ABUS AirDrop Battle of contrasts

RISING STAR MEETS LEGEND

When two hyper-competitive mountain bikers like Gabriel Wibmer and Cedric Gracia meet on a gorgeous island like La Palma, you know that you will leave with breathtaking, adrenaline-pumping video footage!

A mountain bike rock star for nearly 2 decades, Gracia knows what it takes to live at the top of the freeride and downhill world.  He has the endurance of a teenager, the courage to go to extremes, and a backflip like no other.  

Gabriel Wibmer, in his early 20s, is already one of the world’s downhill elites.  This exceptionally skilled rider is known for his seemingly effortless balance and flatland tricks, gravity defying jumping, blazing fast course times, and action-packed social media entertainment.

Young Gun or Hall of Famer, neither are willing to compromise when it comes to safety.  In their battle on La Palma, both riders are protected by the ABUS AirDrop – the “king of helmets”.

Throughout the development of the AirDrop, Cédric Gracia and Gabriel Wibmer provided invaluable input and thoroughly tested many versions of the helmet. The result is a helmet made by riders for riders. Downhill runs in the bike park, steep exposed trails on an enduro bike, and countless sessions on the pump track: If you are all about speed, airtime, and adrenaline, it is time to upgrade to the ABUS AirDrop.
