A strong choice for trail and mountain-bike riders who want deep coverage, simple fit adjustment, eyewear compatibility and integrated rotational impact protection in a versatile one-size helmet.
The Lazer Lupo KinetiCore is built for trail riding, with deep side coverage, an integrated fixed visor and a straightforward one-size fit. Its KinetiCore construction uses shaped EPS crumple zones to help manage energy from direct and rotational impacts without adding a separate low-friction liner. The result is a clean, low-profile helmet that keeps the feature set focused on everyday trail use.
The TurnSys® fit system gives you quick dial adjustment, including while riding, while the brow vents help move air through the front of the helmet. Recesses around the sides create a more eyewear-friendly fit, reducing pressure from sunglass arms, and the fixed visor provides useful trail coverage without needing adjustment.
For regular riding, the Lupo is a sensible all-rounder: comfortable enough for longer outings, protective enough for the trail and practical for lower-light rides thanks to its Universal Lazer LED compatibility. A hands-on test of the Lupo KC family found the helmet stayed unobtrusive during half-day riding and trail use, reinforcing its appeal as an easy, set-and-forget option. (kaden.watch.impress.co.jp)

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.
