Get ready for a game-changer in mountain bike safety! Lazer's Impala KinetiCore is here, and it's revolutionizing rider protection.
On November 18, 2025, Lazer unveiled its latest masterpiece, the Impala KinetiCore helmet. This helmet isn't just a piece of gear; it's a testament to the future of cycling safety. With its cutting-edge DualCore technology, Lazer has pushed the boundaries of what a helmet can do.
But here's where it gets controversial: Lazer's DualCore isn't just about protection. It's a two-layer EPS system that combines a soft, low-density inner layer for rotational impact protection with a hard, high-density outer layer to absorb direct impacts. This dual-density approach creates a helmet that's not only safer but also lighter and more comfortable. It's like having a personal bodyguard for your head!
"DualCore is the future of impact management," says Peter Duynslaeger, Lazer's General Manager. "By integrating two EPS densities, we've created a helmet that's smarter, lighter, and safer. It's a game-changer for riders everywhere."
The Impala KinetiCore builds on Lazer's award-winning KinetiCore technology, taking integrated protection to new heights. Its Controlled Crumple Zones strategically deform under pressure, redirecting energy away from the head. This innovative design results in a helmet that's both stronger and lighter, with improved ventilation and reduced plastic use.
And this is the part most people miss: the Impala KinetiCore is designed with real riders in mind. Lazer partnered with professional mountain biker Jono Jones, whose extensive testing and feedback shaped the final design. Jono put the helmet through its paces on various terrains, and he's excited to use it at the Ignition MTB Festival during launch week.
But it's not just about protection. The Impala KinetiCore is all about enhancing the rider's experience. It features recycled straps and a magnetic buckle for effortless comfort and ease of use, even with cold hands or gloves. An integrated camera mount system ensures you capture the perfect shot every time, and it's designed to snap off on impact, reducing rotational forces during a crash.
For added protection and adaptability, the helmet boasts a three-position breakaway visor that adjusts effortlessly and detaches under heavy impact to protect the rider's neck. A rear grippy panel keeps goggles securely in place, ensuring clear vision during demanding descents. And let's not forget the integrated RECCO® rescue reflector, which allows riders to be easily searchable by rescuers without any batteries or activation required.
The adjustable floating headband ensures a precise, personalized fit, while optimized ventilation keeps riders comfortable no matter the weather or terrain. With sizes ranging from S/M/L and a weight of just 370g for the M helmet, the Impala KinetiCore is a lightweight companion for every ride.
Available in a range of colors, including Matte Coral Peach, Matte Black, Matte Mahogany, and more, the Impala KinetiCore is not just a safety feature but a fashion statement. Priced at $199.99 USD, it's an investment in your safety and riding experience.
With its protection-driven design, sustainable materials, and rider-informed innovation, the Impala KinetiCore is the next step in Lazer's mission to create the world's most advanced and trusted cycling helmets. It's a helmet that riders can trust to keep them safe and comfortable on every adventure.
