With the Targon, Abus offers a helmet for anyone who doesn’t want to choose between touring, the bike park, and a post-work ride. It’s a full-face helmet designed for rough terrain, but without the chin guard, it becomes a stylish open-face helmet perfect for long climbs and leisurely rides. The Fidlock closure keeps it securely on your head, and the 15 ventilation openings keep it cool. The Targon Mips is even approved for downhill riding.

When Dan Milner, a legendary outdoor photographer, presents his next project, a bike adventure in India, and makes it appealing, you shouldn't think twice about joining in. German mountain biker Steffi Marth was also immediately keen to accompany Dan and Indian mountain biker Vinay Menon on a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

When you hear Abus, the first thing that comes to mind is curtain and bicycle locks, but the German security experts have also had bike helmets in their range for some time. The Cliffhanger is the top model in their off-road segment.

The Abus Gravity category is growing with two completely new models for children. Thanks to more and more pump tracks and child-friendly areas in bike parks, the youngsters who are doing lap after lap there are getting younger and younger. Despite all the fun, the right equipment is essential and the helmet is at least as important as the right bike.

Abus not only ensures safety with helmets and locks: the lock specialist now supplies faceguards that protect the eyes, mouth and nose from droplets, bacteria, particles and dust. The face protection is washable, disinfectable and recyclable and the holder frame is adjustable.

It's especially important to keep a cool head in these summer temperatures. We therefore grabbed the Aventor helmet from Abus and did a few quick laps in the heat. The test under the blazing sun quickly showed whether the helmet with all its ventilation slots lived up to our expectations or not.
