Stylish and Lightweight

Strategically placed vents, inclined bridges and a floating headband allow best in class ventilation while keeping aerodynamics in mind. A Lazer Aeroshell is compatible with the helmet and can be added to close the vents for extra aerodynamic advantage and provide protection against the weather elements.”

Now including the upgraded Lazer Advanced RollSys, a thumbwheel on the top of the helmet that controls the fit system spanning around the entire circumference of the head for a comfortable and secure fit with no pressure points. As the Lazer Advanced RollSys sits on top of the helmet, enough room for long hair in a ponytail or bun is kept free.”

About Lazer KinetiCore Technology

“Reimagining modern helmet design with over ten years of research and development, Lazer’s KinetiCore technology features built-in rotational-impact protection thanks to unique Controlled Crumple Zones incorporated into the internal structure of the helmet. The result of this integrated design is advanced multidirectional protection that allows riders to ride with confidence. KinetiCore also uses less overall material for improved ventilation, a lighter-weight helmet design, and fewer plastics used in construction.”

Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings

All helmets sold must be certified to meet minimum safety requirements. However, not all helmets are created equal and two helmets that meet the official standard for certification may offer different levels of impact protection. The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab is 100% independent of any funding or influence from helmet manufacturers and provides unbiased ratings on a 5-star scale that allows consumers to make informed decisions when purchasing. Simply stated, the ratings identify which helmets best reduce concussion risk. More stars equate to better protection, with 5 stars representing the best available helmets.”
