Abus Taipan Velvet Black Gravel Helmet

The Abus Taipan velvet black helmet is the perfect companion for gravel and escape enthusiasts. Designed and manufactured in Italy, it combines the benefits of a road helmet with the versatility of the gravel lifestyle. Whether it's sporty performance, long-lasting comfort, or off-road exploration, the Taipan offers everything you need to fully experience every ride. Lightweight, well-ventilated, compatible with a rear light, and designed for optimal fit, it blends into any two-wheeled adventure.

Freedom and versatility

The Taipan goes where the asphalt ends. Whether it's a sunrise on the trails or an impromptu after-work outing, it offers great freedom of movement thanks to its removable and washable padding, integrated glasses holder, and compatibility with an optional magnetic taillight. Its discreet look and organic lines blend perfectly into the gravel world.

Long-lasting ventilation and comfort

With 18 air vents and an ingenious cooling airflow system, the Taipan ensures excellent air circulation around the head. Its floating padding attaches at several points to improve ventilation while conforming to the shape of the skull. Thanks to the Zoom™ Spin adjustment system, it adjusts precisely to the circumference of the head for a perfect fit, even on difficult terrain.

Performance and lightness

Ultra-lightweight (255 to 295 g depending on size), the Taipan uses In-Mold technology to ensure robustness and optimal shock absorption. The aerodynamic Flow Straps™ reduce air resistance while limiting unwanted noise. The helmet remains stable and comfortable, even during the most intense efforts.

Suitable for all heads

The Taipan is designed to suit all hairstyles. It features a specific clearance for ponytails, buns, or braids. It adapts to both male and female body shapes, with three sizes available. The reflective sticker on the back improves visibility, and the option of a rechargeable magnetic taillight (sold separately) enhances safety on the road or trail.
