ABUS AirBreaker Racing Bike Helmet - High-End Bike Helmet for Professional Cycling - Unisex, for Men and Women

Product Information

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.

Abus tells us that the Airbreaker is based on tech learned from its aero-special GameChanger, and while there are similarities in the exhaust ports on the rear of the helmets, the main similarity I can see is the volume. Features we liked about the ABUS Gamechanger and Airbreaker 1. A new place to put your sunglasses – The Air Port Peter is a fastidious mechanic and will not settle for anything less than perfect when it comes to bike setup, whether it be a child first bike or a highly integrated top-tier time trial or road bike.But the new AirBreaker opens the front up event more for increase airflow, in what Abus calls ‘forced air cooling’ that pushes air through the helmet’s internal channels. 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!

The cycling helmet market is a crowded space and there’s no shortage of other options out there. Both Abus and Lazer have cheaper alternatives to the Airbreaker and Genesis that offer just as much protection with a bit of extra weight and a slightly less top end finish. The straps are now made from a lighter, softer material and ribbing on the leading edge makes it easier to put on and take off your glasses without interfering with the straps. Lightness in helmets is a weird thing though: the difference between this super-light pro-level lid and a mid-level such as Giro’s Foray (265g) is about the weight of a tennis ball, which is pretty much moot. That honeycomb structure on the top of the helmet is claimed to deliver smooth airflow while also offering the chance for more evaporative cooling. I’ve seen (& ridden) a number of helmets that you are supposed to squirt your water bottle into to cool you down. But I am usually already sweating enough to have no need to really make my head any wetter. But playing with the AirBreaker’s honeycombs, it is clear that the plastic pattern actually holds the water on the outside shell of the helmet (thanks to surface tension), so it will cool your head, without making it wetter. I have only played with it a bit in warm spring conditions, where it is hard to notice the effect. But I am genuinely looking forward to breaking out the water bottle on super hot summer rides to give it a further test. Bad air? Ventilate in time with the AirSecure! Our CO2 detector AirSecure reliably indicates the indoor air quality: In this way, you prevent headaches, malaise and an increased risk of infection. Practical for offices and schools.
