How to fit your helmet

A perfectly fitted helmet is safer, more comfortable and stays securely in place.

Follow these simple steps to get the perfect fit in minutes.

STEP 1 - Adjust your SafeFit

SafeFit® adapts to the shape of your head for a secure, even fit without pressure points. Unlike traditional dial systems, it stays securely in place, so your helmet fits the same way every time you ride.

1. Open and put it on

Press both side buttons to widen the helmet, then place it on your head. The helmet opens wider than you might expect, making it easy to put on.

2. Find your perfect fit

If the helmet feels too loose, gently push the sides inward until it feels snug and secure. If it feels too tight, press both buttons to release the fit slightly. Adjust until the helmet feels comfortable without creating pressure points. The helmet should be positioned 2 cm above the eyebrows.

3. Take it off

Press both buttons to release the fit before removing the helmet. Once you've found your ideal setting, you can also take it off without readjusting. SafeFit® remembers your fit for the next ride.

Step 2 - Choose the right padding

Choose the padding that fits you best

Your helmet comes with three padding options, so you can fine-tune the fit to your head.

Thick padding – Use this if the helmet feels a little too loose.

Regular padding – The ideal choice for most riders and a perfect everyday fit.

No padding – Use this if the helmet feels too tight or if you need a little extra room.

Step 3 - Adjust the chin strap

Buckle the magnetic clasp and tighten the straps. You should be able to fit one or two fingers comfortably between the strap and your chin.

Step 4: secure buckle

Fasten the Fidlock® magnetic buckle by bringing both parts together. The magnets guide the buckle into place automatically.

To open it, simply slide the buckle sideways.

Step 5: turn on brake light

Before you ride, switch on your integrated brake light by pressing and holding the power button.

The motion-activated brake light automatically brightens when you slow down, increasing your visibility to other road users.

When needed, simply recharge it using a USB-C cable.
