Lazer Sphere MIPS Helmet – White (Unisex)

The Lazer Sphere MIPS is a versatile road and gravel helmet for cyclists who switch daily between commuting, training rides, and alpine passes throughout Switzerland. Its Advanced Rollsys® (ARS) adjustment system wraps around the entire head and enables precise, pressure-point-free adjustment – even with a ponytail. MIPS provides additional protection by reducing rotational forces during a crash, while 18 ventilation openings and internal channels keep your head noticeably cool. Practical details like eyewear docking, thinner straps, reflective stickers, and compatibility with the Aeroshell round out the package; weight is approximately 280g depending on size (Size S, EN 1078).

  • 18 efficiently placed ventilation openings with continuous air channels for strong airflow in riding position.
  • MIPS rotational protection for enhanced safety in angled impact scenarios.
  • Advanced Rollsys® (ARS) with height-adjustable Head Basket for 360° fit without pressure points.
  • Aeroshell-compatible: Snap-on cover for weather protection and aerodynamic advantages.
  • Thoughtful eyewear docking openings for secure sunglasses storage.
  • Reflective stickers increase visibility in twilight and on poorly lit roads.
  • Robust In-Mold construction with polycarbonate roll cage and protective bottom shell.
  • Weight approximately 280g (Size S) and EN 1078 certification for European use.
  • Sizes S (52–56 cm), M (55–59 cm), L (58–61 cm), and XL (61–64 cm), ponytail-friendly design.
  • Optional Universal LED rear light as an add-on for increased visibility.

Technical Details and Features

The ARS adjustment system sits on top of the helmet and distributes tension evenly around the entire head circumference, avoiding hot spots and allowing fine adjustment of fit while riding. The height-adjustable Head Basket additionally allows vertical adjustment, which is particularly helpful with winter caps or different head shapes. The ventilation architecture was designed for the typical riding position with approximately 15° head tilt, so air is actively channeled from front to back through the helmet. In addition to the In-Mold construction, an internal polycarbonate roll cage protects the EPS structure, while the bottom shell preserves the material from cosmetic damage. For wet or cold days, the Aeroshell can be clipped on, closing front and side openings and positively affecting both weather protection and aerodynamics. The eyewear docking openings are form-fitted so glasses sit securely during breaks.

Applications and Benefits

Whether it's quick laps around Lake Zurich, long rides over Swiss alpine passes, or the daily commute to work: the Sphere MIPS feels equally at home on road and gravel. In rain and cold, the Aeroshell increases comfort and protects the head from drafts, while reflective stickers create additional presence at dusk. Thanks to MIPS and the stable construction, the helmet scores on safety without being unnecessarily heavy – practical on long tours and frequent climbs. The ponytail-friendly construction and finely adjustable ARS make fitting easier for a wide variety of head shapes. Independent tests indicate that fit and noise perception can vary depending on head and riding position – a fitting or short test ride is therefore recommended.

Sizes, Certification and Weight

The helmet is offered by the manufacturer in sizes S (52–56 cm), M (55–59 cm), L (58–61 cm), and XL (61–64 cm), covering a broad spectrum. EN 1078 compliance makes it the right choice for use in Europe; additionally, the US version meets CPSC standards. Weight is approximately 280g (Size S) depending on size and version, with small variations due to production or size differences. The thinner straps and ARS contribute to a stable fit without compromising ventilation. For Swiss conditions – from hot summer days to cool transitional seasons – the combination of Aeroshell option and efficient ventilation is particularly practical.

Accessories and Care

Useful accessories include the perfectly fitting Aeroshell for the Sphere, which protects in rain and cold or provides aerodynamic advantages when needed. Also available are replacement pads and a Universal LED rear light that increases visibility in city traffic. For care, lukewarm water with mild soap is sufficient; harsh solvents should be avoided to keep plastics and EPS intact. After a significant impact, the helmet should always be inspected and replaced if visible damage is present. Store the helmet dry and UV-protected so materials and padding retain their function for a long time.
