The Lazer Z1 KinetiCore is a featherweight road race helmet built for riders who refuse to compromise between protection, ventilation and weight. At just 220g with 33 vents and Lazer's proprietary KinetiCore rotational protection integrated directly into the liner, it earns a 5-star safety rating without the weight penalty of traditional MIPS systems — making it one of the lightest and best-protected helmets on the market.

Highlights

• KinetiCore built-in rotational protection: Controlled crumple zones absorb both direct and rotational impact forces, earning a 5-star safety rating without added MIPS hardware.
• Featherweight at 220g: Built 24% lighter and with 70g less plastic than the Lazer Z1 MIPS for effortless all-day wearing.
• 33-vent ventilation: Exceptional airflow keeps you cooler — even rated up to 3% cooler than wearing no helmet at all.
• Advanced RollSys fit system: Thumb-wheel micro-adjustment with a floating headband delivers a precise, stable fit across a range of head shapes.
• Polygiene Biostatic padding: Antibacterial treatment keeps the liner fresh across long training blocks and multi-day events.
• Aeroshell and LED compatible: Accepts a Lazer Aeroshell polycarbonate cover for wet-weather aero riding, plus a universal LED rear light attachment.
• Eyewear-friendly: Updated rear basket stores sunglasses securely on the go.

KinetiCore Technology

KinetiCore replaces external rotational protection systems with controlled crumple zones moulded directly into the EPS liner. In an impact, these zones deform in a controlled manner to manage both linear and rotational forces — the mechanics that can cause serious brain injury. The result is 5-star-rated protection that adds zero extra weight or components, keeping the Z1 KinetiCore at the very top of the lightweight road helmet category.

Ventilation & Aerodynamics

With 33 vents optimised for airflow through the helmet, the Z1 KinetiCore delivers best-in-class cooling for road racing and long endurance rides. The inclined internal bridges channel air efficiently from front to rear, while the Aeroshell cover (sold separately) transforms it into an aero helmet for time trials or race day without requiring a second lid.
