Abus Taipan Led helmet - Black

Gravel is more than just cycling: it is a feeling of absolute freedom. No rules, no limits, no obligations. Just you, your Abus Taipan helmet, and endless possibilities. Freedom begins where the asphalt ends. Pure Escape: Leave everyday life behind, enter adventure. Whether it's a ride at dawn or a session after work, the feeling you get right from the start is priceless. The Taipan offers you maximum flexibility: thanks to the glasses holder, the magnetic and rechargeable rear light, and washable padding. Challenge accepted: Steep climbs, interval training on gravel, the next podium: are you looking for a sporting challenge? With its reduced weight, aerodynamic straps, 18 ventilation openings, and an intelligent air cooling system inside the helmet, the Taipan is your partner for top performance that requires a lot of effort. Soul Ride: Rediscover your favorite childhood trails or explore the countryside for hours with friends: the Taipan brings back the feeling of childhood freedom into everyday life. A precise fit is essential to fully enjoy this feeling: thanks to the helmet’s internally subtly widened shape, with space for thicker padding, and the individual adjustment system with an opening for ponytails, the helmet fits like a second skin.

• Lower edge protection: The outer polycarbonate (PC) shell covers the lower edge of the helmet and protects against scratches, impacts, and signs of wear
  
• Ponytail opening: thanks to the recess in the height-adjustable adjustment system, the helmet is also suitable for long hairstyles such as ponytails, buns, or braids
  
• Front glasses holder: defined recess on the front of the helmet to securely and aerodynamically position glasses while riding
  
• Acti Cage™: allows wider ventilation openings with simultaneously high stability thanks to the structural foam reinforcement
  
• Reflective sticker: for better visibility in the dark
  
• Cooling airflow system: the ventilation openings are connected internally via channels to channel incoming air through the helmet, ensuring maximum air circulation and a pleasant climate for the head
  
• Magnetic and rechargeable rear light: attaches to the back of the helmet via magnets and ensures greater visibility – can be recharged with a USB-C cable
  
• IP44: Protection class certifying protection against solid foreign bodies larger than 1 mm and against water splashes for electronic products, such as lamps
  
• Four different lighting modes (rear light): Steady, Power, Pulse, and Flash selectable – suitable for lighting and weather conditions
