ABUS Taipan Helmet - velvet black

Freedom begins where the asphalt ends Gravel is more than a sport. Gravel is a feeling. The freedom to turn off when others are going straight ahead. Light, shade, wind, water, nature - and you in the middle of it all. This is exactly what the Taipan is made for: for riders who are looking for their own way. And for trails that know no signposts. Features of the ABUS Taipan helmet: Lower edge protection: outer shell made of polycarbonate (PC) covers the lower edge of the helmet and protects against scratches, bumps and scuff marks Plait opening: thanks to the recess in the height-adjustable adjustment system, the helmet is also suitable for long hairstyles such as ponytails, buns or plaits Glasses holder at the front: defined recess at the front of the helmet to hold glasses in a secure and aerodynamic position while riding Acti Cage™: allows larger ventilation openings with high stability thanks to foamed-in structural reinforcement Reflective sticker: for better visibility in the dark Cooling airflow system: the ventilation openings are connected to each other via internal channels to direct incoming air through the helmet for maximum air circulation and a comfortable head climate Rechargeable, magnetic rear light (optional): the separately available light for better visibility is attached to the back of the helmet using magnets and can be charged using a USB-C charging cable Zoom™ Spin adjustment system: rotating wheel at the back of the head for individual adjustment of the helmet to the head circumference Flow Straps™: aerodynamic straps for low flow resistance, less noise and high wearing comfort Floating pad: pad on the inside of the helmet that clicks into place via several attachment points, making it more flexible and offering better ventilation and greater comfort Removable, washable padding: can be removed and washed by hand or replaced if necessary Push-in buckle: the straps are fitted with a classic buckle (trident connection) for opening and closing for safe and practical handling In-mold process: Production process in which the inner cushioning material made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) is foamed directly into the outer shell made of polycarbonate (PC) - this creates a durable and robust connection Pure Escape Out of everyday life, into adventure. Whether it's a sunrise ride or an after-work session - the feeling of simply setting off is priceless. The Taipan gives you maximum flexibility: thanks to the goggle holder, light option and washable pads.
