3. WIND DEFLECTOR
The wind deflector reduces air intrusion and unpleasant effect of the wind
created when you ride by flowing into the helmet. This feature allows to
also reduce the riding noises (such as wind, motor, track...). In
addition, the wind deflector prevents the infiltration of several
contaminants (such as rocks, snow, sand, ice, etc.)
For optimal performance of the helmet, it should be used with the BRP
PYRA balaclava.
REMOVING THE WIND DEFLECTOR
1. Press the side of the wind deflector
as shown to remove the bottom part.
2. Press on wind deflector as shown to
remove the top section.
Note: Avoid pulling on the wind
deflector to prevent damage.

B. THE HELMET
INSTALLING THE WIND DEFLECTOR
1. Insert the 4 protrusions of the wind
deflector in the chin of the helmet in
their specific housing as shown.
4. CHINSTRAP ATTACHMENT
The retention system of the PYRA helmet comes with double D-ring.
This locking system is easy to use and enables you to adjust the chinstrap
perfectly to your head every time you put the helmet on.
ADJUSTING THE CHINSTRAP
Lead chinstrap through eyelets of both rings (1).
Curl back and thread through taller ring with nylon pull-tab (2).
Securely tighten the strap until comfortable and safe (3).

is not correctly
adjusted or fastened, the helmet could be displaced in the event of an
accident.
WARNING
Closing the comfort pad of the chinstrap alone will not provide adequate
protection. The chinstrap must always be fully fastened.
WARNING
Never open the chinstrap while riding.
5. INNER LINER
The replaceable inner lining of the PYRA helmet is washable and ensures
both an excellent fit and improved ventilation of the helmet.
The dual-density cheek pads have a specific 3D shape to ensure that the
helmet fits comfortably around the cheeks, and the headliner provides an
optimal fit all around the head.
All interior fittings are made entirely of skin-friendly material. The material
used for the cheek pads and head liner has been constructed with sweat-
wicking material.
When removing the lining, the cheek pads must first be detached before
taking out the headband pad. When fitting the lining, remember to insert
the headband pad before the cheek pads.

C. FIT & USAGE
1. HOW TO PUT THE HELMET ON
1. Open the chinstrap and chinstrap comfort pad.
2. Pull apart the lower ends of the chinstrap.
3. It will now be easy to put the helmet on.
4. Close and fasten the chinstrap.
5. Make sure the chinstrap passes under the chin and fits snugly.
2. PROPER FIT
WARNING
Never buy a used helmet or borrow someone else’s helmet. Over time
the protective foam in helmets will adjust to the contours of a user’s head.
A used or borrowed helmet may not offer as much protection as a new
helmet.
WARNING
Wearing the wrong helmet size can increase the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident. A helmet that is too large for your head may be
dislodged or knocked off in an accident.
To select the right helmet size for your head, follow the steps:
1. MEASURE HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE
Have someone help you measure your head circumference and choose a
helmet size close to that value. Refer to the helmet sizing table above.
Position the tape around your head, from the center of the forehead,
above the ears and over the natural bump at the back of the head.
Note: Tape must be snug but not tight. If measurements fall between two
sizes, order the larger size.
2. TRY ON THE HELMET
Grasp both chinstraps to pull the helmet completely onto your head,
ensuring that the top of your head is in contact with the top of the helmet
interior. Try the helmet with all the protection you plan to use (balaclava,
neck tube, face mask, etc.)
3. CHECK FOR A PROPER FIT
To make sure that your helmet is the right size, check that:
• The helmet inner lining fits snugly around your head.
• The top pad presses firmly on your head.
• The cheek pads contact your cheeks.
• There is no space around your brow under the inner lining. Test this by
trying to insert your fingers. If the helmet does not fit snugly, try on a
smaller size.
This step might take several trials before finding the perfect adjustment.

10
C. FIT & USAGE
4. CHECK YOUR FIELD OF VISION
Some helmets may obstruct or block your vision when looking left, right,
up, or down.
WARNING
Always make sure you can see well enough to safely operate your
vehicle.
5. TEST THE HELMET FIT
Place your hands on each side of the helmet. While holding your head as
motionless as possible, try rotating your helmet from left to right then up
and down. You should feel the helmet move the skin on your head and
face as you try to move the helmet.
If it is not the case or if you can feel the helmet padding sliding on your
head, it is too big. If the helmet is constricting or painful, it is too small.
6. FASTEN THE CHINSTRAP
Tighten it under your jaw until there remains no slack in the strap, and the
strap must be tight up against your jaw.
7. TEST THE CHINSTRAP FIT
• Put your hands on the back of the helmet and try to push the helmet off
by rotating it forward.
• Put your hands on the front of the helmet above your forehead (or on the
chin guard) and try to push.
• If helmet comes off, try another size or model.
Repeat steps 1 through 6 until you find a helmet that fits your head snugly
and securely.
3. HOW TO TAKE THE HELMET OFF
1. Open the chinstrap.
2. Hold the lower ends of the chinstrap and pull them apart to ease
removal.
3. The helmet can now be removed easily from the head.
To avoid scratching any objects you might place the helmet on, we
recommend closing the chinstrap after you have taken the helmet off.

