Taipan LED Cycle Helmet

Abus Taipan Cycle Helmet - LED Light

Gravel is all about exploring beyond the tarmac, and the Abus Taipan Helmet, with detachable LED light, is built to support that spirit of escape. Whether you're rolling out for a sunrise spin or grabbing a spontaneous after-work ride, this helmet keeps you prepared for anything. The Front Eyewear Port offers a secure spot for your glasses, while the magnetic, USB-C rechargeable Rear Light boosts visibility with four modes — Steady, Power, Pulse and Flash. Add in the washable, Floating Pad system, and you get consistent comfort, however wild the adventure becomes.

Performance for Every Challenge

If your gravel rides are more “go hard” than “take it easy”, the Taipan has the tech to help you push further. Its low weight, aerodynamic Flow Straps™, and 18 optimised ventilation openings keep airflow high and resistance low. Inside, the Forced Air Cooling channels guide fresh air through the helmet for maximum temperature control. Meanwhile, the Acti Cage™ structural reinforcement lets ABUS create generous vents without compromising strength—perfect for steep climbs, interval training or chomping for that podium spot.

Comfort That Feels Like Freedom

For those long endurance rides, fit matters more than anything. The Taipan's subtly widened internal shape gives space for thicker padding, while the Zoom™ Spin adjustment system provides precise, customisable tuning with a simple rear dial. Thanks to Ponytail Fit, riders with long hair, ponytails, braids, and buns can enjoy a secure, pressure-free fit. The in-mould construction with robust polycarbonate lower edge protection ensures durability against knocks, scrapes and wear, ensuring protection all-around.
