5 / 5

Expensive, but well worth its money for the main purpose of safety and comfort.

- Jeffrey, 7 November, 2023

Good, and very light helmet. You don't feel you are wearing the helmet. Sweat drainage is also made so that it doesn't run down your glasses. And the most important thing you wear a helmet for is safety. Meanwhile, I have seen several crashes from a friend's pro team, and the helmet has proven its services here time and again till date. Despite being a very pricey helmet, it proves to be worth its money. See also the attached team photo

Pros & Cons

Nice, lightweight helmet but impractical to adjust.

- Susanne, 19 October, 2023

A very nice otic, lightweight helmet. Fits well, you hardly notice it when wearing it. Unfortunately, the straps keep getting adjusted, so it has to be readjusted all the time. The adjustment screw on top of the helmet is difficult to use.

Nice and light helmet. However, the so-called advanced roller system was soon broken. After two months of normal use.

Innovative protection for active sports

- Igor, 19 July, 2023

That was really great purchase because of big amount of advantages. At first, I was really surprised of the helmet weight, even with MIPS it's super light. I'm using it for cycling and inline skating and for both helmet ventillation is working perfect. Size changing system is a separate one I would like to mention. It's innovative and I like it a lot. Very compact and convenient. Don't forget that there is one additional hidden opportunity to precisely adjust the size using the screwing system inside helmet. I adjusted it once and forgot about inconvenience not feeling the helmet on my head.

Pros & Cons

Advances from Shimano
Great looking
Light weight
Size adjusting system
Super air flow

This helmet protects really well

- Stefan, 9 October, 2022

I read a lot of reviews about how comfortable it is or how well it breathes. For you guys, so you don't have to do it yourself, I took a moment to really test it out. Landed full on the back of my head after a short flight. Helmet completely absorbed the impact and did not have any damage to head or brain. Top helmet in other words.

Pros & Cons

Nice and light
No concussion

Excellent comfortable helmet at an affordable price.

- Steven, 31 August, 2022

Excellent helmet very comfortable with the 'Rollsys' system ensures the helmet fits all round so no slipping down like my previous helmet. Airflow is good and MIPS adds safety.Excellent service with a very competitive price and fast delivery! My first purchase from Mantel but will not be my last!

Pros & Cons

excellent fit

I look so cool, I definitely cycle faster now

- Erik, 7 July, 2022

According to testing done by Virginia Tech, this is one of the safest bicycle helmets for road cycling. Having come off and shattered a helmet once, I will always pick safe. Your brain is worth a lot. It fits very nicely - the description on the site says that the large is for minimum 60cm, whereas the Lazer info says 58. My head is 58.5cm and it fits well. I believe you have a bit more adjustment options when your head is a bit bigger, but it certainly will fit a 58cm head. I had no problems getting it to fit like you don't feel it. It also looks awesome in white (apparently also the safer colour) and it's fun to see some of the pro's using it too. I must be faster now! On the downside, it's a bit pricey. Mantel had the best price of all my online options and delivery to UK was crazy fast.

Pros & Cons

Good Fit
Light
Looks great
Scores high in crash test
Bit pricey

5 / 5

Very pleased with the helmet and service from Mantel .

- Mark, 28 May, 2022

Once I had found the adjuster hidden under the MIPS and set the helmet to the shape of my head, I have forgotten the helmet was there, the combination of fit and light weight makes this one of the most comfortable lids I have owned over the last 24 years.

Pros & Cons

Forget your wearing it
Light weight
Opportunity to fit aero cover
None so far

You only have one head…don’’t skimp…

- Stuart, 1 December, 2021

You get what you pay for, and when it comes to head protection I don’t cut corners. A hight quality helmet as you’d expect from Lazer. Great fit with lots of adjustment elements for a proper fitting. We opted for the limited edition colour which Mantel had in stock. Have also ordered the black Aeroshell and Pod case which we’ve had to buy elsewhere as not in stock.

Pros & Cons

High quality
Looks great
Low weight
No option to buy Aeroshell or Pod at same time.

Super light helmet that fits perfectly

- Maximilian, 23 January, 2021

Very nice looking and light helmet. It fits me perfectly and doesn't leave any pressure marks. The width adjustment is unusual at first, but then it's practical. I'm fully satisfied after having ridden Giro before, which wasn't so comfortable.

TOPPISSIME

- Esmeralda, 5 January, 2021

Great helmet! Very good fit thanks to all-round tightening. Tightening knob on the top of the helmet. Allows long hair to pass through. More aesthetic and also more practical for adjusting the fit while riding. Its weight is one of its biggest strengths. One of the lightest on the market. A quantum leap from my old helmet. Carry bag included, as well as spare foam. Very attractive helmet. I'm very happy with this helmet!

Nice light lid, had better fit for my 62cm noggin

- David, 9 November, 2020

Happy with quality and especially weight. The large is perfect circumference for 62cm head. Downside is the helmet easily rides up at the front i.e. tilts back so is more mobile than desired. Broke my giro in a crash and bought an £100 specialised quick fix at my local which fits really really securely in comparison its just 100gram heavier and ugly as sin compared to the Lazer so thought to try the Lazer. Venting and weight will no doubt be stellar come the summer.

- Janet, 21 October, 2020
