Lazer enters the high-end gravity range with the new A-Line KinetiCore carbon

Lazer expands its MTB catalog with a helmet designed for the most extreme disciplines. The Belgian brand has just introduced the new A-Line KinetiCore, a full carbon model developed for downhill, freeride, and enduro that marks its full entry into the premium segment of gravity helmets.

Carbon shell and DualCore technology: this is the new Lazer A-Line KinetiCore

Designed in collaboration with riders and specialists in these modalities, the new A-Line KinetiCore has been conceived to meet the demands of modern circuits, where speed, increasingly technical terrains, and the need for maximum protection have significantly raised the level of equipment used by riders.

Carbon shell and ASTM certification for maximum protection

The base of the new helmet is a lightweight shell made entirely of carbon that, according to the brand, allows for a combination of low weight with high structural resistance. The helmet also features ASTM Downhill certification, one of the reference standards for helmets intended for downhill competition.

Lazer has opted for a firm and stable fit to prevent unwanted movement during the most aggressive descents. The goal is to keep the helmet perfectly secured even in very rough areas, jumps, or repeated impacts.

KinetiCore evolves with the new DualCore technology

Inside is the KinetiCore technology, Lazer's proprietary protection system designed to reduce both the effects of direct impacts and rotational forces.

For this model, the brand also introduces an evolution called DualCore. The system combines two different densities of EPS foam to optimize energy absorption in different types of impacts.

The softer, lower-density layer is positioned closer to the head and is aimed at better managing rotational forces. Meanwhile, the outer layer of higher density absorbs the energy from direct impacts before it reaches the rider's brain.

Details designed for competition

Beyond protection, the A-Line KinetiCore incorporates several elements specifically focused on competitive use.

Among them, the quick-release cheek pads stand out, which facilitate the safe removal of the helmet after a fall, an aspect especially valued in gravity disciplines.

It also features a fixed visor designed to remain stable at high speeds and compatible with the installation of cameras under the visor itself. Additionally, it has a more flexible lower edge designed to improve collarbone protection in case of impact.

Lazer has also integrated a retention system for glasses that helps keep them in position during the most demanding descents and prevents movements that could affect the rider's vision.

Available in five sizes and three finishes

The new Lazer A-Line KinetiCore is already available through the brand's network of distributors and on its official website.
