Lazer Unisex Road Genesis MIPS Helmet – White/Black
The Lazer Genesis MIPS is the lightest cycling helmet Lazer has ever developed, designed for uncompromising performance in road cycling. The combination of MIPS and the Advanced Rollsys System provides additional safety and a fully adjustable fit all around. Thanks to 22 ventilation openings and pronounced air channels, your head stays pleasantly cool even during long Alpine climbs. The understated White/Black look matches any setup and makes the helmet equally suitable for fast road rides as well as sporty gravel riding. Developed in collaboration with WorldTour professionals, the Genesis shows its strengths in heat, wind and changeable Swiss weather. These features have been extensively documented and confirmed by specialist media and the manufacturer.

- Two pad sets included: Race (minimal weight) and Comfort (more padding).
- Optionally compatible with Lazer Aeroshell for better aerodynamics and weather protection.
- Very low weight: practically and manufacturer-tested from approx. 189 g (without MIPS, CE) to approx. 220 g (with MIPS, size S).

Technical Details and Features
The Advanced Rollsys System wraps the helmet evenly around the head, can be finely adjusted with a top-mounted dial and offers a vertically adjustable retention cradle for individual customization. The MIPS liner acts as a movable sliding layer that can reduce rotational forces in certain crash scenarios. The lightweight in-mold construction with generous channels supports strong ventilation and keeps weight low without compromising essential safety requirements. Depending on size and certification, realistic weight specifications range from ultra-light (without MIPS) to about 220 g (with MIPS, S); this makes the Genesis one of the lightest production road helmets with additional protection. Antimicrobial padding and the included Race and Comfort pads allow you to choose between maximum lightness or noticeably more cushioning. For changing conditions, the optional Aeroshell can close the front and side openings to increase aerodynamics and weather protection.
Applications and Benefits
On the road, the Genesis MIPS plays to its strengths on long passes, at high speeds and in summer heat, when efficient cooling and low weight are crucial. On gravel routes, it scores with its fully adjustable fit and secure hold even on rough terrain. Those riding in winter or rain benefit from the Aeroshell option, which noticeably reduces wind and precipitation. The ponytail-friendly ARS construction makes handling easier with longer hair and ensures a clean fit under a cap. Together with the selectable pad sets, comfort can be fine-tuned for short sprints as well as five-hour rides. You can tell the design was created with WorldTour experience from the practical details and understated appearance.
Size and Fit
For the right size, measure your head circumference and match it to the three levels S (approx. 52–56 cm), M (approx. 55–59 cm) and L (approx. 58–61 cm). The Advanced Rollsys System then allows millimeter-precise fine-tuning, while the vertically adjustable retention cradle avoids pressure points. Those seeking the lightest possible feel should choose the Race pads; for longer distances, the Comfort pads provide additional padding. The strong ventilation with 22 openings supports a noticeably dry scalp without compromising fit. Overall, this creates a cycling helmet that wears unobtrusively, sits securely and remains versatile in Switzerland from hot summer to transitional weather. When needed, aerodynamics and weather protection can be specifically increased with the Aeroshell.
What the experts say
"It's Lazer's lightest helmet yet, and according to one independent test lab, the MIPS version is the safest road helmet tested to date.','context':'Introduction on the new helmet and its safety rating"
The reviewer finds the Lazer G1 Genesis MIPS to be Lazer's lightest and most comfortable top-tier helmet yet, with a top safety score from Virginia Tech. Ventilation is its main weak point due to the MIPS liner, and head coverage and retention system have some drawbacks. Overall the reviewer recommends it as a comfortable, stylish helmet.

Le Lazer Genesis séduit par sa légèreté (195 g), son excellente ventilation et son design sobre. Le système de serrage Advanced Rollsys System est jugé peu intuitif, mais le reviewer le recommande aux cyclistes réguliers et compétiteurs recherchant un casque léger et sûr avec MIPS.

Other reviews in different languages
Le testeur juge le Lazer Genesis 2020 excellent, avec une fabrication de grande qualité, un système d'ajustement Rollsys efficace et sans pression, et une bonne ventilation pour un casque léger de 239 grammes en taille M avec MIPS. Il regrette une finition avant jugée trop plate et une pièce de jonction des sangles qui glisse avec le temps.
Der Lazer Genesis ist ein sehr leichter Rennradhelm mit 206 Gramm in Größe M, der auf dem Kopf kaum auffällt. Das Einstellrad sitzt gut zu bedienen, hält aber nicht ganz so fest wie bei Helmen mit Rad am Hinterkopf. Die optionale Aeroshell bietet laut Test guten Schutz vor Wind und Regen, ist aber in der Trikottasche etwas sperrig.
