Abus - Taipan LED

Taipan combines the benefits of ABUS road helmets with the demands of gravel riding. The LED version includes a rechargeable rear light. With this gravel helmet, you can ride where the tarmac ends and adventure begins.

IL TUO HELMET. LA TUA RIDE. LA TUA ADVENTURE. Gravel is more than just cycling: it is a feeling of absolute freedom. No rules, no limits, no obligations. Just you, your Taipan and endless possibilities. Freedom begins where the tarmac ends. Pure Escape: Leave everyday life behind and head into adventure. Whether it is a ride at dawn or a session after work, the feeling as you set off is priceless. Taipan gives you maximum flexibility, thanks to its eyewear holder, magnetic 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 low weight, aerodynamic straps, 18 ventilation openings and an intelligent air cooling system inside the helmet, Taipan is your partner for demanding peak performances. Soul Ride: Rediscover your favourite childhood trails or spend hours exploring the countryside with friends: Taipan brings that childhood feeling of freedom into everyday life. A precise fit is essential to enjoying this feeling: thanks to the helmet's subtly widened internal shape, with room for thicker padding, and the individual adjustment system with a ponytail opening, the helmet fits like a second skin.

Lower edge protection: The polycarbonate (PC) outer shell covers the helmet's lower edge and protects against scratches, knocks and signs of wear

Ponytail opening: Thanks to the cut-out in the height-adjustable fitting system, the helmet is also suitable for long hairstyles such as ponytails, buns or plaits

Front eyewear holder: A dedicated recess at the front of the helmet holds eyewear in a secure, aerodynamic position while riding

Acti Cage™: Allows larger ventilation openings while maintaining high stability thanks to structural reinforcement in the foam

Reflective sticker: For better visibility in the dark

Cooling airflow system: The ventilation openings are connected by internal channels to direct incoming air through the helmet, ensuring maximum air circulation and a comfortable temperature around your head

Magnetic rechargeable rear light: Attaches to the back of the helmet using magnets and provides greater visibility - can be recharged using the USB-C cable

IP44: Protection rating certifying protection against solid foreign objects larger than 1 mm and against splashing water for electronic products such as lights

Four different lighting modes (rear light): Steady, Power, Pulse and Flash can be selected to suit the lighting and weather conditions

Operating time per mode in h (min.): Depending on weather conditions and usage, the light lasts at least 4,3 hours in Power mode and at least 35 hours in Flash mode

Charging time (light): The battery takes approximately 1,5 hours to charge fully

Zoom™ Spin adjustment system: Dial at the back of the head for individually adjusting the helmet to your head circumference

Flow Straps™: Aerodynamic straps for low airflow resistance, less noise and high wearing comfort

Floating padding: The helmet's internal padding attaches at several fixing points, allowing greater movement and providing better ventilation and greater wearing comfort

Clip buckle: For safe, practical use, the straps feature a classic clip buckle (three-pronged connection) for opening and closing

In-Mold process: A manufacturing process in which the internal shock-absorbing expanded polystyrene (EPS) material is foamed directly into the polycarbonate (PC) outer shell, creating a durable, strong bond
