Balancing protection and comfort with a variety of Lazer retention systems

Security and fit are two of the most important features rides can look for when buying a new helmet. If the helmet doesn't fit well or isn't secured down on the head properly, it cannot provide its full level of protection. Selecting the right size of helmet is the first step to ensuring a proper fit. Then, choose a retention system that keeps the helmet snugly and comfortably in place on your head, so you know it'll stay in place in the event of a crash.

Lazer offers a variety of retention system designs that wrap the head comfortably while providing different user features and adjustment options. Each system works seamlessly within the helmet to provide robust, reliable protection for all types of riders, from toddlers up to the most experienced cyclists. So, how do Lazer’s lineup of retention systems differ?

ScrollSys Retention System

Designed alongside Lazer’s KinetiCore rotational impact protection technology, the new ScrollSys system is the newest and most technically advanced retentions system and is found on both the Vento KintiCore and Strada KinetiCore helmets. ScrollSys delivers a comfortable fit and quick adjustments thanks to a large belt at the back of the helmet that’s easy to reach for on-the-go adjustments.

Advanced Rollsys System – ARS

Lazer’s Advanced Rollsys System uses a unique dial on the top of the helmet, providing a progressive adjustment around the entire circumference of the rider’s head. ARS enables you to easily adjust the fit of your helmet while riding and is not only ponytail-friendly, but it prevents hotspots or pressure points as well. ARS is found on some of Lazer's top-tier road helmets, including the G1 MIPS, Z1 MIPS, and Sphere MIPS.

Advanced TurnSys Retention System

The Lazer Advanced TurnSys system provides a tailored fit that's easy to adjust on the move with a simple turn of the dial. It reduces pressure points and hot spots while providing vertical adjustability around the circumference of the head. The Advanced TurnSys system is available on the Tonic KinetiCore and Jackal KinetiCore.

Advanced Turnfit System – ATS

Lazer’s Advanced Turnfit System places the retention dial at the back of the helmet to optimize aerodynamic drag on aero helmets - keeping the top of the helmet free of airflow disruptions – or allows for helmet-top features like a camera mount on mountain bike helmets. The Advanced Turnfit System design tightens evenly around the circumference of the rider's head rather than using a traditional system with a dial at the back that effectively pushes the head forward into the helmet and often leaves pressure marks on the forehead. Lazer's Advanced Turnfit System is available with the Wasp Air Tri, Impala MIPS, and Urbanize MIPS.

Turnfit Plus – TS+

Lazer’s Turnfit Plus retention system was completely redesigned in 2015 to offer the simplicity of a traditional retention dial at the back of the helmet while boosting comfort by comfortably tightening around the entire circumference of the head. It is featured on helmets such as the Tardiz 2, Coyote MIPS, Chiru MIPS, and J1.
