Half helmet UVEX i-vo 2 Black matt — bike helmet, model i-vo 2 by UVEX

The UVEX i-vo 2 Black matt is a compact half helmet designed for everyday cycling — city, e-bike and trekking. It pairs a recycled, shock-absorbing EPS inner layer with a polycarbonate outer shell using inmould construction to deliver impact protection at low weight. The helmet includes the uvex 3D IAS fit system for quick height and circumference adjustment, a removable washable liner made from recycled material, integrated fly screens and 25 vents for ventilation. A built-in sun/shield and an optional plug-in LED increase comfort and visibility for regular urban and recreational use.

Advantages

The helmet offers reliable protection and a comfortable, adjustable fit without pressure points thanks to the uvex 3D IAS system and anatomically shaped uvex monomatic fastener. Inmould construction with a recycled EPS core and polycarbonate shell keeps weight down while maintaining impact resistance. Ventilation is achieved through 25 vents and insect screens, and straps with Y-shaped dividers ensure stable positioning. An optional plug-in LED improves visibility in low light.

Suitable for

• Commuting and city riding
• E-bike and trekking rides
• Leisure cycling and short to medium-distance trips
• Riders seeking a low-profile, everyday helmet

When it may not be suitable

This half helmet is designed for everyday urban and recreational cycling rather than extreme off-road or downhill mountain biking where full-coverage helmets are recommended. Riders needing integrated communication systems or advanced aerodynamic race helmets may find this model does not provide those specific features.

Key specifications

• Construction: inmould (recycled EPS inner layer + polycarbonate outer shell)
• Fit system: uvex 3D IAS adjustable height and circumference
• Sizing: available sizes in ranges (for this model example: 56–60 cm)
• Venting: 25 vents with insect/fly screens
• Lining: removable and washable, made from recycled material
• Fastening: uvex monomatic button-operated sliding tab buckle
• Extras: built-in sun shield; optional plug-in LED light

How to use

Place the helmet so it sits level on the head with the front edge roughly one to two finger-widths above the eyebrows. Use the uvex 3D IAS system to adjust height and circumference until the helmet feels snug without pressure points. Fasten the uvex monomatic buckle and adjust the chin strap using the Y-shaped dividers so the straps form a comfortable V around each ear. Ensure the removable liner is correctly positioned; wash it according to care instructions when needed. If visibility is required in low light, attach the optional plug-in LED.

What to consider before purchase

• Choose the correct size range to match your head circumference for a secure fit
• Decide whether you need the optional plug-in LED for improved low-light visibility
• Consider if a half helmet suits your riding style; full-face helmets are better for aggressive off-road use

Usage recommendations

For daily commuting and leisure rides, regularly check that the fit system and straps are correctly adjusted before each ride, replace the helmet after any significant impact, and keep the removable liner clean to maintain comfort and hygiene.
