Escapa presents the Abus Taipan Helmet, designed for Gravel riding thanks to its goggle mount, light mount, and washable padding.
With its lightweight design, aerodynamic straps, 18 ventilation openings, and an ingenious air-cooling system inside the helmet, the Taipan is your ally for peak performance in situations that make you sweat.
Thanks to the helmet’s slightly wider interior shape—which allows room for thicker padding—and the customizable adjustment system with a braided strap, the helmet fits like a second skin.
Technologies:
Lower Edge Protection: The polycarbonate (PC) outer shell covers the lower edge of the helmet and protects against scratches, impacts, and signs of wear
Ponytail opening: Thanks to the slit in the height adjustment system, the helmet is also suitable for long hairstyles such as ponytails, buns, or braids
Front goggle holder: a recessed area on the front of the helmet to secure goggles in a safe and aerodynamic position while riding
Acti Cage™: allows for larger ventilation openings with excellent stability thanks to the foam structural reinforcement
Reflective sticker: for better visibility in the dark
Cooling airflow system: The ventilation openings are interconnected via internal channels to direct incoming air through the helmet, ensuring maximum airflow and a comfortable temperature around the head
Rechargeable, magnetic tail light (optional): This separately available light improves visibility, attaches to the back of the helmet via magnets, and can be charged with a USB-C charging cable
Zoom™ Spin adjustment system: a rotary dial at the back of the head for customizing the helmet’s fit to the shape of the head
Flow Straps™: aerodynamic straps for low airflow resistance, less noise, and great comfort
Floating Padding: padding inside the helmet that is secured via multiple attachment points, making it more flexible and offering better ventilation and greater comfort
Removable and washable padding: can be removed and hand-washed or replaced as needed
Snap closure: For secure and convenient use, the straps are equipped with a classic buckle (three-point connection) for opening and closing
In-Mold process: a manufacturing process in which the inner expanded polystyrene (EPS) cushioning material is foamed directly into the outer polycarbonate (PC) shell, creating a durable and robust bond
