Taipan LED: The Taipan combines the advantages of ABUS road helmets with the requirements of the gravel lifestyle. The LED version includes a rechargeable Rear Light. With this gravel helmet, you can ride where the tarmac ends – and the adventure begins.

YOUR HELMET. YOUR RIDE. YOUR ADVENTURE.

Gravel is more than just cycling – it's a feeling of absolute freedom. No rules, no limits, no "you have to". Just you, your Taipan and endless possibilities.

Freedom begins where the tarmac ends

Pure escape: Get out of everyday life and 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 Eyewear Port, Light option and washable pads.

Challenge accepted: Steep climbs, interval training on gravel, the next podium finish – 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 sweat-inducing top performance.

Soul ride: Rediscover your favourite childhood trails or cruise through the countryside for hours with friends – the Taipan brings the feeling of childhood freedom back into your everyday life. A precise fit is essential so that you can indulge in this feeling: thanks to the discreetly widened inner helmet shape with space for thicker padding and individually adaptable adjustment system with Ponytail Fit, the helmet feels like a second skin.

Technologies

• Lower edge protection: polycarbonate (PC) outer shell covers the lower edge of the helmet and protects against scratches, impacts and signs of wear and tear
• Ponytail Fit: thanks to the opening in the height-adjustable adjustment system, the helmet is also suitable for long hairstyles such as ponytails, buns, or braids
• Front Eyewear Port: defined recess on the front of the helmet to position glasses in a secure and aerodynamic holding position while riding
• Acti Cage™: allows larger ventilation openings combined with high stability thanks to foamed-in structural reinforcement
• Reflector Sticker: for better visibility in the dark
• Forced Air Cooling: the ventilation openings are connected to each other via channels on the inside to guide incoming air through the helmet and thus ensure maximum air circulation and a pleasant 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 with a USB-C charging cable
• Zoom™ Spin adjustment system: rotary wheel at the back of the head for individual adjustment of the helmet to the head size
• Flow Straps™: aerodynamic straps for low flow resistance, less noise and high wear comfort
• Floating Pad: padding on the inside of the helmet, which is clicked into place via several attachment points, making it more flexible and offering better ventilation and greater wear comfort
• Removable, washable pads: can be removed and washed by hand or replaced if necessary
• Push-in buckle: for safe and practical handling, the straps are fitted with a classic chin lock (three-pronged connection) for opening and closing
• In-mould 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
