INTRODUCTION
A PROPER FIT IS INTEGRAL TO A HELMET’S PERFORMANCE.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS TO BE SURE
YOUR X2e IS FITTED PROPERLY. YOU CAN ALSO VISIT
XENITH.COM TO VIEW OUR FITTING INSTRUCTION VIDEO.
STEP 1 MEASURE YOUR HEAD
X2e SUGGESTED SIZE GUIDE
USING A STANDARD MEASURING TAPE, MEASURE THE
CIRCUMFERENCE OF YOUR HEAD AN INCH ABOVE YOUR
EYEBROWS. THEN CONSULT THE XENITH X2e SIZE
GUIDE BELOW AND CHOOSE YOUR CORRECT SIZE X2e
HELMET.
STEP 2 PROPER SETUP
UNBUCKLE ALL FOUR SNAP BUCKLES AND FEED THE
CHINSTRAPS THROUGH THE FIRST SLOT OF THE SNAP
BUCKLES ONLY. THIS WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO ADJUST
THE CHINSTRAPS DURING FITTING.
ENSURE THE HELMET IS SEATED PROPERLY ON YOUR
HEAD. THE FRONT EDGE OF THE HELMET SHOULD REST
JUST ABOVE YOUR BROW, AND NOT BE ROTATED
EXCESSIVELY FORWARD OR BACKWARD. IF YOU ARE
BETWEEN SIZES, CHOOSE THE LARGER SIZE AND
INSERT THICKER COMFORT PADS.
STEP 3 SEAT THE HELMET ON YOUR HEAD
STEP 4 CINCH THE LOW STRAPS
PULL THE LOW CHINSTRAPS OUTWARD, WHICH WILL
CAUSE THE CHINCUP TO SLIDE UP TO MEET YOUR CHIN,
AND THE SHOCK BONNET TO SNUG DOWN AROUND
YOUR HEAD. BE SURE TO PULL EVENLY ON BOTH SIDES
SO THAT THE CHINCUP STAYS CENTERED. DO NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN, AS THIS MAY CAUSE DISCOMFORT.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

BRING THE LOW CHINSTRAPS UNDER THE JAWLINE OF
THE SHELL (AS SHOWN) AND UP TO THE SNAP. THEN
SLIDE EACH BUCKLE ALONG THE CHINSTRAP AND SNAP
IT INTO PLACE, LEAVING MINIMAL SLACK IN THE
CHINSTRAP.
STEP 5 ADJUST LOW BUCKLES AND SECURE
STEP 6 ADJUST HIGH BUCKLES AND SECURE
PULL THE HIGH CHINSTRAPS UPWARD SO THAT THE
CHINCUP PIVOTS UNDER YOUR CHIN. SLIDE THE
BUCKLES DOWN ALONG EACH CHINSTRAP AND SNAP
INTO PLACE, LEAVING MINIMAL SLACK IN THE
CHINSTRAP.
STEP 7 CHECK FOR PROPER FIT
WITH ALL FOUR BUCKLES SNAPPED INTO PLACE,
APPLY FORCE TO THE FACEMASK IN MULTIPLE
DIRECTIONS. IF THERE IS EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT,
TIGHTEN THE CHINSTRAPS FURTHER AND READJUST
THE BUCKLES. IF THE CHINCUP SLIDES OFF THE CHIN,
UNBUCKLE THE HIGH STRAPS AND ADJUST.
STEP 8 LOCK BUCKLES IN PLACE
ONCE YOU HAVE TIGHTENED ALL FOUR STRAPS AND
THE HELMET FEELS SECURE, LOCK THE BUCKLES INTO
PLACE BY FEEDING THE END OF THE CHINSTRAP
THROUGH THE SECOND SLOT OF EACH BUCKLE.
SIZING ACCESSORIES
X2e JAW Shocks COME IN THREE SIZES, AND SNUG
COMFORT PADS ARE AVAILABLE FOR A MORE
CUSTOMIZED FIT. SIMPLY VISIT XENITH.COM AND
PLACE YOUR ORDER.

XENITH RECONDITIONING
Unlike our competitors’ helmets, your
Xenith helmet parts, both shell and inner
components, will stay together and its
maintenance history will be tracked by a
unique serial number system, so you can
have the highest level of confidence.
IN ADDITION TO OUR NATIONWIDE NETWORK OF AUTHORIZED XENITH RECONDITIONERS, XENITH
OFFERS YOU THE ABILITY TO HAVE YOUR XENITH HELMETS SERVICED IN OUR STATE-OF-THE-
ART RECONDITIONING FACILITY. AT THE XENITH RECONDITIONING FACILITY YOUR HELMET WILL
GO THROUGH THE SAME ASSEMBLY AND QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES AS A BRAND NEW
XENITH HELMET.
