Abus Urban-I 3.0
The commuter pick — a comfortable city helmet with a built-in rear light and everyday practicality

Highlights

- ✓ Fidlock magnetic buckle for one-handed use
- ✓ Good padding and adjustable fit
Our take
For city and commuter riding the Urban-I 3.0 is the sensible choice: the built-in rear light means one less thing to clip on, the shape covers more of your head than a race helmet, and the magnetic buckle is easy with gloves. It's heavier and less ventilated than a road helmet, but for everyday urban riding it's ideal.
