Citro Special Edition Fan Germany City helmet

An urban bicycle helmet is designed for everyday use, the commute and city riding. Depending on the model, a compact shape, everyday ventilation or functions such as a light and a visor take priority. What is decisive is your intended use, the right size and a stable, pressure free fit.

Measure the head circumference at the widest point of the head, about two fingers above the eyebrows. Compare the measurement with the model's size range. The helmet should sit centrally, rest evenly and must not shift with the chin strap closed.

Check the stated suitability of the specific model. For rides on an e-bike or S-pedelec, KED also offers models positioned specifically for that, with details such as NTA 8776 in the product information. The KED e-bike collection helps you compare precisely.

For commuting routes, an integrated rear light, reflectors, a visor or an insect net can be practical. The specification depends on the model. So compare the product details against when, in what weather and on which routes you mostly ride.

No. An LED rear light, a visor, a rotational impact protection system and buckle systems are not part of the specification on every urban model. The relevant product page shows which functions the version you choose actually offers.

Ventilation differs by construction and model. Look at the number and arrangement of the vents and at any covers. If you ride longer or sportier routes, airflow should weigh more heavily in your choice.

Clean the shell, straps and padding according to the model's care instructions. As a rule, lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft cloth are enough. Avoid aggressive cleaners, solvents, radiators and prolonged storage in high heat.

If the helmet has taken an impact in a crash, it should not be used any further. Damage to the material structure is not always visible. Also follow the notes in the user manual for the model.

At kidiahead.com you will find a wide selection of KED urban bicycle helmets for everyday use, commuting and city riding. In the urban collection you can compare models, sizes, colours and features and order your helmet directly from the manufacturer.

Whether the helmet and the temples of your glasses work together without pressure depends on the model, the glasses and your head shape. Try both on together if you can and watch for pressure points at the temples and ears. The product details on kidiahead.com give further information on visors and the specification of each model.
