The ABUS Urban-I 4.0 helmet is a testament to the brand’s commitment to urban cycling safety and style. Designed with the modern commuter in mind, it seamlessly blends functionality with contemporary aesthetics.
Enhanced Visibility with Integrated Rear Light
A standout feature of the Urban-I 4.0 is its integrated, magnetic, and rechargeable rear light. This sleek light strip offers 180-degree visibility, ensuring cyclists are seen from all angles, especially during low-light conditions. The light provides multiple modes, including steady and flashing, catering to various riding scenarios. Notably, the ACE version offers additional modes like Power and Pulse, enhancing adaptability. With a runtime of up to 22 hours in flash mode and a quick USB-C charging time of approximately one hour, the rear light is both practical and efficient. (abus.com)
Optimised Fit and Comfort
The helmet features the second generation of ABUS’s Zoom™ Spin adjustment system. This system boasts a minimalist design, smoother operation, and a ‘Ponytail Fit’ that accommodates long hairstyles without compromising comfort. The magnetic FIDLOCK closure ensures a secure fit while allowing for easy one-handed operation, even when wearing gloves. Additional comfort features include washable comfort pads and an insect protection net, which keeps unwanted pests at bay without hindering ventilation. (abus.com)
Durability and Safety
Constructed using the in-mold process, the Urban-I 4.0 helmet integrates the polycarbonate outer shell with the shock-absorbing EPS material, enhancing durability. The ACE version includes a second shell that covers the lower edge, protecting against scratches and impacts. With 16 ventilation openings, the helmet ensures optimal airflow, keeping the rider cool during commutes. A removable sun visor offers protection against sunlight, adding to the helmet’s versatility.
