Long a staple player in the road, cyclocross, and cross-country disciplines, Lazer is turning more attention to harder-hitting mountain bike categories with the introduction of the new Revolution FF helmet. With a removable chin bar and ear covers, a built-in GoPro mount, heaps of coverage, and a low claimed weight, it promises to be the Transformers of the bike helmet world (cue sound effects here).

Protection is first and foremost on the Revolution FF, which Lazer says will pass the stringent ASTM-DH test standards when the chin bar is attached, despite being a two-piece design – something the similar Bell Super 2R does not. At least in concept, then, this means the Revolution could very well be a one-helmet solution for riders who race in multiple disciplines.

Even without the chin bar in place, the Revolution’s coverage is impressive, extending nearly all the way down to the rider’s neck at the back, and incorporating optional snap-in ear covers for even greater peace of mind. An optional MIPS-equipped Revolution FF version is in the works as well.
