Our take
Abus's AirBreaker is the race helmet that punches above its price: it's genuinely light, the big vents keep you cool at speed, and the Zoom Ace cradle locks it in place. It doesn't carry a MIPS liner and it's a pure performance shape rather than a comfort tourer, but for fast riding it's excellent value.
