Abus Carretera
Best reliable gear for serious road cyclists.
This helmet is built for the rider who prioritizes aerodynamics without wanting to feel like they’re wearing a brick. It strips away the bulk of traditional safety gear to keep you cool on long climbs, though you sacrifice some of the plush, heavy-duty padding found in more casual lids.
