The Z1 KinetiCore is for those who seek lightness without compromising on protection. This new model has been designed to be both lightweight and well-ventilated, while meeting safety standards and offering integrated rotational impact protection.

Taking the iconic Z1 as a starting point, worn by famous athletes such as André Greipel on the Champs-Elysées, Lazer has kept everything that made it successful and improved it by integrating Lazer’s patented KinetiCore technology. The result is a 5-star rating from Virginia Tech for its integrated rotational impact protection, with a weight of only 220g (size M).

Strategically placed vents, a rounded surface, and a floating headband at the brow ensure optimal ventilation while keeping aerodynamics in mind. A Lazer Aeroshell cover is compatible with this helmet and can be attached to close the vents, thus offering greater aerodynamics as well as protection against weather conditions.

The helmet now integrates the Lazer Advanced RollSys retention system, a dial located on the top of the helmet that controls the fit around the entire circumference of the head for more comfort, without pressure points. As the helmet adjustment is now operated from the top, this leaves more room for ponytails or buns.

Other features of the Z1 KinetiCore include lightweight straps sewn from recycled and antibacterial materials, designed for comfort. The removal of the plastic strap divider and the use of recycled materials are small steps towards a more sustainable future, as Lazer wishes.

The Z1 KinetiCore allows you to store your glasses in the vents thanks to a dedicated slot. Increased visibility is easily achieved by attaching a universal Lazer LED light to the back of the helmet.

The new aggressive design of the Z1 KinetiCore and its range of trendy colors will turn heads while pushing your limits.

Lazer KinetiCore Technology

Reinventing helmet design with over ten years of research, development, and testing, KinetiCore technology offers integrated rotational impact protection through unique controlled deformation zones, incorporated within the helmet’s structure. The result of this integrated design is advanced multi-directional protection, confidently ensuring cyclists’ safety. Integrated KinetiCore technology also uses fewer materials for better ventilation, a lighter helmet design, and less plastic used in manufacturing.

Virginia Tech Rating

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 certification standard may offer different levels of impact protection. The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab is 100% independent of any funding or influence from helmet manufacturers and therefore provides unbiased ratings on a 5-star scale that allow consumers to make informed decisions when purchasing helmets. Simply put, the ratings identify which helmets best reduce the risk of concussion. The more stars, the better the protection.
