Abus MoTrip midnight blue

The ABUS MoTrip midnight blue is the mountain bike helmet for riders starting out off-road: light, well ventilated and comfortable, without the price or weight of a racing helmet. 340 g in size M, for a head circumference of 54 to 58 cm.

Its deep fit sits low on the head — the visible difference from a city helmet, and what protects the back of the skull better once the ground turns uneven.

The peak is height-adjustable through locking positions: raise it against low branches, lower it against the sun. Fit is set with the Zoom™ Spin dial, itself height-adjustable — handy for making room for a ponytail. Flap Divider™ strap divider with a clamp below the ears, three-pronged push-in buckle, Velcro Comfort Pads, removable and washable.

In-mould shell (EPS foam expanded into the polycarbonate shell), half head ring, reflector sticker. It also works perfectly well for commuting. Worth knowing: this model has no Mips — for that, choose the MoTrip MIPS.
