GENERAL RULES

For maximum safety, MX SPEED PRO must fit tightly and be correctly
and securely fastened, so it cannot be taken off neither by pulling it
nor by rotating it around the head (see figure 1). If it is too big it may
slide down over the eyes or turn in a lateral direction due to movement
during riding, thus blocking visibility.
FIGURE 1
Do not use scarves or neck guards which could make the strap slide
and the helmet fly off in case of crash.
MX SPEED PRO was designed to be used with most of the eyeglasses
on the market. In any case check how the helmet fits with the glasses
before purchasing it.
The function of the helmet is to reduce stress on the user's head
in case of crash; this happens through a partial destruction and/or
deformation of its components (mostly the external shell and the
internal polystyrene shell). In this way part of the energy generated
by the impact is absorbed by the components of the helmet, thus
reducing the vibrations on the user's head, eliminating or limiting the
risk of traumas. The protection capacity of the helmet is not endless
and certain crashes may generate such high stress that even the
energy absorbed by the helmet is not enough to protect the user from
injuries: no helmet, even top quality helmets, can protect the head
against the forces generated by any type of crash.
The integrity of the shell and of the inside are essential to assure
maximum performances in terms of safety. MX SPEED PRO was
studied to absorb crashes through a partial destruction of the shell or
some of its parts that could be damaged after a crash even if it is not
readily visibly. If the helmet suffers further stress it might not be able
to offer the maximum level of protection.
Do not use a helmet that suffered severe blows even though the
damage is not readily visible; if the helmet is damaged it must be
replaced.
It is extremely dangerous to modify the helmet by sticking or gluing
anything on it. Do not cut or punch the helmet's shell, do not insert
screws or paint it.
Do not change the internal lining of the helmet, particularly never cut
or change the inside polystyrene padding: changes to the shape of
the internal polystyrene shell can affect the safety features of the
helmet.
USE
Only use original Suomy accessories and spare parts or those
specifically indicated by Suomy for the specific model: this is the
only way to assure reliability, safety and compatibility with the helmet
used.
The use of non original components and/or accessories make the
warranty void (see warranty conditions on page 20) and can affect
the safety requirements.
