<\/a><\/p>\nThe Quatro is uvex’s top of the line helmet aimed at trail, all-mountain, and enduro riders. It offers a good amount of coverage around the back of the helmet and several other great features.<\/p>\n
<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe first of which is uvex’s unique retention system dubbed “anatomic IAS”. It features a 360-degree adjustment system with a familiar dial at the back that picks up the slack for a snug fit. To further adjust fit over the head, there are vertical clips above the ear that provide seven different height positions. The inner lining is made from anti-allergenic, antibacterial, fast drying material that can be both removed and washed.<\/p>\n
The chin strap is secured using a ratchet system that is super easy to open and close. It offers a perfect fit without the need to fiddle with adjusting nylon straps in the hope that you get it right. There’s even a felt strip to increase comfort around your chin.<\/p>\n There is a universal mount on top and it comes with optional adapters for a light or action camera. At the back, there’s a triangular gap that a rear facing light can be clipped into. These accessories are well made and fit securely to the Quatro.<\/p>\n Team PYGA Euro Steel and Absolute Motion’s Henry Liebenberg, Zandri Strydom and the newly formed Team Darkhorse Wheels are all ambassadors for the brand; testimony to the quality of the product and uvex’s commitment to South African cycling.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n The Quatro was immediately a comfortable fit only requiring minor adjustments to ensure that it would remain securely in place. I really liked how cranking up the tension on the retention did not cause any discomfort or hot spots with the pressure being applied evenly around the head. I cannot stress enough how impressed I was with the retention system.<\/p>\n The generously sized ventilation channels all around the helmet mean that the ventilation is superb. Not once did I feel that the helmet suffers from heat build-up. It was noticeably better at keeping my noggin cool than the Fox Metah<\/a> that the uvex has replaced. Another plus compared to the Fox is the adjustable visor – especially on steep descents where the Fox could do with a centimetre or so chopped off for a better field of view.<\/p>\n I used my GoPro on the optional action camera mount and the footage was good with no evidence of the mount shifting during filming. I made use of the rear light on every ride. I found it comforting knowing that I was out riding with a high-mounted rear facing light. Think of it as the third brake light that comes standard with vehicles.<\/p>\n Thankfully, I did not test the protection or robustness of the Quatro in a crash, but looking at the thoughtfulness of the features and build quality, I have few doubts that the uvex Quatro will get the job done should the need arise.<\/p>\n uvex sports clearly did their homework with the Quatro and have brought a comfortable helmet that is rich in features to the market.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n To win a R2,000 uvex sports shopping voucher:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\nFeatures:<\/h2>\n
