FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Aero Blade™?

The Aero Blade™ is positioned at the upper rear of the helmet to improve airflow and significantly reduce air resistance, contributing to higher speeds and increased aerodynamic efficiency.

How does the Acti Cage™ structure enhance safety?

The Acti Cage™ is an integrated structure with carbon reinforcement that provides additional strength and stability to the helmet, allowing for wider ventilation channels without compromising overall protection.

Is this helmet suitable for very hot weather cycling?

Yes, the AirBreaker 2.0 is specifically designed for intense racing in hot conditions, featuring enlarged and strategically placed vents for maximum cooling and efficient ventilation at all speeds.

Can I wear this helmet with long hair?

Yes, the helmet features a ponytail opening that provides room for long hair, ensuring a comfortable fit even on long rides.

How do I clean the helmet's padding?

The helmet padding is removable and washable. It is recommended to hand wash it with mild soap and water and allow it to air dry completely.

What does MIPS stand for and what does it do?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. The MIPS padding integrated into the helmet is designed to effectively protect the head in the event of an angled fall or impact.

Is the helmet very heavy?

No, the Abus AirBreaker 2.0 is engineered for minimal weight, making it exceptionally light for elite racing performance.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the Zoom Spin system dial at the rear of the helmet for a more precise fit. Ensure the straps are also adjusted correctly.

Chin strap closure is difficult to use.

Ensure the Fidlock magnetic closure is aligned correctly before attempting to connect. Clean the magnetic surfaces if they appear dirty.

Poor ventilation despite open vents.

Ensure there are no obstructions in the ventilation channels. The helmet's design is optimized for airflow; check that hair is not impeding it, especially if not using the ponytail port.

Sunglasses do not fit securely in the attachment.

Ensure the temple arms of the sunglasses are properly inserted into the rubber grips of the eyewear attachment. The fit may vary depending on the sunglasses' frame design.
