A strong choice for trail, gravel and everyday off-road riders who value coverage, easy adjustment and practical year-round features over minimum weight.
The Lazer Lupo KinetiCore is built for trail riding, with deep side coverage, an integrated fixed visor and KinetiCore protection designed to manage direct and rotational impacts. The controlled-crumple EPS zones are built into the helmet rather than added as a separate liner, helping deliver rotational-impact protection in a clean, practical package.
Fit is simple to dial in using the rear TurnSys® adjustment system, and the uni-size shell covers 55–61 cm. The helmet’s eyewear recesses are shaped to reduce pressure from sunglass arms, while the brow vents and large ventilation openings help keep airflow moving on warmer rides. Real-world testing found the helmet secure around the sides and rear, comfortable for trail and gravel use, and easy to adjust while riding.
At 390 g, the Lupo is not chasing ultralight race-helmet weight, but that extra substance suits riders who prefer a more enveloping trail design. The fixed visor is useful on enclosed or overgrown trails, and the rear Direct Mount accepts the Universal Lazer LED for added visibility. Compatibility with the TurnSys Winter Kit also gives you a practical way to extend its use into colder conditions.

Belgian helmet specialist with more than a century of history.
Lazer is a Belgian helmet brand founded in 1919, with roots in Nivelles and headquarters today in Mechelen, Belgium. The company began with protective headwear long before modern cycling helmets became standard, then evolved through leather crash hats into hard-shell bicycle helmets as the sport demanded higher levels of protection.
Over the decades, Lazer became closely associated with cycling helmet development, including early hard-shell road helmets and more recent advances in fit, ventilation and rotational-impact design. Since 2016, Lazer has been part of Shimano, and in 2022 it introduced KinetiCore, its own built-in rotational impact protection system.
