SPHERE KINETICORE
"straps are positioned just right to virbrate in the wind and are a bit loud; but the sound numbs over the course of the ride"
Sphere KinetiCore
Sleek and Stylish
Lazer’s proven KinetiCore technology is the world’s first responsibly designed and fully Integrated Rotational Impact Protection technology that’s built directly into the helmet, instead of added on afterwards. The result is a lighter, cooler helmet with enhanced protective capability that won’t squeak, rattle or compromise comfort and airflow.
This helmet is compatible with the Universal Lazer LED Accessory Light, so you can increase your visibility in low light or stormy weather conditions. The light attaches securely and easily at the back of the helmet, and can be removed easily for racing or as the conditions change.
Sphere KinetiCore features a slim and sleek profile, precise fit adjustability, secure eyewear docking and powerful vents cleverly positioned to enhance cooling and comfort.

"straps are positioned just right to virbrate in the wind and are a bit loud; but the sound numbs over the course of the ride"
"I was looking for a helmet for commuting and some road riding. I cycle through a few helmets depending on what I'm riding. I was hesitant on the KinetiCore vs MIPS on the Sphere but opted to give it a try. I have a Z1 with MIPS and was very happy with the venting on it as well as it's weight. The Sphere is heavier and doesn't have the same venting as the Z1 but thought I'd give it a shot for the price. Also read mixed reviews on the non adjustable straps but, again, the price was right. Out of the box, this helmet fit like a glove. I didn't have to adjust anything. It feels lighter than it's claimed weight and the venting is pretty good for having aero qualities. I rode in the dead of summer on the some of the hottest days and I tend to run hot as it is, and this did not disappoint. It doesn't vent like the Z1 but vents just fine for the hottest of days. I was pleasantly surprised. The straps lie nicely and not having adjustability wasn't an issue for me. Might be lucky in that sense, but looking at the placement of the joints of the strap, it looks like a pretty universal fit. Here's the main reason for my review, the safety and durability of this helmet. I was involved in a very bad crash and the first impact was directly on my head. This helmet saved my life hands down. I walked away with a lot of injuries but did not suffer a concussion or any head trauma. I expected to have a shattered helmet and although it was damaged, I was shocked it hadn't cracked upon impact. It took damage and needs replaced for sure, but no cracks and it held up very well overall. Very impressed and thankful for it's construction. I don't know if you can beat this helmet for the price with the features you get. Also, Lazer has a crash replacement program which is an additional bonus. 5+ stars in my opinion. I typically wear a medium and this fits like a glove."
"After about a month of ownership and a handful of uses (I cycle through three or so helmets throughout the week). The retention system no longer holds the adjustment, the dial still functions but backs off on its own. Pretty disappointed with the overall quality of this particular helmet despite being a fan of the Vento and the G1 Mips."
"Very comfortable and a great value for the quality."
"Absolutely love it!!! Looks great and feels great. Actually looking forward to a crash."
"The marketing material on the Lazer website shows adjustable straps around the ears but the helmet received had straps sown together at a set height. The unchangeable strap was too short for my ears so the helmet was returned. I'm not sure I can trust Lazer or any Shimano product going forward."
"I have a hard time finding helmets that fit comfortably, but this one is great. I’m pleased with this purchase."
