STEP 5: GO FOR A TEST RIDE
After the fit process is complete and you are satisfied with
the overall fit of your helmet, go for a short test ride. Take
note of any uncomfortable pressure points and verify that
your helmet will be stable and comfortable for the duration
of your future rides. If any minor adjustments need to be
made to the fit and/or the straps, complete them before
going on your next ride.
WARNING! Check for proper fit and adjustment
often, including each time you wear it, and
periodically during use. If the helmet does not
pass the Fit System Check and Chin Strap Check,
do not use it.
WARNING! Never make adjustments to the helmet
while riding as it may cause you to lose control
and fall.
4. VISORS
If your helmet is equipped with a visor:
To remove: Gently pull the lower ends of the visor
out of the snap or attachment feature and away from
the helmet, then pull the visor straight up and off the
helmet to release it from the top snap.
To attach: Align the upper visor snaps or attachment
feature over the top snap mechanism on the helmet and
firmly press to engage until you hear an audible “click.”
Next, align the two lower visor snaps or attachment
features over the lower snap mechanisms on the helmet
Fit System Check: While looking in a mirror, grab your
helmet on the sides with both hands, then rock the
helmet side to side, and twist the helmet left to right. If
the helmet is fit correctly, the skin on the forehead will
move with the helmet. If it does not, check the fit system
to make sure it is snug enough. You should also tighten
the chin strap and check it again.
Chin Strap Check: Grab the helmet and vigorously
try to pull the helmet forward and backward as far
as possible, as if you are trying to take the helmet off
without unbuckling the straps. When doing this, you
should feel the strap pull uncomfortably against the
underside of your chin and the helmet should resist any
movement. If that is not the case, tighten the chin strap
and try it again. If you are able to remove the helmet in
either direction, expose your forehead or obscure your
vision, your helmet is not fit correctly. Repeat the fit
steps until you achieve proper fit.
WARNING! You should not be able to pull the
helmet off your head with the chin strap buckled
and adjusted. If you can remove the helmet, if it
slips in any direction easily, exposes your forehead
or obscures your vision, or if you cannot otherwise
achieve a proper fit as outlined in this manual, DO
NOT USE THE HELMET. Replace it with a different
size and/or model that can be fit properly. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury or death.
