City, Countryside, the Future: increasingly, bicycles will become the most important means of transport in urban areas, promising independence and improving quality of life. Visibility on a bike is essential – to safeguard both the rider and other road users. Reflective details on clothing and perfectly working bicycle lights are often used. For even more safety, uvex presents the new uvex city light.

uvex city light is a simple, sporty city bike helmet. Its true character reveals when the power button is pressed: under the outer shell, 4 LED strips light up – 2 at the front, 2 at the back – with 32 LEDs in all. To make the cyclist more visible at dawn or dusk, or in the dark. At the touch of a button, the LEDs switch between constant, flash and pulse. Depending on the mode, the built-in battery lasts 6 to 12 hours. Recharge in less than 2 hours using the supplied USB cable. An LED indicates charge status:

• Green: 60 % power remaining
• Green/Red: 30 to 60 % power remaining
• Red: ≤ 30 % power remaining, low battery

This technology lies behind an extra LED light at the back of the helmet. Reflective straps and lettering complete the package. Note: road traffic regulations class these helmet LEDs as an auxiliary, passive lights and do not replace active bicycle lights. Made for: night owls

Special features: built-in LED lights, double in-mold construction, IAS 3D fit system, 18 vents, visor, reflective straps, and logos, including a plug-in LED.

How do I adjust my cycling helmet properly?
It’s very important to ensure that the cycling helmet sits properly not only for safety reasons but of course also for comfort. That’s why you should make sure to select the correct helmet size before making your purchase.

A few tips for a proper fit

head circumference
First, the circumference of the head needs to be measured to determine the appropriate helmet size. A measuring tape offers the easiest solution: measure the full circumference of the head two finger-widths above the eyebrows and above the ears. Tip: if you don’t have a measuring tape, you can also use a piece of string and then measure it with a ruler. 

The right helmet size
The “from-to” size can be found inside the helmet itself: each uvex helmet size accommodates a range of head sizes such as 52–57 cm and 56–61 cm. Alternatively, you can ask the specialist retailer about your helmet size.

Width adjustment
Now turn the dial at the back of the head to accurately adjust the fit down to the millimeter. Next, you need to check how the helmet fits on your head: loosen the uvex IAS 3D system by turning the dial and putting the helmet on. It should fit comfortably but not fall off when you shake your head lightly with the chin strap open.

Height adjustment
The height of the uvex IAS 3D system can also be adjusted – with the easy-to-use ratchet closure: using two fingers, identify the appropriate height and insert.

Y-divider
The uvex IAS 3D system can be adjusted to improve the position of the y-divider. It should fit comfortably around the ears. The length of the chin strap can also be adjusted in just one simple step.

Level position
Before cycling, you should always ensure that the position of the helmet is level – not too low on the forehead or the neck. The ideal position is two finger-widths above the eyebrows.
