Speed is Relative
Developing a time trial helmet is an enormous challenge: aerodynamic performance depends on many factors – from body measurements and riding position to race conditions. That is why there is no single helmet that is the fastest for everyone – the choice is highly individual. A model that delivers top results for one athlete may perform very differently for another.
That is why we have deliberately chosen not to make blanket aero claims. Instead, the TimeShifter was tested, compared and validated through an iterative development process:
- 112 CFD simulations
- 194 wind tunnel tests
- 39 velodrome measurements
The result is not a helmet designed for a perfect laboratory position – but the most high-performance ABUS TT helmet to date, designed to suit the widest possible range of riders and racing situations.
Swiss precision meets German engineering
What happens when ABUS joins forces with Swiss Side? The result is a helmet designed not just to feel fast – but to be measurably faster. For the aerodynamic development of the TimeShifter, ABUS partnered with Swiss Side – a high-performance team with roots in Formula 1 and a track record of shaping world-leading aero products in triathlon and cycling.
Dual Visor Concept
Fine-tune aerodynamics through two interchangeable visor shapes: Narrow and Wide. Both visors influence how the helmet interacts with the shoulders, arms, cockpit setup and airflow. This means that the choice of visor can be specifically tailored to individual body and seating positions. Which configuration is aerodynamically optimal depends on the rider’s specific setup. The visor is an integral part of the helmet design. Without a visor, performance can deteriorate significantly.
Proven To Be Faster
Form follows function: the TimeShifter has been consistently developed for performance in time trials and triathlons.
The focus is on robust aerodynamics for different head and arm positions as well as racing conditions. This is based on extensive CFD analyses, wind tunnel and velodrome tests as well as validations in the professional peloton.
Development took place in close partnership with the aerodynamics specialist Swiss Side and with the involvement of WorldTour athletes. The aim was to develop a helmet that delivers reproducible advantages not only under ideal conditions, but also in real racing situations. The TimeShifter represents a new generation of time trial helmets: scientifically backed, developed on the basis of data and consistently transparent in performance communication.
Features
- Ponytail Fit: thanks to the opening in the height-adjustable adjustment system, the helmet is also suitable for long hairstyles such as ponytails, buns, or braids
- Forced Air Cooling: the ventilation openings are connected to each other via channels on the inside to guide incoming air through the helmet and thus ensure maximum air circulation and a pleasant head climate
- Magnetic visor: visor attached by magnets to protect the eyes from wind, rain and insects – easily removable and replaceable
- Zoom™ Spin adjustment system: rotary wheel at the back of the head for individual adjustment of the helmet to the head size
- Slide Divider™: for individual adjustment of the straps by sliding the strap divider – minimalist and functional
- Comfort Pads: soft padded inserts for optimum comfort, attached to the helmet with Velcro
- Removable, washable pads: can be removed and washed by hand or replaced if necessary
- Magnetic buckle: the straps are fitted with a high-quality, magnetic FIDLOCK buckle to enable the chin buckle to be opened with one hand, even when wearing gloves
- In-mould process: production process in which the inner cushioning material made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) is foamed directly into the outer shell made of polycarbonate (PC) – this creates a durable and robust connection
