Building from the initial LifeBEAM Genesis, Lazer has now launched a follow up do-it-yourself add-on for the Z1, Magma, Blade and Wasp Air helmets. By replacing the rear mud cap and front brow pad, the LifeBEAM 2.0 sensor and transmitter can be retrofitted into a helmet you may already own.
Initially designed to monitor the vital signs of pilots and astronauts, the LifeBEAM system uses an optical sensor against your forehead, and reads heart rate based on the blood flowing beneath your skin.
Fitting the LifeBEAM 2.0 into a Lazer Z1 helmet takes less than five minutes, and is as simple as swapping the brow pad, running a wire through the helmet and fitting the LifeBEAM rear mud cap and transmitter. Adding 44g, the LifeBEAM kit took the total weight of our AUS/NZS 2063 Z1 to 293g – expect international versions to be a fair bit lighter.

The wire from the optical sensor follows the middle vent to the transmitter at the back of the helmet
We were a bit surprised there wasn't a cleaner solution for running the wire through the helmet, as it’s meant to follow the central vent to the back of the helmet. While it’s mostly out of the way, we used a couple of pieces of electrical tape to attach the wire to the side of the vent to prevent any possible snags.
