Lazer Helmets
The outer shell is of course a key component of a motorcycle helmet, for protection and for comfort, through lower weight. Lazer has risen to the challenge in its own unique way: ultra light shells that give superior protection. This technology is named “Pure Carbon” and “Pure Glass”. It is based on proprietary weave patterns, resin formula, temperature controlled polymerisation and vacuum moulding processes. The Pure Carbon and Pure Glass technologies are not only ultra light, they also improve the protective qualities of the shell. By permeating the fibres more deeply and homogenously with special resins, they acquire gradual fracturing qualities, much like the shock absorption zones (“crumpling zones”) on cars. Gradual fracturing slows down the impact on the shell by providing consecutive yielding points, each dissipating part of the force. By way of illustration, it is the same principle as a stuntman falling on layers of cardboard boxes, each breaking his fall a bit at a time. For comfort, weight is a crucial factor. In the construction of a helmet, the outer shell is the heaviest component; therefore, it makes sense to work on lightening it. The challenge for Lazer engineers is to minimise weight without compromising protection.
