But Lazer\u2019s mid-range mountain helmet, the Ultrax, is a great looking option for just $90(USD).<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of a helmet is to protect our heads, obviously, so I must happily admit that this helmet has yet to be crash-tested. But even if I had bit the dust, the price tag makes replacing the helmet less of a headache as well; you should always replace your helmet after any impact or a season of normal riding, whichever comes first. Plunking down $90 each year, while retaining much of the performance of pricier options, is certainly much friendlier on the wallet.<\/p>\n<p>The fit system of the Ultrax is what sets it apart from other helmets. It uses Lazer\u2019s Autofit system, a spring-loaded system that grips your head just tight enough, no adjusting necessary.
