The Lazer Cage sets a new standard in full-face helmet safety

Pop quiz: what is the first and only full-face helmet to receive a five star rating for safety from the Virginia Tech helmet testing lab? If you answered the brand new Lazer Cage KinetiCore, then you'd be right. So not only is it a great-looking helmet but it's as safe as you can buy for enduro riding.

Part of the reason for the safety rating is the KinetiCore tech - Lazer's very own proprietary rotational impact protection - which is integrated directly into the helmet rather than added on. Which means not only are you safe but the helmet is lighter and has better ventilation as a result, two things that you lose with added on rotational impact technologies. (If you want to find out more about KinetiCore, Lazer has a very helpful video on its YouTube channel).

Aside from safety - which is obviously the most important thing - the Cage has a whole host of other nice touches as well. One thing we're particularly enamoured with is the magnetic buckle on the strap. Infinitely easier to operate while wearing gloves, you simply slide the two pieces away from one another and you're out, no more fumbling about with clips. It also has goggle grips to keep your goggles in place while you ride, is designed to fit with a neck brace and is ASTM certified so it's internationally approved for downhill racing.

At 820g for a M it's light too, and available in five sizes from XS all the way up to XL with the weight obviously changing according to what size you pick. Anyway, enough of our chatter, check out the below video if you want to get excited.
