Love to bomb big hills but don’t like to hazard breaking your face? Check out the highly endorsed new Lazer Cage KinetiCore.
For concussion safety testing, it doesn’t get a whole lot more highly regarded than the Virginia Tech (VT) Helmet Lab. For 15 years, researchers at the Blacksburg, Va., facility have put brain buckets to the test across several disciplines and expressed their findings via a 5-star system.
Enter the first-ever full-face bicycle helmet to get a published 5-star (read: best possible) protection rating from the experts at VT.
The Lazer Cage KinetiCore arrives today with rotational and direct impact protection thanks to the proprietary tech’s “controlled crumple zones.” The target is multidirectional impact protection. And an economy of material helps keep the Cage lightweight and cool inside.

Ten years of research culminated in the design, Lazer said, and you can find multiple other user-comfort features on board.
Lazer, a Shimano subsidiary, said it built the Cage “for the modern downhill and enduro racer pushing their limits on course,” noting that its airflow can help riders stay cool both on the way up and the way down.
