Abus - TimeShifter Visor

Accessories suitable for ABUS TimeShifter: Three visor shapes allow targeted adjustment to your individual setup: Narrow and Wide for aerodynamic fine-tuning, Cut for extreme aerodynamic positions.

ADAPTABLE AERODYNAMICS TimeShifter is the first time trial helmet with three interchangeable visors: Narrow, Wide and Cut. Narrow and Wide change the effective width and shape of the helmet, helping to optimise the interaction between helmet, rider and airflow. Wind tunnel tests with professional athletes show that, depending on shoulder width and cockpit setup, visor choice can deliver decisive marginal gains. While the Narrow visor offers particular benefits with a compact arm position, the Wide visor can optimise aerodynamics for a broader upper body or more open setups. The concept allows aerodynamic fine-tuning without compromising the field of vision or ventilation. Narrow and Wide are available in clear, tinted and mirrored versions. A Cut visor is also available, developed specifically for extreme aerodynamic positions. It minimises interference in very narrow cockpit setups and supports maximum integration with very low head and arm positions during time trials. The Cut visor is available in clear and mirrored versions. All visors are made in Italy.

Visor shapes: available in Wide, Narrow and Cut versions to suit different time trial positions and individual aerodynamic setups for TT and Tri use

Development goal: aerodynamic fine-tuning of the riding position without compromising visibility, cooling or setup integration

Marginal gains: a small, measurable reduction in aerodynamic drag is possible, depending on rider position, head posture and crosswind conditions

Visor colours: Narrow and Wide models are available in clear, tinted or mirrored versions - Cut visor available in clear or mirrored versions

Magnetic attachment: the visor can be quickly and securely attached to or removed from the helmet using a magnetic mount

Unobstructed 360° vision: the broad visor geometry provides a clear view in all directions, regardless of head or riding position

Seamless helmet integration: the visor follows the shape of the helmet and reduces the ingress of wind, rain, dust and insects

Flexible use: the visor is not permanently installed and can be attached, removed, replaced or adjusted at any time

Robust material: made from durable polycarbonate for high stability and low weight

Fog-free: reduced visor fogging for clear vision in changing weather and race conditions

Made in Italy: manufactured in Italy

Narrow visor: optimised for compact setups, narrow shoulders or close arm positions

Wide visor: optimised for riders with broader shoulders or a more open arm position

Cut visor: developed to minimise interference in very narrow cockpit setups, for example with very low head positions and raised arms during time trials

Founded in 1924 in Volmarstein, Germany, by August Bremicker and some of his sons, ABUS is now based in Wetter. It offers cyclists helmets and bicycle locks. Its connection with cycling dates back to 1931, when it launched its first bike lock, the No. 1000.
