Design

In-Mold Construction

The Abus CliffHanger MIPS helmet uses an In-Mold manufacturing process. The inner EPS foam is directly injected into the outer polycarbonate shell, resulting in a durable, robust, and lightweight structure.

Outer shell made of polycarbonate

The outer polycarbonate shell protects the helmet structure from impacts, scratches and wear and tear from regular mountain biking use.

Lower edge protection

The outer shell also covers the lower edge of the helmet. This additional protection limits wear and tear, scratches, and minor impacts on the most exposed areas.

Lightweight and stable structure

The inner EPS foam shell is integrated into a three-part outer shell. This design combines stability, lightness, and protection on demanding trails.

Half retaining ring

The retention system is based on a half-ring which allows for a comfortable and stable fit around the head.

Protection

MIPS technology

This version of the CliffHanger is equipped with the MIPS system, a thin layer located between the inner padding and the helmet shell. It is designed to help reduce rotational forces that can be transmitted to the head in the event of an oblique impact.

Protection against multidirectional impacts

The MIPS multidirectional impact protection system can reduce the energy transmitted in the event of an oblique impact. It provides added safety for riders on fast, technical, or challenging terrain.

Trail and enduro helmet

The CliffHanger MIPS is designed for demanding trails, fast descents, steep climbs, and challenging mountain bike rides. It offers reliable protection for trail, all-mountain, and enduro riding.

Secure positioning on technical terrain

The mountain bike-specific adjustment system helps the helmet stay comfortably and securely in place when the terrain becomes rough, especially in rocky areas, fast sections or more challenging passages.

Height-adjustable visor

The visor can be adjusted using several click-in positions. It protects against low branches, debris, and sunlight depending on the chosen position.

FIDLOCK magnetic closure

The FIDLOCK magnetic chin strap allows the helmet to be opened and closed easily with one hand, even with gloves.

Comfort

Zoom Spin adjustment system

The Zoom Spin dial located at the back of the head allows for precise adjustment of the helmet to the head circumference. This system facilitates individual adjustment for a comfortable and secure fit.

TriVider Strap Separator

The TriVider system is a flat strap separator that keeps the straps in a fixed position. It limits unintentional adjustments and improves comfort around the ears.

Compatible with ponytails

Thanks to its height adjustment system, the helmet is also suitable for long hairstyles such as ponytails, buns or braids.

Comfort padding

The comfort cushions are soft and pleasant against the head. They are attached with Velcro inside the helmet so they can be easily removed.

Removable and washable padding

The padding can be removed and hand-washed. It can also be replaced if necessary to maintain a good level of hygiene and comfort over time.

Ventilation

Good ventilation on the trails

The CliffHanger MIPS is designed to combine protection and ventilation for demanding outings. Its ventilation openings contribute to comfort during climbs, prolonged efforts, and outings in hot weather.

High-speed comfort

The helmet's design allows for good airflow while maintaining a stable structure, suitable for high speeds and demanding trails.
