The Abus AirBreaker 2.0 MIPS is a top-tier road cycling helmet for adult cyclists seeking maximum performance and safety. Its key benefit is the combination of ultra-lightweight construction, advanced aerodynamics, and optimized ventilation for speed and comfort.

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety technology designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts. It works by allowing a slip layer inside the helmet to move independently of the head, absorbing some of the energy that could otherwise be transferred.
Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by Abus to select the appropriate helmet size (e.g., S, M, L).
Yes, you can wear a thin cycling cap or skullcap. However, ensure it does not interfere with the helmet's fit or the effectiveness of the MIPS system. A poor fit can compromise safety.
Helmets typically have a lifespan of 3-5 years from the date of manufacture, or sooner if it has been involved in an impact. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.
The Abus AirBreaker 2.0 MIPS is specifically designed for road cycling. While it offers excellent protection, its design prioritizes aerodynamics and ventilation for road use. For mountain biking, a helmet with more coverage and potentially different features might be more appropriate.
The internal padding is often removable. Check the manual for specific instructions. Generally, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
Re-adjust the retention system using the smooth adjustment dial. Ensure the helmet is sitting level on your head, not tilted too far forward or back. Consult the manual for specific fitting guidelines.
Adjust the Y-splitters below the ears to ensure they lie flat against the head. Re-adjust the chin strap for a snug, but not overly tight, fit.
Ensure the air vents are not obstructed by hair or accessories. For optimal cooling, maintain a consistent riding pace that allows for airflow through the vents.
Check that all adjustment points are secured and that there are no loose parts. Ensure the helmet is properly fitted and not shifting during motion.
