Great review, exactly the kind of info I was looking for while I’m comparing the Z1 to the G1. Looks like you’re a new channel. Really liking the concise delivery, it’s like you have experience giving presentations!

I LOVE the forehead "notch" on my Z1. Not for the space for "higher" sunglasses. But because it allows WAAAAY more airflow thru the front of the helmet when you've got sunglasses on and doesn't inch into your eyeline when in a tuck. It's pretty cool (pun intended) when you drop into an aero position, tilt your head slightly up and then suddenly feel significant air flow over the scalp. This only becomes noticeable once you wear other helmets and come back to the Z1. Didn't realize how much I loved this feature until I went on a months long journey trying to find a replacement for my aging Z1. I went thru Bell, Giro, Kask and Bontrager helmets. None of them fit correctly and tended to be sweat boxes here in Central Texas. I went back to my Z1 and instantly realized how much more air was passing thru it than all of those other helmets. It felt refreshing. I've since ordered a replacement Z1 and won't be trying to switch brands again. I absolutely loved the Genesis model I had well over a decade ago as well.

Good review! It's interesting that you don't like the forehead notch, because it actually looks really good on you. And it helps give the helmet a little more shape, and less mushroom look, from the side. I think that notch will work for me, because I wear cycling caps in cooler weather and I find I tilt my current lid back a bit to avoid it pushing the bill over my eyes.

Top-notch video production. Thanks for the review

Really helpful review! Now I’ve gotta look through your videos for a review of the G1 so I can compare.

Thanks for the review, very useful!

Great looking helmet, Sage! Nice review!

I’m a classic rider looking for a new helmet and I’m thinking of buying this one. The reasons: de look of it mimics the old leather helmets from the past. The cutout will be perfect to wear my oldskool peugeot cap underneath. While the helmet looks slim, I hope it kind of mimics the rest of the cap.

Really like your setup and background man. Thumbs up from a small creator 😅

That's a nice looking helmet, I've still got my Giro I've had for a while, I can't justify buying a new one, but that Lazer did look nice, pricey but nice 👍🏃

Really insightful review and appreciate the expert opinion. Nice job on filming and editing the video as well. Does the cutout present any safety concerns vs. helmets that are straight across the forehead? Thanks!

Nice review Sage and that helmet is not your ordinary helmet believe me when I say it, this helmet looks good on you nice add ons yeah, the tail light at the back is an added visibility

I think the Laser looks a lot better than any other helmet I have seen and tried. That's one of the main reasons I bought it. Mine has 'MIPS' and it is light and fits well.

Great value, works perfect

Love this helmet!!

Good video. Motril, España.

I love the design of the Lazer helmets except for one item that has to do with the front cutout. It looks to me that one's forehead will require sunscreen. Everyone who's ever put sunscreen on their forehead knows that it mixes with sweat which rolls into your eyes and burns. Thoughts please? I'd like to be wrong.

what size z1 helmet?

It would have been nice if you showed us how you installed the LED light... smh

A cycling cap might help fill that forehead gap!
