Lazer Volante KinetiCore white silver matte: an aerodynamic helmet for triathlon

A streamlined triathlon helmet with KinetiCore protection

The triathlon helmet Lazer Volante KinetiCore white silver matte is an ultralight time trial helmet designed for cyclists seeking maximum aerodynamic performance. Developed using computer technology, wind tunnel tested, and race-proven, it is presented by Lazer as the fastest helmet in its range.

Its long rear section is designed around airflow to minimize drag when the rider maintains an aerodynamic position. A magnetically attached, smoked panoramic lens completes the helmet's profile and features a scratch-resistant outer film. A clear lens is also available for races held under overcast skies or in shaded conditions.

The Volante KinetiCore uses a derivative version of the Advanced TurnSys® adjustment system, breathable Polygiene® foams, and cutouts to accommodate eyeglass temples. It has a claimed weight of 350g in size M CE without lenses, which is 8% less than the previous Lazer Volante in size M CE.

Positioning

Lazer's fastest helmet

The Volante KinetiCore is presented by Lazer as the fastest helmet ever developed by the brand.

Designed for time trials

Its shape is designed for time trial specialists and triathletes riding in a stable aerodynamic position.

Developed for the fastest cyclists

Lazer positions this model as a helmet intended for competitors seeking equipment exclusively geared towards speed.

Aerodynamic design

Air-shaped profile

The overall shape of the helmet is developed around airflow in order to optimize the aerodynamic behavior of the whole.

Long rear section

The Volante KinetiCore uses a long tail designed to extend the helmet's profile towards the rider's back.

Continuity of airflow

The different surfaces are designed to work together and guide the airflow around the head and back.

Stable aerodynamic position

The long profile is particularly suited to cyclists able to maintain a steady position during exertion.

Development and validation

Computer-aided design

The helmet's shape was developed using computer design and simulation tools.

Wind tunnel tests

The Volante KinetiCore was tested in a wind tunnel to evaluate and refine its behavior in response to airflow.

Validation in competition

Lazer indicates that the helmet has also been tested in racing conditions.

Maximum aerodynamic performance

The combination of these different development phases aims to provide the highest level of aerodynamic performance offered by the brand.

Smoked panoramic lens

Extended field of vision

The helmet features a panoramic smoked lens that largely covers the area in front of the eyes.

Helmet integration

The shape of the lens follows the outer profile in order to limit breaks between the screen and the case.

Use in bright weather

The smoke tint is intended for lighting conditions appropriate for this type of lens.

Aerodynamic shape of the lens

Profile designed to reduce drag

The lens is designed to contribute to the overall aerodynamic efficiency of the helmet.

Two shape descriptions provided

The information provided describes the lens as convex in the main presentation, but also mentions an inward curvature in the detailed specifications.

Data to be verified according to version

The exact geometry of the lens must be checked on the relevant reference or in the official technical documentation, as these two formulations are different.

Scratch-resistant film

External protection

The outer surface of the lens receives a film designed to limit the appearance of scratches during use and handling.

Screen maintenance

The lens must be cleaned with suitable products and textiles in order to preserve its treatment.

Magnetic attachment

Quick installation

The lens attaches to the helmet using magnets.

Simplified withdrawal

The magnetic system allows the screen to be quickly removed when lighting conditions or the cyclist's preferences change.

Automatic positioning

The magnets guide the lens to its fixing points without requiring a complex mechanism.

Clear lens available

Covered or shaded conditions

A transparent lens is also offered for events organized in overcast weather or on courses with poor lighting.

Additional accessory

The information provided does not specify whether this clear lens is included or sold separately.

Advanced TurnSys® System

Version adapted for the Volante

The helmet uses a derivative version of Lazer's Advanced TurnSys® system.

Adjustment via dial

A dial allows you to gradually adjust how well the helmet fits around your head.

Adjustment while driving

The system is designed to be easily adjusted while the helmet is being worn.

Secure maintenance

Rotating the dial allows the helmet to be locked in a position adapted to the cyclist's morphology.

Vertical adjustment

Customizable position

The Advanced TurnSys® system allows the position of the support device to be adjusted vertically.

Adaptation to morphology

This adjustment helps to position the helmet according to the shape of the head and individual preferences.

Polygiene® ventilated foams

Interior padding

The internal foams use a Polygiene® treatment and are distributed in the areas necessary for support.

Integrated perforations

The padding has perforations designed to allow air to circulate.

Placement in front of the vents

The openings in the foam are placed opposite the ventilation areas so as not to block the passage of airflow.

Maintaining freshness

This design aims to promote ventilation of the head during sustained exertion.

Ventilation

Airflow through the foams

The perforations in the padding allow air to pass more easily through the inside of the helmet.

Integrated profile management

Ventilation is integrated into the aerodynamic shape to minimize compromises between cooling and speed.

High-intensity use

The system is designed for the prolonged efforts encountered in triathlon and time trials.

Glasses compatibility

Side recesses

The internal shape of the helmet includes recessed areas designed to accommodate the arms of glasses.

Pressure reduction

These recesses limit the pressure exerted by the branches against the sides of the head.

Use without the lens

This design allows the use of compatible glasses when the panoramic lens is not installed.

Compatible with a ponytail

Opening in the rear section

An open space is integrated into the tail of the helmet to allow for the passage of a ponytail.

Maintaining the profile

This opening is integrated without removing the long rear section characteristic of the Volante KinetiCore.

Weight

350 g in size M CE

The stated weight is 350g for a size M helmet conforming to CE certification.

Weight measured without lens

This value does not include the panoramic lens.

8% lighter

Lazer announces that the Volante KinetiCore is 8% lighter than the previous Lazer Volante in size M CE.

Reduction of plastics

30g less plastic

The Volante KinetiCore uses 30g less plastic than the previous Lazer Volante in size M CE.

Optimized construction

This reduction goes hand in hand with the work done on the weight and quantity of materials used in the helmet.

Available sizes

Size S

• Head circumference: 52 to 56 cm

Size M

• Head circumference: 55 to 59 cm

Size selection

The head circumference must be measured before selection. The ranges partially overlap to allow for a choice based on head shape and the desired level of tightness.

Difference with a short-tailed helmet

Specialized long profile

The Volante KinetiCore prioritizes a long rear section designed for cyclists to maintain a stable aerodynamic position.

Orientation towards pure performance

This architecture is more specialized than a short-tailed helmet designed to better tolerate frequent head movements.
