JUN. / 09 Tardiz . Cycling Helmet
Lazer Helmets is a Belgian company with already some 90 years of experience in the development of helmets for a wide variety of applications: cycling, motorsports, hobbies... Thanks to a winning combination of comfort, technology and design, its products are selling well in over 40 countries across the world!
Lazer’s pride and joy is the patented Rollsys, an advanced and innovative system, which assures that bicycle helmets take on the perfect fitting shape. Ultimately, it is this fitting shape that is of crucial importance for the safety and the comfort of a helmet, which are the two characteristics that promote a bicycle helmet’s main goal: protection. A small wheel on top of the helmet assures that the wearer can quickly and accurately make the helmet fit his/her head perfectly, even whilst riding.
After intensive aerodynamic research, Achilles Associates developed the Tardiz, which is an acronym for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. The Tardiz is a professional cycling helmet for time trials and triathlons. The front has a high-gloss finishing for minimal air resistance. In its turn, the shortened rear offers aerodynamic advantage.
The development of the Aqua Vent was inspired by the experiences of an Achilles employee on the hot hills of Hawaii during the Ironman triathlon. After all, increases in temperature always lead to reduced performance levels. With internal channels and cushions, the Aqua Vent assures an equal distribution of water across the head. The combination of an airflow and the water offer optimal cooling.
The Tardiz will be launched during the individual time trial in the Giro (Tour of Italy), where it will be worn by the Katusha team. www.lazer.be |
