The Abus Viantor might sit at the entry point to the German brand's road specific helmet range but benefits from many of the same features as found in its higher priced compatriots.

The Viantor utilises the same in-moulding construction technique that many brands are using on higher priced helmets. This uses heat to bond the hard outer shell with the shock absorbing EPS polystyrene inner structure; creating a stronger, almost one piece helmet with better durability and fewer weak points.
