Lazer's $50 entry-level KinetiCore helmet - Lazer Tempo KinetiCore Cycling Helmet Review

When Lazer’s KinetiCore technology was introduced, it not only offered an integrated approach to rotation impact protection but also a more affordable design. The new Lazer Tempo KinetiCore brings that promise to fruition with an impressive $49.99 retail price that doesn’t skimp on safety features. This is Lazer’s most affordable helmet in the KinetiCore lineup and features an attractive design paired with KinetiCore. Inside the helmet you’ll find the distinctive EPS crumple zones which offer protection from rotational impacts without the need for secondary liners such as MIPS. To keep the Lazer Tempo’s price down the helmet is only offered in a one-size-fits-most (54-61cm) with a simplified TurnSys dial fit system. The helmet also features 19 vents and is compatible with Lazer’s optional Universal Rear LED and a fleece winter kit.

The Lazer Tempo KinetiCore is one of the most affordable KinetiCore helmets Lazer currently offers. Unlike other budget helmets, the Tempo looks more expensive with a shallow road cycling profile and one piece shell. Lazer offers the Tempo KinetiCore in seven gloss color variations including the Cosmic Berry we have in this review. Not only is it a creative color name, but it is an attractive deep purple that is unusual to see on helmets. Visually, the helmet is quite similar to the Lazer Tonic KinetiCore but has smaller vents and a slightly simplified vent design. The helmet has 19 vents with open air channels through the helmet to funnel air through. Curiously, there are false side vents which have cutouts in the shell which only reveal foam.

Branding on the helmet is limited to a Lazer logo on each side, in black for our Cosmic Berry color scheme, and the green KinetiCore logo on the rear. Lazer also offers a $64.99 Codax KinetiCore helmet marketed toward gravel cyclists which appears to be the Tempo helmet with the addition of an integrated visor. On the rear of the helmet you’ll also find what appears to be a USB-C slot that’s used for directly mounting Lazer’s Universal Rear LED. It’s a simple yet effective mounting design that uses flexible tabs that lock into place with a 90 degree rotation and provides additional night time visibility...
