3. Setup and Fitting

3.1 Measuring Head Circumference

To ensure the correct helmet size, measure your head circumference. Use a tape measure to wrap around your head, approximately 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) above your eyebrows and ears. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart below.

3.2 Adjusting the Fit System

The helmet features an adjustable dial at the back to customize the fit. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen until the helmet feels snug without being uncomfortably tight. The helmet should sit level on your head, covering your forehead, and should not rock side-to-side or front-to-back.

3.3 Chin Strap Adjustment

Adjust the chin strap so that it forms a "V" shape under your ears. The buckle should be centered under your chin. Tighten the strap so that only one or two fingers can fit between the strap and your chin. The quick-release safety buckle ensures easy fastening and removal.

3.4 Attaching/Detaching the Visor

The helmet comes with a detachable tinted visor. To attach, align the visor's clips with the corresponding slots on the helmet and press firmly until it clicks into place. To detach, gently pull the visor away from the helmet. The visor can be retracted or extended as needed during your ride.
