About this deal

As someone who struggles with my head being hot whenever I put in hard efforts riding in the spring, summer & fall, most aero helmets get relegated to cold weather use for me. But this helmet was developed specifically with Abus’ sponsored Movistar riders for hot summer road racing where they didn’t want to leave any potential aero gains on the table. EN1078 IMPORTANT NOTE This helmet has been built, tested and approved according to the European regulations ECE/ONU R22.05. TRADEINN is not responsible for the use that may be made of this helmet in other countries that are not subject to this European homologation ECE/ONU R22.05, discouraging the use of this in those countries.

This is the best helmet I have ever had. Light and very comfortable. The only downside could be the straps, for me they are comfortable and their advantages are that they can be easily disassembled to be washed. In other helmets this cannot be done. Pads without chests and floats making the effect similar to MIPS. It is very ventilated and on hot days it shows. Unfortunately I have already had to test its resistance and it has saved me. It has absorbed the impact without breaking, just deformed. I will buy it again. Unusually, you can entirely remove the straps from the helmet to hand wash them; you just twist the little metal anchor rods out of their plastic housings. That's handy if you want to soak the straps in soapy water after a really sweaty ride. The Abus AirBreaker is a great helmet for road bikers that value high performance and have high demands. The helmet excels in aerodynamics, comfort, ventilation and safety. It’s for good reason that Valverde became world champion with this helmet! IN-MOLD: Lightweight and stable helmet design, thanks to the durable connection of EPS and PC shell The Airbreaker, like most helmets, has both vertical and lateral internal adjustments and has an ample ponytail hole, more accommodating than many other helmets.

The MIPS technology has been nicely integrated, and the safety benefit of that – which no one hopes to ever have to test – puts you in the best position possible if you do have a spill. The Manta MIPS costs a fair amount of money, but in exchange you get a very accomplished helmet well-attuned to fast riding and racing.”

FlowStraps: Aerodynamic, flutter-free and skin-friendly thanks to specially developed strap profile The Abus Airbreaker is a premium helmet that lives up to its own hype – and its hefty pricetag. It’s lightweight – up there with some of the lightest helmets around – and cuts a low, seemingly aerodynamic profile. The minimal padding takes some getting used to but works well, while the Forced Air Cooling ports provide decent ventilation. The only point where the Airbreaker slightly missed the mark was in the adjustment for the straps, though this is only noticeable on initial setup. The Airbreaker would make a good racy helmet for those who want top-tier performance and can afford the premium asking price. Price The AirBreaker's overall shape is the same as that of Abus's GameChanger aero lid that Liam reviewed here on road.cc and liked very much. Aero helmets tend to be heavier than most others and ventilation is usually compromised, hence the introduction of the AirBreaker. Our medium sized test model hit the scales at just 214g and it has a similar level of ventilation to the Abus Aventor that we reviewed last year.

As for aerodynamics and ventilation, Abus says it has rolled the two into one with its Multi Speed design, which can supposedly regulate the ventilation as needed. The system uses a honeycomb pattern on the top of the helmet, which Abus says provides maximum ventilation for slow, hilly riding and reduced ventilation for flat, fast conditions. Honor Elliott It started with simple plastic shells to cover the vents for situations like a finishing sprint where every fraction of a second counts, followed by helmets with fewer vents and smooth outer shells. Not having a wind tunnel, we can’t verify the aero claims, but this crop of cycling helmets does have the advantage of being warmer in winter.
