Belgian firm Lazer caught our attention at last year's Interbike trade show with their innovative Magneto Eyewear System, which dispenses with the arms of normal riding glasses and instead uses two magnets fitted to your helmet straps to secure them in place. We posted our review of the system at the weekend. Now here's the only helmet that's currently compatible with it, the 2012 Lazer Helium.
Given that it's named after the second lightest element, the Helium is pretty burly, with our large sized sample tipping the scales at 325g. This makes the £189.99/$230 pricetag something of a surprise, given that road lids tend to get lighter the more expensive they get.
This new model hasn't changed much from the one we reviewed in 2010, save for the addition of the rubber-covered magnets. The Rollsys retention system, which uses a 'Magic Buckle' on top of the helmet to adjust fit, is unchanged, as are the 19 vents. It's available in 13 colours, from Bob Elliot & Co in the UK.