C. FIT & USAGE
4. PROPER USAGE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death and to help prevent damage
to your helmet:
Never ride with a visor that does not allow you to see clearly
– Scratch, deterioration, fogging can impair your vision. Some tinted
visors might not be safe in night riding.
Never adjust your helmet accessories while riding –
Only make
helmet adjustments when stopped.
Always wear eye protection – If you are not using a helmet with a visor,
always wear eye protection when riding. Always lock your visor in place
when you are riding. Internal sun visor is not considered as a face shield.
Never wear a dark or tinted main visor in dark or
poor visibility
riding conditions. This is not only unsafe, but also illegal in most states.
Never wear a sun visor that has become scratched, or ride with a main
visor that is fogged by condensation.
Always be alert for sounds – Your helmet may impair
your hearing.
However, your helmet is not a form of hearing protection.
Always wear appropriate protection against frostbite – Frostbite can
happen when using your helmet in cold weather. Protection may include
a balaclava, neck tube, facemask, or combination of these items.
5. PROPER HELMET HANDLING
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death and to help prevent damage
to your helmet:
Never place your helmet where it could easily roll
off or fall and
impact the ground causing damage to the helmet – It is best to place
your helmet on the ground so it cannot fall in any direction.
Never drop your helmet – Dropping your helmet may crack the shell or
damage the protective foam.
The damage may not be visible. Your
helmet is only designed for ONE impact.
Never use insect repellent on or around your helmet – Insect
repellant may damage your helmet’s visor, shell, protective foam, or other
components.
Never expose helmet to gasoline or gasoline fumes – Gasoline may
damage your helmet’s visor, shell, protective foam, or other components.
Other substances may damage your helmet, see proper
care section.
Always store your helmet in a helmet bag – When not in use to help
reduce accidental surface damage.

12
D. BEFORE EVERY RIDE
1. CHECKING THE HELMET
Regularly inspect your helmet for damage. Small superficial scratches will
not impair the protective function of your helmet.
WARNING
In the case of more serious damage (cracks, dents, flaking and cracking
paint, etc.), the helmet should no longer be used.
WARNING
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted. The
chinstrap should fit correctly and should not become loose when pulled.
The fastener is not correctly closed if the chinstrap becomes loose when
pulled.

13
E. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. MODIFICATIONS / ACCESSORIES
WARNING
Original components (in particular on the outer shell, inner shell and
restraint system) should not be altered or removed.
Remember that installing unapproved accessories or doing any helmet
modification can reduce the protective effect, renders the certification, all
warranty and insurance claims invalid.
Use only original parts, replacement parts and accessories that BRP has
expressly approved for your helmet!
Modifying your helmet may reduce its ability to protect you and increase
your risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
Modifications include the following:
• Drilling holes
• Cutting shell, strap or shock absorbing liner
• Pressing shock absorbing liner
• Modifying the retention system, including adding a chin cup
• Removing parts
• Painting
• Using adhesives
• Installing unapproved accessories
2. FROSTBITE
WARNING
What is frostbite?
Frostbite can be defined as the freezing of the skin a
nd/or the bodily
tissues under the skin. It is thermal injury that can result from prolonged
exposure to moderate cold or brief exposure to extreme cold.
What causes frostbite to occur?
Different factors can contribute to the occurrence of frostbite such as:
• Length of time a person is exposed to the cold;
• Temperature outside;
• Force of the wind (wind-chill factor);
• Humidity in the air;
• Wetness of clothing;
• Previous frostbite or cold injury.
How to prevent frostbite
• Do not go outdoors for prolonged periods in severely cold weather.
• Always wear additional headwear such as a balaclava, neck tube, face
mask, or a combination of those items.
• Change any wet clothes immediately.
• Watch for signs of frostbites frequently: Red or pale skin, prickling and
numbness.
• Avoid caffeine, tobacco and alcohol when going out in the cold, as these
leave the skin more prone to thermal injury;

F. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Never use petroleum-based chemicals, solvents, gasoline, cleaning
agents or adhesives to clean the shell, liners, or visors of your helmet.
Your helmet shell, liner and visors may be seriously damaged by the use
of such products and the full safety function of the helmet can then no
longer be guaranteed.
1. SHELL CLEANING
To clean the helmet shell, only use warm mild soapy water or
commercially available mild soaps made for that purpose.
Using water and soap is usually sufficient. Make sure when using any
other cleaning materials that these do not risk damaging the cleaned
surfaces.
2. INTERIOR CLEANING
The inner lining of the PYRA helmet can be removed completely.
The head and cheek pads can be washed by hand using a mild soap
solution (e.g. with highly diluted standard mild detergent) at a maximum
temperature of 30 °C.
Hand washing is recommended, but machine washing is also permitted.
Use the "delicate" cycle to prevent the agitator from damaging the sweat-
wicking material covering the liner parts. Allow the lining to dry at room
temperature and with good ventilation.
WARNING
Do not place lining parts in the dryer: Excess heat may damage the foam
and coverings.
3. HELMET INSPECTION
Check for helmet damages. If your helmet is damaged or cracked, stop
using it immediately and replace it.
Check for worn or damaged parts. Plastic components may wear out over
time. If you find worn or damaged parts, replace them, or purchase a new
helmet. See "Replacement parts" for information on parts replacement.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, always inspect your helmet
before each ride.
The helmet should be replaced 3 to 5 years after the date of purchase,
depending on use and care. Although the outer shell is in principle
capable of a longer service life, the occurrence of material fatigue and
wear to other components, as well as the overall action of the helmet and
the unknown conditions in which the helmet has been used, make it
advisable for your own safety to replace the helmet after this period of use.
Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause damage to the helmet
esthetics, the inner shell of the helmet and the interior lining.
4. HELMET STORAGE
• Store helmet in a cool and dry place;
• Keep helmet away from pets and other animals;
• Keep helmet away from heat more than 50ºC
(122ºF) and do not set on or near hot surfaces;
•Store helmet in a helmet bag.
WARNING
Improperly stored helmet can become damaged.
