2. Consignes de sécurité
Your safety is paramount. Always wear your helmet correctly and ensure it is properly fitted before every ride. This helmet is designed to reduce the risk of head injury in certain types of impacts, but it cannot protect against all possible impacts. No helmet can protect the wearer from all foreseeable impacts.
- Bon ajustement : Ensure the helmet fits snugly and comfortably. It should not move freely on your head. Refer to the "Fitting Your Helmet" section for detailed instructions.
- Ajustement de la sangle : Always secure the chin strap tightly so that the helmet cannot be pulled off your head.
- Protection contre les chocs : The MIPS system is designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain angled impacts. However, it does not guarantee protection against all types of impacts.
- Dommage: Inspect your helmet for any signs of damage before each use. If the helmet has sustained an impact, even if no visible damage is present, it should be replaced immediately. The structural integrity may be compromised.
- Produits chimiques : Do not expose the helmet to solvents, paints, or other chemicals, as these can damage the helmet's materials and compromise its protective capabilities.
- Stockage: Rangez le casque dans un endroit frais et sec, à l'abri de la lumière directe du soleil et des températures extrêmes.

4. Setup and Fitting Your Helmet
Achieving a correct fit is crucial for the helmet's effectiveness.
4.1. Dimensionnement
Measure your head circumference approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) above your eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart below to select the appropriate helmet size. If your measurement falls between two sizes, it is generally recommended to try the smaller size first for a snugger fit.
| Taille de la marque | Head Circumference (CM) | Head Circumference (IN) |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 50 - 54 | 19.7 - 21.2 |
| S | 52 - 56 | 20 1/2 - 22 |
| M | 55 - 59 | 21 2/3 - 23 2/9 |
| L | 58 - 61 | 22 5/6 - 24 |
| XL | 61 - 64 | 24 - 25 1/5 |
| Taille unique | 54 - 61 | 21 1/4 - 24 |
4.2. Ajustement de l'ajustement
- Positionnez le casque : Place the helmet squarely on your head so that the front edge is approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) above your eyebrows. It should sit level, not tilted back or forward.
- Adjust the ARS Fit System: The LAZER G1 MIPS features the Advanced Rollsys System (ARS). Locate the dial on the top of the helmet. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten the fit system, drawing the helmet snugly around your head. Turn counter-clockwise to loosen. Adjust until the helmet feels secure without causing uncomfortable pressure points.
- Ajustez les sangles : The side straps should form a "V" shape just below your ears. Adjust the strap sliders to ensure this position.
- Fixez la boucle : Fasten the chin strap buckle. Tighten the strap until it is snug under your chin. You should be able to open your mouth wide, but the strap should not be loose enough to allow the helmet to shift significantly.
- Vérifiez l'ajustement : Once adjusted, try to move the helmet from side to side and front to back. It should feel snug and move your scalp slightly. If it slides easily, readjust the ARS system and straps.

5. Utilisation de votre casque
The LAZER G1 MIPS helmet is designed for straightforward use once properly fitted.
5.1. Ventilation
The G1 MIPS helmet features 22 strategically placed vents and internal air channels to maximize airflow and keep your head cool during rides. No manual adjustment is required for the ventilation system; it operates passively.
Figure 5.1: The G1 MIPS helmet's design emphasizes premium ventilation and lightweight construction.
5.2. MIPS Technology
The integrated MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts. This system works automatically upon impact and requires no user interaction.
5.3. Riding with the Helmet
Always wear your helmet when cycling. Ensure the fit is secure and comfortable before beginning your ride. The lightweight design and advanced fit system are intended to provide comfort even on long rides.

6. Maintenance et entretien
Proper care will extend the life of your helmet and maintain its protective qualities.
- Nettoyage du casque : Use only mild soap and water to clean the helmet's exterior and interior padding. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the helmet's materials, including the shell, EPS foam, and MIPS layer.
- Tampons de nettoyage : The internal padding can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow pads to air dry completely before reinserting them into the helmet.
- Stockage: Store your helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it in a car on a hot day, as excessive heat can damage the EPS foam.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of wear, cracks, dents, or other damage to the shell, straps, buckle, or fit system. If any damage is found, the helmet should be replaced.
7. Dépannage
Cette section aborde les problèmes courants que vous pourriez rencontrer.
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Le casque semble lâche ou bouge sur la tête. | Improper adjustment of ARS system or straps. | Tighten the ARS dial (top of helmet) clockwise. Ensure chin strap is snug and side straps form a "V" below ears. Refer to Section 4.2. |
| Le casque est inconfortable ou provoque des points de pression. | Helmet size may be incorrect or ARS system is too tight. | Loosen the ARS dial slightly. Check if the helmet size is appropriate for your head circumference (Section 4.1). Consider using alternative padding if available. |
