The ABUS Urban-I 4.0 ACE helmet represents the 4.0 generation of this popular design, developed to offer optimal comfort, protection, and style. The ACE version includes a magnetic, rechargeable rear light with additional functions, making it suitable for daily commutes, relaxed rides, or general cycling.
Visibility and Lighting
The magnetic, rechargeable rear light provides 180-degree visibility, particularly useful in the dark, at dusk, or in bad weather. The ACE version allows users to select between Power, Pulse, Steady, and Flash light modes. Two batteries ensure longer operating times, while powerful LEDs and a diffuser provide harmonious light distribution without dazzling other road users. The light is attached to the back of the helmet using magnets and can be charged via a USB-C cable.
Fit and Comfort
The second generation of the Zoom™ Spin adjustment system ensures easy and precise customisation. The design is minimalist, the adjustment wheel operates smoothly, and the Ponytail Fit provides space for long hairstyles such as buns, braids, or ponytails. The flat Trivider™ strap divider with fixed positioning further enhances the premium look and prevents unintentional adjustment.
Comfort features include 16 ventilation openings for optimal airflow and an integrated insect protection net. The washable comfort pads are durable and hygienic, attached with Velcro for easy removal.
Construction and Features
The helmet is manufactured using an in-mould process, where the inner EPS cushioning material is foamed directly into the polycarbonate outer shell for a durable and robust connection. The lower edge protection covers the base of the helmet to protect against scratches, impacts, and signs of wear. A magnetic FIDLOCK fastener allows the chin strap to be opened and closed reliably with one hand, even when wearing gloves. Additional features include a removable clip-on peak, reflector stickers for increased visibility, and an IP44 protection rating against solid foreign bodies and splash water.
