Lazer helmets sit on the heads of many of the most accomplished cyclists in the world.

Riders who trust the brand to deliver comfort, safety, and speed when it matters most include current Tour de France champion Jonas Vingagaard, Wout van Aert, and many others. These elite cyclists love the technology and features found in Lazer helmets like KinetiCore rotational impact protection and optional aerodynamic attachments to get the most out of their equipment on race day.

But Lazer helmets aren’t just for the pros. Models with KinetiCore, optional integrated lights, and other features are available in all shapes, sizes, and price points.

Here’s a rundown of Lazer helmets to help find the perfect fit for every rider in the family.

Road and Commuting Helmets

Vento KinetiCore

Lazer’s Vento KinetiCore is a performance-driven helmet that updates the Bullet 2.0 with improvements in pretty much every category of design, from aerodynamics to ventilation.

Lazer says the Vento KinetiCore is 5.4% lighter than the Bullet 2.0, 29% lighter, 2.3% more aerodynamic, and features 5.4% percent better cooling and ventilation.

Lazer’s KinetiCore rotational impact protection technology is fully integrated throughout the design process to bring optimal protection and lightness to the helmet. The Vento’s design features an aggressive 15-degree sprint-position angle ideal for aerodynamic performance.

The Vento adjusts with ScrollSys belt and includes a silicone docking system for eyewear. Optional LED lights also are available to bring another level of safety to the helmet.

The Vento KinetiCore comes in four colors, including White, Red, Black Flash Yellow, and Matte Black for an MSRP of $299.99.

Strada KinetiCore

Lazer’s Strada KinetiCore brings a breath of versatility to the brand’s road lineup. The Strada, which features the same KinetiCore technology as the Vento, features highly breathable ventilation and is compatible with an Aeroshell accessory, which offers increased aerodynamic performance and weather protection.

The Strada features Lazer’s Venturi ventilation system, which sucks cool air through the front while shooting hot air from the back. Lazer says the Strada runs 6% lighter than the Lazer Blade+ and uses 20 fewer grams of plastic in its design. That cuts down on both the helmet’s weight and carbon footprint.

The  Strada KinetiCore comes in eight colors including Matte Slate Blue, Gray, Forest Green, Red, Full Matte Black, White, Matte Grey Flash Yellow, and Light Blue Sunset.

G1 MIPS

Lazer’s G1 MIPS helmet holds the unique title of the brand’s lightest helmet. It weighs in at just 235 grams, making it a favorite for climbers and those who need optimal airflow.

The G1 MIPS includes 22 vents with internal air channels that add 8% more airflow over the head. The helmet uses a lightweight Advanced Rollsys with a vertical adjustable head basket. It also includes two pad options including superlight and comfort pads to dial in fit and function.

Like the Strada, the G1 MIPS also is Aeroshell compatible for those who want an even greater aerodynamic edge.

Sphere MIPS

The Lazer Sphere MIPS offers all-day comfort in a high-performance package. The Sphere MIPS features a progressive Advanced Rollsys fit system that cinches down with a thumbwheel on the top of the back of the helmet. The Advanced Rollsys system helps eliminate pressure points and hotspots, while 18 vents dialed into an aggressive 15-degree angle bring as much cool air in as possible.

The MIPS system in the helmet helps reduce the chance of injury from rotational impacts during a crash. A polycarbonate layer inside the helmet also helps keep foam together if a rider goes down, which is helpful if the helmet takes multiple hits.

The Sphere MIPS also is available with an optional Aeroshell that offers increased aerodynamics and protection from wind and rain.

KinetiCore uses controlled crumple zones to direct energy away from riders’ heads in the event of a crash.

The helmet features a TurnSys adjustment system that cinches down using a dial and includes four ventilation points to keep riders cool. It also works with Lazer’s Universal LED on the back for increased visibility.

Lazer says the CityZen KinetiCore is 19% lighter than the Lazer One+ MIPS and uses 100 fewer grams of plastic in its construction. It includes Lazer’s top-end safety features in a package that cuts out unnecessary weight.

Mountain Bike Helmets

Jackal KinetiCore

Lazer’s Jackal KinetiCore takes the same KinetiCore rotational impact protection system from the brand’s road and commuter helmets to the trail.

The Jackal weighs in at 340 grams in size medium and comes loaded with accessories designed to enhance off-road riding.

The helmet features a magnetic buckle that is easy to use with full-finger gloves, along with an integrated camera mount for those who like to capture their rides. The Jackal KinetiCore mount system prevents the camera or accessories from intruding into the helmet in the event of an impact, making it a safer option.

Lazer’s TurnSys technology makes dialing in fit quick and easy, and recesses in the side of the helmet help reduce the pressure that results from the arms of sunglasses pressing against the head.

Kids Helmets

Pnut KinetiCore

Lazer’s Pnut KinetiCore gives kids a great helmet whether just starting out in a carrier or hitting the pedals on their own.

The Pnut features Lazer’s KinetiCore rotational impact protection system and deeper temple coverage in anticipation of tip-overs that can’t be avoided with younger riders.

For those not quite ready to get on a bike under their own power, the Pnut has a flatter rear profile to make rides in trailers more comfortable, and a cheek buckle that stays clear of the chin for easy access.

Lazer used to be my go to brand for my long oval head but custom 3D printed helmets can’t be beat for comfort.

Is the Lazer Strada ok for normal oval shaped heads? Not the long oval shaped. Or is it more for round heads?
