The TimeShifter Swiss Side edition lets customers complete their full Swiss Side aero package, from helmet to tires. Paired with Swiss Side triathlon or time trial suits, the aero cockpit, wheels, calf sleeves and socks, all the way down to the Continental Aero 111 tires, athletes can now run a fully integrated aerodynamic system.

The TimeShifter development program with ABUS

On top of that came extensive additional testing and race validation by professional triathletes and cyclists.

Throughout development, Swiss Side brought its aerodynamic expertise, simulation capabilities, wind tunnel testing, performance analysis and real-world validation methods, honed through years of Formula 1-inspired engineering and proven racing experience in cycling.

We're extremely excited to be offering, alongside ABUS, this Swiss Side edition of the TimeShifter time trial helmet. It's a key piece of an athlete's overall performance package, and on its own it can save precious minutes over a long-distance triathlon.

Since its launch, the TimeShifter has proven itself in competition, racking up numerous wins on the IRONMAN circuit, a podium at the 2026 IRONMAN World Championship with Laura Philipp and a road cycling time trial world title with Marlen Reusser.

The limited edition helmet is priced at €599.
