Abus GAMECHANGER 2.0 Aero Road Helmet : All-In Purple

Season:2027

Brand:ABUS

Code:A-GC2-AIP

The GameChanger 2.0 is the aero helmet in ABUS's road range, and at 265 grams in a medium it is heavier than their climbing helmet by about the weight of a gel. What you get for that marginal penalty is a shell shaped in a wind tunnel to do a specific job at speed.

The bulk of that work happens at the back. The rear of the helmet is wider than you might expect, which is what reduces air resistance, and sitting on top of it is the AeroBlade: a component with a grid structure that optimises the airflow across different speeds, side angles and helmet inclinations. That last part matters more than the headline figures. A helmet only has to work in a tunnel at one yaw angle to look good on paper, whereas a rider in a bunch is constantly turning their head, dropping it on a climb and lifting it out of the saddle. The wider Kamm tail has an eleven per cent longer virtual aero profile, with the tail tilted a further eight degrees for a head in a race position.

Ventilation on an aero helmet is the harder solve, because every opening you cut is a hole in the shape. ABUS address it with the AirBoost inlet at the front, which draws air in, and Forced Air Cooling behind it, where the openings are joined by channels on the inside so the air is guided through the helmet and over your scalp rather than running across the outside of the shell. Their figures are up to thirty-two per cent more air over the forehead and twenty per cent more flow out of the enlarged rear outlets. Both are ABUS's own numbers.

Holding all of that together is the ActiCage, a structural reinforcement foamed into the EPS. Its only job is to keep the shell stable with ventilation openings in it that would otherwise leave it flexing, and it is the reason a helmet with this much cut out of it still feels solid when you pick it up.

Fit comes from Zoom Spin, which is a patented rotary dial at the back of the helmet, on a cradle that adjusts for height as well as circumference. The Floating Pad clicks into several points inside the shell instead of lying flat against it, leaving space for air to move behind the padding - helping to keep you dry.

Flow Straps Pro are stitched rather than threaded through dividers, so they sit flat and do not flap at speed, and the upper section of each strap is thinner where it crosses your face. A traditional three-pronged push-in buckle closes it, the pads come out for washing, and a cut-out in the cradle takes a ponytail.

There are eyewear ports at the front and the rear, which is worth knowing if you ride with glasses. You can stow them nose-forward in the front recess or arms-in at the back, whichever you have got used to.

Underneath is an in-mould shell, with the EPS liner foamed directly into a polycarbonate outer rather than glued to it, and the polycarbonate wraps the lower edge where helmets actually get scuffed. It is made in Italy.

If you want the same helmet with a rotational-impact layer, check out the GameChanger 2.0 MIPS.
