FAQs

Q:What is the difference between MTB and road cycling helmets?

A:MTB helmets are designed for off-road riding and typically have more coverage at the back and sides of the head for added protection against falls on rough terrain. They often include visors to shield the eyes from the sun, mud, and branches. Road cycling helmets, on the other hand, are built for aerodynamics and ventilation, focusing on reducing wind resistance and keeping the rider cool on long rides. They generally have fewer visors and more ventilation channels.

Q: What is MIPS technology, and why is it important?

A: MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature incorporated into helmets to reduce rotational forces during an angled impact. It involves a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the head to move slightly inside the helmet upon impact, thus reducing the rotational motion transferred to the brain. This can significantly lower the risk of brain injuries in the event of a crash.

Q: How often should I replace my cycling helmet?

A: It's generally recommended to replace your cycling helmet every 3 to 5 years, even if it hasn't been involved in a crash. Over time, exposure to UV rays, sweat, and the elements can degrade the materials, reducing the helmet's effectiveness. However, if you've been in a crash or the helmet has sustained a significant impact, you should replace it immediately, even if there are no visible signs of damage.

Q: How should a cycling helmet fit properly?

A: A properly fitting cycling helmet should sit level on your head, covering your forehead without tilting back. The front of the helmet should be about one to two finger widths above your eyebrows. The straps should form a "V" shape under each ear, and the chin strap should be snug but comfortable, allowing you to fit no more than one or two fingers between the strap and your chin. The helmet should feel secure and not move when you shake your head.

Q: What are Koroyd helmets, and what are their benefits?

A: Koroyd is a technology used in some helmets that involves a unique tubular structure designed to absorb impact more efficiently than traditional foam. Upon impact, the Koroyd tubes crush uniformly, managing energy and reducing the force transferred to the head. Benefits of Koroyd helmets include superior impact protection, enhanced ventilation due to the open-cell structure, and lighter weight compared to conventional helmets. This makes them particularly popular among MTB and road cyclists seeking high performance and safety.
