Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

Abus Taipan LED in Velvet Black

Season:All Year Round

Brand:Abus

Code:AB-1004464VB

The Abus Taipan LED is designed for gravel cycling, offering a sense of freedom and flexibility for every ride. Whether tackling sunrise sessions or after-work training, this helmet provides the versatility needed for various cycling adventures.

Engineered for performance, the Taipan features 18 ventilation openings and a clever air cooling system to maintain a comfortable head climate during intense efforts. The aerodynamic design is complemented by flow straps that reduce resistance and noise, while the in-mould construction ensures a durable and robust connection between the outer shell and inner cushioning.

Comfort and Fit

Designed to feel like a second skin, the helmet includes a widened inner shape with space for thicker padding. The adjustment system is individually adaptable and features a ponytail fit, making it suitable for long hairstyles. The floating pad system, which clicks into place via several attachment points, offers enhanced ventilation and wear comfort.

  • Lower edge protection: Polycarbonate outer shell covers the lower edge to protect against scratches and impacts.
  • Front Eyewear Port: Defined recess on the front to position glasses securely while riding.
  • Acti Cage: Structural reinforcement allows for larger ventilation openings without compromising stability.
  • Rechargeable magnetic Rear Light: Features four light modes and is charged via USB-C, with an IP44 rating for splash water protection.
