ABUS MODROP MIPS VELVET BLACK MEDIUM

The Stealth Trail Specialist.

The ABUS MoDrop MIPS in Velvet Black is the definitive "all-mountain" helmet for riders who prefer a clean, understated look without compromising on high-end safety features. Engineered for the demands of modern trail riding, the MoDrop provides the extended rear coverage and stability needed for technical singletrack, while remaining light and breathable enough for all-day epic climbs. The "Velvet Black" matte finish gives it a premium, stealthy aesthetic that pairs perfectly with any kit or bike colorway.

This model is equipped with the MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System), a low-friction layer integrated into the helmet's interior. This system is designed to allow the helmet to slide slightly during an angled impact, helping to reduce the rotational forces transmitted to the brain. Combined with its Multi-Shell In-Mold construction, the MoDrop is a robust and sophisticated piece of safety equipment.

Key Features

• MIPS Brain Protection: Features the integrated Multi-directional Impact Protection System to help manage rotational energy during certain types of crashes.

• Multi-Shell In-Mold: A durable construction process that permanently bonds the outer shell to the shock-absorbing EPS material for long-lasting impact protection.

• Extended Rear Coverage: Designed with a deeper profile at the back of the head to provide increased protection for the occipital region.

• Zoom Ace MTB Fit System: A height-adjustable, turn-wheel adjustment system at the rear that ensures a secure, wobble-free fit on rough terrain.

• GoggFit Technology: Specifically designed to allow for the secure "parking" of goggles on the helmet when not in use, aided by the adjustable visor.

• Superior Airflow: Equipped with 6 air inlets and 8 air outlets connected by internal channels to keep your head cool during high-effort climbs.

Technical Specifications

✅ Why This IS For You

• Aggressive Trail Riders: If you need a helmet that offers more confidence than a standard XC lid but is light enough for big days in the saddle.

• Stealth Style Enthusiasts: Perfect for those who want a high-performance matte black finish that won't show scratches or dirt as easily as gloss colors.

• Goggle & Glasses Wearers: Ideal for riders who frequently swap between eyewear; the visor adjustment and shell shape are optimized for seamless integration.

❌ Why This May NOT be for you

• High-Speed Road Use: While it vents well, the visor and mountain-bike-specific shape are less aerodynamic than dedicated road helmets.

• Full-Face Requirements: If your riding consists mostly of double-black diamond DH runs or bike park laps, we recommend moving up to a full-face helmet for chin and jaw protection.

BFC Pro Tip

The ABUS MoDrop stands out because it is "Ponytail Ready." Even if you don't have long hair, this design creates a "window" at the back that allows the fit system to sit lower and more securely against the base of your skull. When setting it up, make sure the Zoom Ace cradle is adjusted vertically so it "cups" the back of your head—this prevents the helmet from rocking forward into your eyes during steep descents. To keep the Velvet Black finish looking brand new, avoid using oily cleaners; a simple damp microfiber cloth is the best way to maintain that premium matte look!
