About this deal

If you're keen on co-ordination, the StormChaser is available in nine different combinations of colours too. ActiCage Lite: A structural reinforcement integrated into the EPS of many sports helmets. It provides maximum protection while ensuring optimal ventilation and extreme comfort. Abus says that the Multi Speed tech is designed to encourage smooth airflow while allowing heat to escape, although it doesn't provide any aero data to support its claim. The AirBreaker is quite low profile and definitely offers a high level of ventilation but if aerodynamics is your number one priority you'd almost certainly be better off reaching for the GameChanger. So Abus took the general shape of their aero road GameChanger helmet and started whittling away material to get more air inside. Many riders already say the GameChanger works well in hot weather as it has pretty good airflow through, plus your head is protected from the sun.

Features we liked about the ABUS Gamechanger and Airbreaker 1. A new place to put your sunglasses – The Air Port Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed Safety comes courtesy of something Abus calls ActiCage, which is a structural reinforcement integrated into the EPS of the helmet. Unfortunately, this doesn't follow the industry trend of offering greater rotational impact protection to mitigate concussion in the event of a crash. Riding experience Ironproject2019: A Group Of Uni Students Are Celebrating Graduation By Racing The IRONMAN For A Cause - July 25, 2019Thanks to the honeycomb structure of the innovative Multi Speed design, the AirBreaker always offers the best possible aerodynamics and at the same time ensures optimum ventilation. Because the Multi-Speed Design doses the ventilation as it is needed: maximum ventilation for slow, hilly stages, and optimum aerodynamics for fast, flat stages. I always fumble with them and get annoyed when the left and right sides are uneven – I, for one, won’t be able to appreciate the added complexity of the helmet. The ABUS helmet straps do the job, and they fit snuggly right beneath the ear lopes even without adjustability. Now, I know everyone claims their helmet has some fancy venting tech or some kind of trans-warp speed engine to speed up airflow and venting but, this is the first helmet I’ve worn while climbing in 25-degree heat that I’ve actually thought 'I can feel the air blowing through my helmet' - in this regard, it's one of the best road bike helmets I've tested.

That structure also means that the one-piece pad does not need to be velcro-ed to the helmet shell. Instead it is attached only at the sides on both temples, and at the top of the head inside the middle ventilation channel. That resulted in no pressure point anywhere across my forehead, and also almost no indentation in my skin, even when cinching the retention down snugly for multi-hour rides. If you are involved in a crash, your head may receive a glancing blow rather than a straight-on impact. This type of accident can cause injury to the brain as it moves within the skull, which modelling suggests would rotate along with the helmet shell. The AirBreaker from ABUS is a helmet that effortlessly meets the highest demands of professional cycling. The helmet of choice for team Movistar, the Abus Airbreaker Road Helmet is lightweight with great ventilation.

As the material is introduced into the mould, the internal shape is slid into position (almost the reverse of traditional EPS foam manufacturing). Having the external shape as the constant, and manipulating the internal shape, reduces the amount of material needed and increases channel depth. There’s not much to gain by having an aero helmet design if the straps are flapping around and generating air resistance. Overall, I’m seriously impressed with the Airbreaker. It oozes quality in both construction and design, and the fit is superb, as is the adjustment. The advantage of MIPS is debatable – and often contentious – but if there’s even the slightest chance of a beneficial effect I’d rather have it than not, though. Lightness in helmets is a weird thing though: the difference between this super-light pro-level lid and a mid-level such as Giro’s Foray (265g) is about the weight of a tennis ball, which is pretty much moot.

Having received the helmet for testing in balmy British December, I didn’t get to test the ventilation claims until a trip to Spain in February. It was most definitely hat and buff season at home.At just 230 grams in weight and with airflow and aerodynamics perfectly balanced, the Airbreaker Road Helmet brings winning performance to your ride. Effective video surveillance is based on meaningful image data. Camera images are thus not only recorded for later analysis, but also directly derive actions. One other feature that's worth a mention is stowage for your eyewear. I tried out half a dozen pairs of glasses with this helmet and they all fitted securely in the ports. No worries at all there. But the new AirBreaker opens the front up event more for increase airflow, in what Abus calls ‘forced air cooling’ that pushes air through the helmet’s internal channels.

World champion Valverde is going for quality with this Abus Airbreaker, which is reflected in its price tag. From cruising around town at the weekend to pedaling to work Monday–Friday, riding a good bike transforms travel time into quality time seven days a week The Airbreaker Road Helmet has been created for road cyclists who want smooth aerodynamics but don’t want to compromise on keeping cool. This performance balance is made possible by Abus’ Multi Speed design, offering the best possible aerodynamics and at the same time ensuring optimum ventilation. The straps have a neat seam sewn to one edge to reduce flapping and wind noise. I found the helmet to be impressively quiet and, even while descending at over 40mph, there was very little in the way of wind noise. When the glasses were placed at the rear of the helmet, I wasn’t able to feel the legs of the sunglasses. This feature was a considerable improvement from the helmets I had in the past, where it felt annoying to have the legs of my sunglasses poking at my head.A lightweight helmet should make up for the difference in performance with the comfort afforded by the improved airflow, and the Airbreaker is an absolute master at that.
