The Abus Taipan como helmet features a polycarbonate outer shell and EPS inner cushioning joined using the in-mould process. The helmet weighs 295 g.
Features
- Lower edge protection: the polycarbonate (PC) outer shell covers the lower edge of the helmet and protects it from scratches, impacts and wear.
- Ponytail Fit: an opening in the height-adjustable adjustment system accommodates long hairstyles, including ponytails, buns and braids.
- Front Eyewear Port: a recess at the front of the helmet lets you position glasses securely and aerodynamically while riding.
- Acti Cage: foamed-in structural reinforcement allows for larger ventilation openings while maintaining high stability.
- Reflector sticker: helps improve visibility in the dark.
- Forced Air Cooling: internal channels connect the ventilation openings and direct incoming air through the helmet, supporting air circulation and a comfortable head climate.
- Rechargeable magnetic rear light (optional): the separately available light attaches to the back of the helmet with magnets and can be charged using a USB-C cable. It is intended to improve visibility.
- Zoom Spin adjustment system: a dial at the back of the head allows the helmet to be individually adjusted to head size.
- Flow Straps: aerodynamic straps designed to reduce airflow resistance and noise while providing comfortable wear.
- Floating Pad: padding inside the helmet is attached at several points. Its flexible construction provides better ventilation and greater wearing comfort.
- Removable, washable pads: can be removed and hand-washed or replaced if necessary.
- Push-in buckle: the straps use a classic three-pronged chin buckle for practical fastening and release.
- In-mould process: the inner cushioning material made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) is foamed directly into the polycarbonate (PC) outer shell, creating a durable, robust connection.
