HEAD SIZE ADJUSTMENT
The head ring can be adjusted to the correct head size by means of the 4 adjustable pin settings in the left/
right temple area and the Vario-Disk-fit™ turning clasp in the neck (Fig. 3.1). For the size spectrum: 53–64
cm only one helmet shell size is needed (Fig. 3.2).

By placing the pin in the front opening, the size is
reduced, by placing the pin in the back opening, the
size is enlarged. Helmets are delivered ex-factory in
the mid-size position.
NECK HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The neck cushion height is also adjustable. By light-
ly applying excess pressure whilst pushing the neck
cushion up or down, the neck cushion height can be
more comfortably re-positioned (Fig.4).

NECK STRAP ADJUSTMENT
Chin strap (6)
This is a one-off adjustment to be carried out before initial wear. Adjust the length of the strap above the ad-
justment mechanism (metal slide buckle), until the strap is comfortably positioned against the neck without
covering the ear (Fig. 6.1-6.2). The strap is fed through the back of the helmet by means of diffuser from
within. By pulling down on the left or right strap section, the strap length can be evenly regulated (Fig. 6.3).
