Abus Taipan Led helmet

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. The Taipan combines the advantages of ABUS road helmets with the requirements of gravel style. The LED version includes a rechargeable rear light. With this gravel helmet, you can ride where the tarmac ends and the adventure begins. Whether it's endless dirt roads, hidden forest trails or forgotten country lanes, the Taipan will take you to places you've never seen before. With its organic lines and minimalist aesthetics, it's the perfect match for your next outdoor gravel adventure.

Pure Escape
Escape everyday life, embrace 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 you maximum flexibility: thanks to the glasses 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, the Taipan is your partner for maximum performance that requires a lot of effort.

Soul Ride
Rediscover your favourite 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 the 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: attaches to the back of the helmet with magnets and ensures greater visibility – can be recharged with the 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.
• Operating time per mode in hours (min.): depending on weather conditions and type of use, the light lasts at least 4.3 hours in Power mode and at least 35 hours in Flash mode.
• Charging time (light): the charging time until the battery is fully charged is approximately 1.5 hours.
• Zoom™ Spin adjustment system: 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 padding: the inner padding of the helmet, which attaches at several points, makes it more mobile and offers better ventilation and greater comfort when worn.
• Plug-in buckle: for safe and practical use, the straps are equipped with a classic plug-in buckle (trident connection) for opening and closing.
• In-Mould Process: A manufacturing process in which the internal polystyrene foam (EPS) cushioning material is foamed directly into the polycarbonate (PC) outer shell, creating a durable and robust bond.
• Manufacturer's weight: 275 g.
