Belgian helmet company Lazer has shifted philosophies on its aero helmets with the new Bullet. Instead of snap-on or permanent shells on top of its regular road helmets like the Z1, the Bullet has a sliding vent down the center. In addition to opening a hole in front of the forehead, the Bullet's slider tilts inner louvres for more ventilation.

"We were pushed by our pro riders for something more specifically aero than the Aeroshell helmets," said Lazer's Chris Smith. "The Bullet has a slimmer frontal profile and an elongated shape that was designed for aerodynamics with computer modeling and wind-tunnel tested."
The Bullet is still in prototype form and so there is no price or final weight yet.

Smith said the Bullet will come with two vents covers — the honeycomb piece shown above, plus a solid option.
