While the proverb “you can’t have your cake and eat it too” typically holds true, thanks to technological improvements sometimes there are new products that break the rules. Case in point, we have the new Lazer Vento KinetiCore helmet in this review which is Lazer’s flagship road cycling helmet with KinetiCore rotational impact protection. According to Lazer, it’s 29% lighter, 2.3% more aerodynamic, and provides 5.4% better cooling and ventilation than its predecessor the Lazer Bullet 2.0. The $299.99 Vento KinetiCore has achieved an impressive 5 star Virginia Tech Rating thanks to the KinetiCore rotational impact protection system. It’s a new proprietary safety design from Lazer that utilizes controlled crumple zones of EPS foam and is directly integrated into the shell of the helmet. Other notable features of the Vento is the top mounted ScrollSys belt adjustment system and compatibility with Lazer’s Universal LED taillight.
If the Lazer Vento KinetiCore helmet looks familiar to you, it’s likely because you’ve seen it on Zwift where it replaced the Lazer Bullet helmet. The distinctive rear ScrollSys belt design and tapered rear profile makes the helmet instantly recognizable. Lazer offers the Vento KinetiCore in four color schemes, we have the white color scheme but there is also a black/green, black, and a matte gray option. Although the Vento has understated color scheme options, especially compared to helmets like the Smith Trace, it’s an attractive design. The helmet has a multi-piece shell design that is optimized for aerodynamics and reducing weight. There is a main upper piece that extends from the front to the rear and contains the large U shaped front vents. Side panels on the helmet have the Lazer branding and the large inset side vents.
Contrasting colors on the inset side vents as well as dimpled edging give the helmet a distinctive appearance and funnel air through two concealed vents in the rear. There is a final piece that extends around the rim of the shell and has a black contrasting color for our white helmet. The Vento has 13 vents in total with most of those concentrated on the rear. Lazer has also listened to customer feedback from previous helmets and integrated eyewear storage into the side vents along with black silicone pads to help keep them in place. The vent placement of the helmet is similar to other aero helmets like the POC Ventral Spin or Bolle Furo MIPS. Compared to other KinetiCore helmets like the Lazer Strada KinetiCore, we think the Vento is sleeker and more unique in appearance...
