Riders looking to improve their aerodynamics can often end up hot-headed thanks to the inherently poor ventilation of most aero-optimised helmets. And it’s this problem that Belgian helmet brand Lazer set out to resolve with its latest road helmet, the Bullet.
- Best aero road helmets (wind-tunnel and road tested)
- How to ruin an aero helmet (don't do this)
- Aero is bunk (unless you're racing)
First previewed on BikeRadar at Eurobike 2016, the Bullet stands out in its category thanks to a unique adjustable ventilation system that allows a rider to choose between a cooler head (vent open) or maximum aero benefit (vent closed).

With its small frontal area and teardrop rear profile, the Bullet blends the familiar with the unknown in a design that appears to have gone down well with BikeRadar’s social media following. It’s a step in another direction from Lazer’s flagship Z1 road lid, which is sold with a snap-on aeroshell.
"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."
