Lazer's new Bullet 2.0 could make you '9 seconds faster over 1km'
This article first appeared on BikeRadar.
Lazer has released the Bullet 2.0 — an updated version of its all-round aero helmet at the Tour Down Under.
The new helmet retains the signature adjustable ‘Airslide’ central vent of the first generation model and gains a magnetic clip on visor that is claimed to offer significant aero savings.
The Bullet 2.0 debuted upon the domes of Team Sunweb and Team Jump-Visma at the Tour Down Under Classic, the precursor to the WorldTour opener on Tuesday. Sponsored teams will be using the helmet alongside the Z1 for the rest of the season.
Compared to a Lazer Z1 — an all-round, non-aero helmet — the Bullet 2.0 is claimed to offer 7 watts less resistance at (an oddly specific and oddly fast) 58.68 km/h with the vent closed and the visor fitted. If you can hold such a pace for a full kilometre, this is claimed to add up to a 9-second saving.
