A strong choice for recreational cyclists, commuters and weekend riders who want affordable, well-ventilated protection with a simple adjustable fit.
The Lazer Tempo KinetiCore is a practical road helmet for commuting, weekend rides and everyday cycling. You get integrated KinetiCore protection without a separate rotational-impact liner, helping keep the helmet light and the airflow open. At 260 g CE, it is notably easy to wear for a budget-focused helmet.
The TurnSys® fit system makes adjustment quick and straightforward across the 54–61 cm range. Real-world testing found the helmet secure and comfortable over longer rides, with good airflow on warm days and no pressure points. The one-size design can look and feel bulkier at the extremes of the size range, so checking your head measurement is important before ordering.
Choose the Tempo when you want straightforward protection, comfortable ventilation and useful everyday features rather than race-focused aerodynamics or premium trim. The rear Direct Mount accepts a Universal Lazer LED, and compatibility with the Winter Kit extends its usefulness into cooler conditions. The clean road styling also suits hybrid and light gravel riding.

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.
