Lazer Sphere helmet, £119.99, lazersport. co.uk

Lazer’s latest lid enters the market as a cheaper pretender to the range-topping Genesis throne. And I like it. That’s because it’s £70 less than the Genesis helmet but has Mips all the same. Plus there are plenty of vents and though heavier – 280g plays 200g (claimed) – I’d struggle to notice the difference on my head. That said, it does feel like it sits higher than the Genesis, but I forgive it as I think I actually prefer the styling.
