The 360-degree adjustment system allows for a precise and secure fit, ensuring the helmet remains stable and comfortable throughout the duration of your cycling activity.

How to use
To use the helmet, place it level on your head so that it covers the forehead without obstructing your vision. Adjust the rear dial until the fit is snug but comfortable. Fasten the chin strap and adjust the side sliders so that the straps form a V-shape just below your ears. Ensure the buckle is securely clicked into place before every ride.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify your head circumference measurement falls within the 54-59 cm range
- Consider the intended cycling environment for visibility needs
- Check that the helmet sits level on your head for maximum protection
Usage recommendations
Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of wear or impact damage. If the helmet sustains a significant impact, it should be replaced immediately, even if no damage is visible. Clean the outer shell with mild soap and water, and allow the pads to air dry.
