Product Description

The Taipan combines the advantages of ABUS road helmets with the versatile requirements of the gravel lifestyle. With this "Made in Italy" gravel helmet, you can ride where the tarmac ends – and the adventure begins.   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.   Features 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. | Merlin Cycles are one of the longest running online bike stores in the UK.
