Abus Taipan helmet light

The rear light attaches to the back of the helmet using built-in magnets, without the need for screws or straps.

The light strip clips directly onto the right-hand side of the helmet and is held in place by the magnetic system. This design allows for quick, tool-free attachment and removal, whilst ensuring a secure fit whilst cycling.

This mounting method also makes recharging easier: simply detach the light from the helmet to plug it in via the USB-C port, without having to dismantle the entire system.

Battery life ranges from at least 4.3 hours in Power mode to 35 hours in Flash mode.

The ACE rear light offers four lighting modes: Steady, Power, Pulse and Flash. Each offers a different balance between light intensity and battery life, allowing you to adapt your use to the lighting conditions and the expected duration of your ride.

These times also depend on weather conditions and the type of use. Flash mode, which is the most energy-efficient, is suitable for long rides requiring extended battery life, whilst Power mode prioritises brighter light for a shorter duration.

The full charging time is approximately 1.5 hours.

Thanks to the USB-C port, charging the ACE rear light is quick and easy. The two built-in lithium-polymer batteries, each with a capacity of 200 mAh, charge fully in one go to provide extended battery life depending on the selected lighting mode.

This fast charging means you can easily get the light ready between rides, without any major inconvenience caused by waiting times.

Yes, this rear light is IP44-certified, meaning it is dust- and splash-proof.

This certification guarantees reliable use in the rain, at dusk or in the dark – conditions in which the 180° visibility provided by this light is crucial for the cyclist’s safety.

The robust build of this rear light makes it suitable for regular use, including in changeable weather, without any risk of damage caused by moisture.

This rear light weighs 20 grams.

This light weight ensures it integrates discreetly with the Urban-I 4.0, Taipan or Hyban 3.0 helmets, without significantly unbalancing or adding weight to the rider’s setup.

Combined with its elegant design and magnetic attachment, this light weight contributes to a comfortable experience, whether for everyday use or sport.

Four modes are available: Steady, Power, Pulse and Flash.

Each mode serves a different purpose: Steady mode provides a steady, continuous light; Power mode prioritises increased brightness; Pulse mode offers a pulsing effect to attract attention; and Flash mode offers maximum battery life with a rapid flashing pattern.

This variety of modes allows you to adapt the lighting to traffic conditions, ambient light levels or the need to conserve battery life on a long journey.
