Built Around KinetiCore Protection
Unlike many traditional helmet designs that require an additional internal liner, KinetiCore is engineered directly into the helmet itself.
Specially designed EPS deformation zones help manage both direct and rotational impact forces while improving airflow throughout the helmet.
The result is a helmet that is:
- Lighter
- Better ventilated
- Simpler in construction
- Uses significantly less plastic
- More environmentally friendly
without compromising everyday comfort.
One Size Really Does Fit
Finding the correct helmet size has never been easier.
The Tempo has been specifically engineered around a one-size design that comfortably fits head sizes from 54-61cm.
The internal fit system accommodates a huge variety of head shapes, making it ideal for:
- First-time cyclists
- Families
- Leisure riders
- Commuters
- Riders buying online
Simply adjust the dial and ride.
Easy TurnSys Adjustment
The Lazer TurnSys System allows you to fine-tune the fit with one hand while riding.
A simple turn of the rear dial adjusts the internal cradle evenly around your head, creating a secure and comfortable fit without pressure points.
No complicated adjustments.
No fiddly straps.
Just fast, precise comfort.
Lightweight for All-Day Comfort
Nobody wants a heavy helmet.
The Tempo KinetiCore is 22% lighter than the previous Lazer Compact M CE, making it noticeably more comfortable for longer rides.
A lighter helmet reduces neck fatigue and quickly becomes something you'll barely notice wearing.
Better for the Environment
Lazer has also reduced the environmental impact of the Tempo.
Compared with the previous Compact model it uses:
- 80 grams less plastic
while maintaining excellent protection and durability.
It's a smarter design in every sense.
Increase Your Visibility
Want extra peace of mind during winter rides or commuting?
The Tempo is compatible with the Universal Lazer LED rear light, attaching neatly via the integrated Direct Mount system.
No cable ties.
No elastic straps.
Just a clean factory-style fit.
