How to use

To use the helmet, place it level on your head, ensuring it sits low on the forehead to provide maximum protection. Adjust the rear dial until the fit is snug but comfortable. Fasten the chin strap and adjust the side buckles so that the straps form a V-shape just below the ears. Ensure the strap is tight enough to keep the helmet secure but loose enough to allow for comfortable breathing and swallowing.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your head circumference measurement to ensure it falls within the 50-56 cm range.
• Consider the intended riding environment to ensure the ventilation level meets your needs.
• Check that the helmet sits comfortably with your preferred cycling eyewear.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect your helmet for signs of wear or damage before every ride. If the helmet has been involved in a significant impact, it must be replaced immediately, even if no visible damage is present. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
