Reviews over the

Abus AirBreaker

Featherweight helmet with sublime fit and ventilation.

Pros & Cons

Perfect, I had an accident with another helmet just like this one, and it saved my life.

Very satisfied with this helmet, only regret after wearing it three times it is already damaged by a fall.

Pros & Cons

Very light helmet, goes great with the mountains!

The Abus Airbreaker is a very pleasant helmet for cycling. The helmet is very light and has a good fit so you hardly feel it while cycling. In hot weather, the extra ventilation holes are also very pleasant to keep the head a bit cooler. Finally, I also think the helmet looks very nice (you don't have a mushroom head like with other helmets). So all in all, a top helmet that is definitely worth its money!

Pros & Cons

Fully meets my needs

This is the best & finest helmet I have ever owned. I use it with road biking & mountain biking in summer & winter. Lightweight, fits nicely (my head doesn't mushroom) and does its job. I broke my previous one and immediately ordered the same one again. Not a moment's hesitation.

Pros & Cons

My other helmet is a Kask Protone and I’d say that this is on par with that for safety, style and air flow. I love the flip flop colour which changes between blue and purple depending on the viewing angle. Would def recommend.

Pros & Cons

Top helmet, the best in my collection

Pros & Cons

Great road cycling helmet. Has a real quality feel to it. Good venting for those hot UK summer days

Pros & Cons

It was a gift and meets 100% the expectations of the person who received it.

Pros & Cons

I had never used a helmet thinking about the uncomfortableness but I had to try this one to change my mind.

Pros & Cons

The helmet is spectacular, very comfortable and light, you hardly notice you are wearing it.

Pros & Cons

Lightweight, comfortable and looks great

Pros & Cons

Apart from a certain bright purple Specialized (I think) helmet that resembled a bunch of bananas back in the 90’s I’ve only ever had Giro helmets. For me, Giro helmets were the perfect blend of form, function and most importantly, fit. Having a fairly large noggin I found that a lot of brands came up short in one or two areas so was reluctant to change. After reading a review or two regarding the fit being similar to that of the Giro (ie more oval than round) I took a gamble and ordered the Abus Airbreaker. Luckily for me Mantel had it on offer which meant I could get it shipped to the UK under the threshold imposed after the brexit catastrophe. Within a few days the helmet arrived and thankfully the fit was spot on. The adjustability is great meaning a perfect fit could be obtained. This helmet is also light. You can easily forget you’re wearing it after a few minutes. It is also really well ventilated - probably the airiest helmet I’ve ever worn - a few rides in the current UK autumnal weather had me reaching for a headband as the windchill was noticeable. Should be an excellent lid for the summer! Overall I’m impressed and would recommend this helmet. Some would argue that the lack of MIPS or similar is a deal breaker but I prefer the more stable fit of a non-MIPS helmet and the optimal ventilation as the result of having no liner to block the airflow

Pros & Cons

Very nice and comfortable helmet. Highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

Helmet is easy and very comfortable to use.

Pros & Cons

Great helmet best i have ever had

Pros & Cons

Good product

Pros & Cons

Well-made helmet, fits perfectly. Aesthetically very nice but above all it is very light!

Pros & Cons

I bought the Abus Airbreaker Small as it’s a good fit for my head. Other brands size small are too snug.

Pros & Cons

The helmet is light so you don't feel you have a helmet on. The ventilation holes provide sufficient refreshment. Despite the price, very satisfied with this helmet.

Pros & Cons

It is more than what I expected, in my opinion there is nothing negative about it.

Pros & Cons

The perfect helmet for my small head. Fits nicely and doesn't look big, which most 'small-size helmets' do. So light that you almost don't mind wearing a helmet. And airy! That's perhaps the biggest plus! Ready for summer!

Pros & Cons

Lovely helmet

Pros & Cons

Early days, so far it seems like a good purchase.

Pros & Cons

This is a very lightweight helmet with a lot of ventilation. I'm riding in a hot country so it helps a lot to keep my head cool during rides. This is the lightest helmet I have by far. On the label, for size M (52-58 cm head circumference) it says the weight is 220g. On my kitchen scale however, it's 197g. While riding I feel like I'm not wearing any helmet at all. It's that light! I'm very happy with this helmet and I can see myself using this for a long time. The only downside is the price, quite hefty for a helmet without MIPS. I guess the absence of MIPS is what keeping it light Oh, another thing, it looks pretty sharp! That is important too :D

Pros & Cons

Perfect helmet for winter and hopefully summer too! Aero and great looking!

A great helmet from Abus l have a large head ( I’m a bighead ) and the large size fits perfectly.I like the fact that it does not look big on, not a mushroom. The only thing I have found is the padding is very thin, other than that it’s great, it’s cool great airflow,it’s light very and looks good even in white,great product.

Pros & Cons

Replacement for my Giro IONOS helmet, Better Airflow & considerably lighter, Unfortunately the small retaining clip that holds the internal pads fell of & now the padding isn't secure?? but it is a easily replaceable clip.. Apart from the clip issue, I would highly recommend this Helmet especially from Mantel.com with its unmatchable price Weight: 5 Stars Comfort: 5 Stars Looks: 5 Stars Cooling: 5 Stars Durability: 4.5 Stars

Pros & Cons

Love this helmet. I have an Abus Gamechanger also and much prefer them to Kask which I had before. The Airbreaker is light and airy and you don’t know you are wearing it.

Pros & Cons

Have loved this helmet ever since I first saw one and thought that’s the one for me , ordered from mantel and it came quickly and it’ looks and fits great !
