Product Information

Full details

The Abus Targon MIPS is a versatile full-face helmet designed for adult mountain bikers who require maximum protection on technical descents and breathability during strenuous climbs. Its key benefit is the removable chin bar, which allows riders to switch between full-face safety and an open-face configuration in seconds, though users should note that frequent removal requires careful handling of the locking mechanism to ensure continued security.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the chin bar removable while riding?

It is highly recommended to stop and dismount before removing or attaching the chin bar to ensure it is locked securely.

Can I replace the internal pads?

Yes, the Vario Pads are removable for cleaning and can be replaced if they wear out over time.

What is the purpose of the MIPS system?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is an inner layer that allows the helmet to slide relative to the head, reducing rotational energy to the brain during an impact.

Will my goggles fit with this helmet?

The Targon is designed to be compatible with most standard MTB goggles and features a visor that can be adjusted to accommodate them.

How do I know if the helmet is the right size?

The helmet should sit level on your head, covering your forehead without obstructing your vision, and should not move significantly when you shake your head.

Is the visor adjustable?

Yes, the breakaway visor is designed to provide some adjustment to block sunlight or accommodate eyewear.

Troubleshooting

Chin bar is difficult to attach

Check the Speed Latch tracks for debris and ensure both sides are aligned perfectly before pushing into place.

Helmet feels loose during riding

Re-adjust the Zoom Rapid Fit system and ensure the internal Vario Pads are correctly snapped into their designated positions.

FIDLOCK buckle not clicking

Inspect the magnetic area for metallic dust or debris that might be preventing the magnetic closure from making full contact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Modular design offers two helmets in one
  • Lightweight in-mould construction prevents fatigue
  • Easy one-handed buckle operation
  • Highly breathable for uphill sections
  • Includes MIPS technology for enhanced safety

Cons

  • Chin bar attachment requires practice for speed
  • Heavier than standard half-shell helmets
  • Limited color availability for this specific variant

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your helmet, first adjust the Zoom Rapid Fit dial at the rear until the fit is snug but comfortable. Ensure the chin strap is positioned correctly under your jaw before using the FIDLOCK buckle. When attaching the chin bar, align it with the slots and engage the Speed Latch until you hear a secure click. For cleaning, use only mild soap and lukewarm water on the shell and pads; avoid chemical solvents that may degrade the in-mould materials. Remove the internal Vario Pads periodically for hand-washing to maintain hygiene. Always inspect the Breakaway Visor and chin bar locking tabs after a significant impact to ensure they are still functioning as intended.
