Lazer helmets has expanded their mountain bike range with several new lids, ranging from budget to high end, carbon fiber full face DH models.
Sitting in the upper end of the middle ground is this new Revolution and Revolution FF, a pair of helmets that offer a lot of versatility based on the trail conditions and how aggressive you plan on getting. Combining a standard layout, an ear protector or a full chin bar, plus plenty of oversized vents, it could be the one helmet for all your mountain bike rides.
The extended coverage isn’t just aesthetic, either. The helmet has been crash tested with a camera mounted on it and passes all certifications! It’s clever, but it’s not the only offbeat item they had in their booth…
In standard formation, it uses a clip-on panel to hide the mounting points for the ear guard or chin bar. The visor is adjustable, and it comes with their SMS camera mount built into the top. The main structure uses in-molded construction to save weight and improve durability, as is expected from a high end helmet like this.
Add the ear cover if you want a little extra protection.
The panel pops off and the ear cover snaps in. Padding on the inside of the cover keeps it from scratching your cheeks in a wreck. Separate mounting holes allow the chin bar to bolted into place, as snaps wouldn’t provide enough security for it to pass safety testing (or be very effective).
A more traditional retention mechanism (compared to their top-mounted Rollsys) sits on the cranium cradle.
X-Static pads cover most of the inside but leave room for the air to flow.
