Abus Taipan helmet 2026

Your helmet. Your ride. Your adventure.

Gravel is more than just cycling: it's a feeling of absolute freedom. No rules, no limits, no obligations. Just you, your Taipan, and endless possibilities. Whether it's endless dirt roads, hidden forest trails, or forgotten country lanes, the Taipan will take you to places you've never been before. With its organic lines and minimalist aesthetic, it's the perfect match for your next outdoor gravel adventure.

Pure Escape
Leave everyday life behind and embark on an adventure. Whether it's a ride at dawn or a session after work, the feeling you get when you set off is priceless. The Taipan offers maximum flexibility: thanks to the glasses holder, light option, 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 a clever air cooling system inside the helmet, the Taipan is your partner for maximum 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 the feeling of childhood freedom back into everyday life. A precise fit is essential to enjoy this feeling: thanks to the helmet's slightly enlarged inner shape, with space for thicker padding, and the individual adjustment system with a ponytail opening, the helmet fits like a second skin.

Features

• Lower edge protection: The polycarbonate (PC) outer shell covers the lower edge of the helmet and protects against scratches, impacts, and signs of wear.
• Hair 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: recess on the front of the helmet to position glasses in a safe and aerodynamic position while riding.
• Acti Cage™: allows for larger ventilation openings with high stability thanks to structural foam reinforcement.
• Reflective sticker: for better visibility in the dark.
• Cooling airflow system: the ventilation openings are connected to each other via channels inside to channel the incoming air through the helmet and thus ensure maximum air circulation and a pleasant climate for the head.
• Magnetic, rechargeable rear light (optional): the separately available light for improved visibility is attached to the rear of the helmet using magnets and can be recharged using a USB-C charging cable.
• Zoom™ Spin adjustment system: dial 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 padding: the inner padding of the helmet, which attaches at several fixing points, makes it more mobile and offers better ventilation and greater wearing comfort.
• Removable and washable padding: can be removed and hand washed or replaced if necessary.
• Snap buckle: for safe and practical use, the straps are equipped with a classic snap buckle (trident connection) for opening and closing.
• In-Mold process: Production process in which the internal polystyrene foam (EPS) cushioning material is foamed directly into the polycarbonate (PC) outer shell, creating a durable and robust connection.
• Manufacturer's weight: 255 g.
