It&#8217;s the same construction that you\u2019ll see on the more popular helmets in the Lazer lineup. Visually, it gives the helmet a pronounced line where the two shells meet, breaking up the shape and giving it a little more character than the usual smooth commuter blob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&quot; viewBox=&quot;0 0 2560 1920&quot;&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Lazer Blade Review side back\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-419405\" style=\"object-fit:full\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--297x223.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--1200x900.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Lazer Blade Review side back\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-419405\" style=\"object-fit:full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--297x223.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-side-back--1200x900.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-understated-amp-classic-nbsp\">Understated &amp; Classic&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blade looks modern without screaming \u201crace day only,\u201d or \u201cI take myself too seriously,\u201d which is probably the point.

The fit is handled by the brand\u2019s Advanced TurnSys system, which allows both horizontal and vertical adjustment. It&#8217;s super easy to use with or without gloves and has a satisfyingly deep click.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also a new strap divider designed to keep the straps sitting clean and consistent.

For those who are new to Lazer and KinetiCore, let me catch you up. Instead of adding a separate slip-plane liner, KinetiCore is built directly into the helmet structure using internal crumple zones designed to help redirect impact energy away from the head. The crumple zones are super easy to see on the inside of the helmet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That integrated approach is central to Lazer\u2019s current helmet lineup. The brand says it reduces material use, helps keep weight down, and improves ventilation compared to designs that rely on extra internal layers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&quot; viewBox=&quot;0 0 2560 1920&quot;&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Lazer Blade Review weight size medium\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-419407\" style=\"object-fit:full\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--297x223.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--1200x900.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Lazer Blade Review weight size medium\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-419407\" style=\"object-fit:full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--297x223.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-weight-size-medium--1200x900.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Blade KinetiCore, the claimed weight is 250g for a medium, and ours came in at 245g, 5 g under.

I can firmly say that it doesn\u2019t fit into one camp; it&#8217;s for sure not an aero helmet, and thats a good thing. It&#8217;s a solid all-rounder. Coming from mostly wearing performance headwear, during the season, checking out the Lazer Blade was a nice change of pace.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fit is excellent, and I wear a medium, just like my Lazer Z1. The biggest difference I noticed compared to my other Lazer lids was the new strap divider. It feels similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/review-specializeds-new-evade-4-heavier-but-much-cooler-still-fast\/\">Specialized Evade 4 that we just reviewed. <\/a>They fit over my ears nicely and stayed very close to the face, but not uncomfortably.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&quot; viewBox=&quot;0 0 2560 1920&quot;&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Lazer Blade Review padding close up\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-419403\" style=\"object-fit:full\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--297x223.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--1200x900.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Lazer Blade Review padding close up\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-419403\" style=\"object-fit:full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--297x223.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-padding-close-up--1200x900.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-but-not-everything\">But Not Everything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the new Lazer Blade offers a ton of value for the price, some aspects left me wanting. The first thing I noticed when switching from my Lazer Z1 was the middle line airflow. The center of the Blade is slightly underserved for ventilation. There are ample vents, but none seem to channel to the middle of the head. It&#8217;s not uncomfortable, but it&#8217;s notable when switching from a helmet with better-designed ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweat retention was another issue. The padding, though comfortable, didn&#8217;t hold sweat as well as the Z1&#8217;s thicker, more absorbent padding. This again wasn&#8217;t a huge issue, but it can be when you look down at your head unit, and it&#8217;s like the dam broke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the good impressions outweigh the little nitpicks. After a month in the Laser Blade, I like it. I reach for it when I&#8217;m going out on mountain bike rides or gravel rides. It&#8217;s lightweight, comfortable, and I can easily put a rain cap under it when the weather is foul. Bonus: it matches all of my kits.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&quot; viewBox=&quot;0 0 2560 1440&quot;&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Lazer Blade Review Jordan Villella Riding\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-419402\" style=\"object-fit:full\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--297x167.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--120x68.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--1200x675.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--1600x900.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Lazer Blade Review Jordan Villella Riding\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-419402\" style=\"object-fit:full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--297x167.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--120x68.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--1200x675.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lazer-Blade-Review-Jordan-Villella-Riding--1600x900.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-take-away\">Take Away<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That price is probably the biggest win here.
