We first saw the Lazer Revolution helmet when it was unveiled at Eurobike earlier this year. Now, with a production sample now in hand we can give you our first impressions. First, here's a recap on why you should actually care about this lid.

Two helmets in one, that's the idea with this one. Like the Bell Super 2R, the Lazer has its very own detachable chin guard and that means that it can transform into a full-face lid. Any full-face design should offer you more protection over an open face, that's a given, but the level of protection on offer here is exactly what sets the Lazer apart from the Bell. You see, the Super 2R, with its chinguard in place does not meet the full ASTM full-face safety standard.

This new Lazer does meet that standard, and for those who are fond of a faceplant that could well be the difference between a trip to the dentist or not. The price to pay for this added protection? Convenience. Unlike the clip-on interface of the Bell, the Lazer requires no less than six bolts to attach its forthcoming chin guard.
Yep, 'forthcoming' – unfortunately Lazer hasn't made it yet. Although we've previously seen mockup versions of the chin guard, it isn't actually expected to arrive until spring time.
