ABUS TimeShifter Helmet

Save time where every second counts

Designed for the most demanding triathletes and time trial specialists, the new ABUS TimeShifter pushes the boundaries of aerodynamics. Developed in collaboration with Swiss Side, a world leader in aerodynamic engineering from Formula 1 and high-level cycling, this helmet was designed to offer a measurable advantage in real-world race conditions.

Thanks to its optimized profile and innovative interchangeable dual visor concept, the TimeShifter adapts to different riding positions to maximize aerodynamic gains without compromising comfort or visibility.

Key features

• Developed with Swiss Side for high-level aerodynamic performance
• Interchangeable magnetic dual visor (Narrow & Wide)
• Designed for triathlon and time trial events
• Optimized for different head positions and cockpit configurations
• Forced Air Cooling ventilation system for efficient cooling
• Fast and secure Fidlock magnetic buckle
• Precise adjustment with the Zoom Spin system
• Compatible with long hair and ponytails
• Lightweight and robust In-Mold construction

Aerodynamics validated by science

The ABUS TimeShifter is not the result of simple theoretical simulations. Its development is based on a particularly extensive testing program including:

• 112 CFD simulations
• 194 wind tunnel runs
• 39 velodrome sessions

The objective: to create a fast helmet for the majority of athletes and in a maximum of race situations, and not only in ideal laboratory conditions.

Two visors for maximum customization

The Dual Visor Concept system allows you to choose between two visor shapes:

• Narrow: a more compact profile for certain aerodynamic positions.
• Wide: extended coverage to optimize airflow according to your morphology and position.

This approach refines aerodynamic performance while maintaining an excellent field of vision and perfect integration with the cockpit.

Efficient ventilation for long distances

Despite its ultra-aerodynamic profile, the TimeShifter maintains excellent heat management thanks to Forced Air Cooling technology. Internal channels efficiently direct air through the helmet to improve comfort during prolonged efforts, even in high heat.

Premium comfort and fit

The Zoom Spin system ensures precise retention adjustment while the removable and washable internal padding guarantees lasting comfort. The Fidlock magnetic buckle makes it easy to use, even with gloves, for quick transitions on race day.
