"Some of the safest mountain bike helmets on the market use a rotational impact liner from MIPS, or another in-house, proprietary system that achieves the same result. Thanks to the focus on rotational impact protection research, helmet manufacturers are recognizing the importance of safeguarding riders from both low and high-speed crashes, as well as the effects of rotational forces during these impacts."
"The Impala KinetiCore features its own flavor of rotational impact protection through what Lazer calls "Controlled Crumple Zones." These zones, made of varying-density foam that are built into the helmet, deform under pressure to redirect energy away from the head, resulting in a helmet that is both lighter and stronger, more breathable, and reduces plastic use thanks to the absence of a plastic liner to handle the rotational impact."
Lazer's Impala KinetiCore is a MTB half-shell helmet available in S/M/L, weighing 370 g (medium) and priced at 199.99 EUR/USD. The helmet uses KinetiCore Controlled Crumple Zones: varying-density foam built into the shell that deforms to redirect energy and manage rotational forces, producing a lighter, stronger, and more breathable helmet without a separate plastic MIPS liner. The design aims to preserve ventilation and comfort across hair styles while reducing plastic use. Color options include Matte Coral Peach, Matte Black, Matte Mahogany, Space Blue, White Mint variants, Dark Green Mint, and Full White. A universal light/cam mount is included.
