I know we’ve been bringing a lot of news about bike lights, and I had promised myself I’d stop for a while. That was until I saw the Lazer Urbanize, a helmet with integrated lamps that not only has the word Lazer in its name (made even more awesome by using a “z”), but that looks as if it was styled by Tron, with the influence of the original 1980s Cylons and Buck Rogers thrown in. In short, it is the coolest helmet ever.
The Urbanize can be had without lights, too, but where’s the fun in that? Front and back LEDs are integrated, although sadly they don’t scan and pulse, KITT-style, and as you’d guess from the battery requirement of a CR2032 cell, this isn’t going to light your way on a night trail ride, but keeping the lamps up top means good visibility for the drivers around you.
And while style is certainly important, the helmet is really there to protect your melon, after all. To this end it has Lazer’s Rollsys adjustment technology, which lets you roll a knob up top and adjust all the internal strapping at once. It might not be suited for the summer, with the closed-shell design it could get hot, but in the winter, whilst pretending to play Tron’s Light Cycles game, it looks fantastic.
$100, or $80 without the lights
