I have received this helmet today, the white one. Tried it on, veeeery nice. Looks amazing, fits well, is lightweight. Moments after putting it on, the spirit of Abuelito El Bala Valverde appeared and summoned me to go on a ride to test it out properly. I had to oblige. The moment I got on the bike I felt different, much more powerful than before. I instantly went straight to my local 15% slope which I crested at 45km/h, taking 17 KOMs in the process. Rainbow bands also appeared on the ends of my sleeves, which was a bit embarrassing, so I went straight home after that. I’m not saying this will happen to anyone who purchases this helmet, but you too could be visited by the spirit of El Bala so I’d say that alone is worth a shot.
Product Details
Abus Airbreaker Road Cycling Helmet
The Abus Airbreaker Road Helmet is a premium offering that delivers top levels of impact protection and feels barely noticeable to the wearer. An In-Mold construction connects the outer shell with shock-absorbing EPS foam, keeping the weight of the helmet down in the process. Top-level ventilation is delivered through the clever vent design, with 11 inlets channelling air across the head, exiting through three outlets to the back.
The fit system can be finely tuned using the Zoom Ace wheel, while premium FlowStraps feel great against your skin. Pop your glasses in the AirPort holder, and if you have longer hair, Abus has catered for you by providing an aperture perfect for a ponytail.

I've had one of these for 18months, fell of my bike and hit the helmet hard on the road. I could actually feel it cushioning the blow, not even a bruise on my head. So I bought another as soon as I got home.
