Lotto-Belisol to use Latest Lazer Helmet Technology at Ronde van Vlaanderen 2013
Lazer Helium FAST Helmet is Ultimate Combination of Lightweight and Aerodynamic Performance
For 2013 the Lotto-Belisol team is equipped with the Lazer Helium helmet. Patented Lazer Rollsys retention system for easy and quick adjustment and a comfortable fit every time, 7 piece in-mold construction, dual-density EPS foam for maximum weight savings, 19 vents with internal air channels for unparalleled airflow.
At this year's Ronde van Vlaanderen Lotto-Belisol will be using the next generation in Lazer helmet technology - Helium FAST!
On the outside is the Lazer Aeroshell with the special Leeuw van Vlaanderen (Lion of Flanders) graphic to celebrate the Flemish tradition of the De Ronde. The Aeroshell also provides an aerodynamic advantage. Compared to a standard Helium helmet, the Helium with the Aeroshell in place can save between 4 and 10 watts at 45kph.
The real difference with the Helium FAST is on the inside. Thanks to the added reinforcement of the Lazer Aeroshell, less material is required in manufacturing the helmet. All outer cosmetic material is removed along with some of the foam support structure. The Helium FAST passes all testing standards but is a remarkable 56 grams lighter than the standard Lazer Helium!

With the Helium FAST there is no compromise. Unparalleled aerodynamics and incredible lightweight! Look for the Helium FAST to be available to consumers in November 2013.
Additionally, the Lotto-Belisol team is now supported with Lazer Vision Optics in 2013 including the revolutionary Magneto eyewear system. With the glasses mounting to the helmet straps via the use of magnets the Magneto system eliminates traditional eyeglasses temples that can cause pressure against the head, inhibit airflow into the helmet and around the head as well as interfere with the rear retention system of the helmet. Look for the Lotto-Belisol riders equipped with Lazer Magneto this weekend at the Ronde van Vlaanderen!
