Lazer Athletes & Teams

In 2024 Ridley Bikes introduced its brand new independently managed off-road team. Ridley Racing Team, featuring Spanish champion Felipe Orts and Daan Soete, will take on the fast-paced world of cyclocross. Beyond cyclocross, the team will also compete in the world’s premier gravel races.

Both Ridley Bikes and Lazer are Belgian based brands, a partnership between Lazer and the new team seemed inevitable.

Lazer was there from the very start to help make the lift-off a success and will continue to provide the team with the best materials needed for their off-road challenges.

Lazer, known for its high-quality and innovative cycling helmets, has partnered with the Pauwels Sauzen - Cibel Clementines Cyclocross Team to provide them with top-of-the-line protective gear for the challenging and demanding cyclocross races. The team has been performing exceptionally well and has relied on our technology and design to keep them safe and performing at their best. The partnership has allowed us to showcase its products in the exciting and fast-paced world of cyclocross, while also providing the team with the best equipment to help them achieve their goals.

The partnership with the Belgian Cycling Federation is a natural fit, given our roots in Belgium and its long-standing commitment to providing top-quality products to the cycling community. The partnership allows us to showcase our products at the biggest cycling events in the world, including Pro races, World Championships, and European Championships. This partnership helps to further establish Lazer as a leading brand in the cycling industry and solidifies its commitment to supporting the Belgian cycling community.

We have a strong partnership with the Royal Dutch Cycling Union (KNWU) as they aim to support all forms of cycling in the Netherlands. This partnership includes support during professional races, World championships, and European championships. We provide the KNWU with cutting-edge helmet technology, ensuring the safety and comfort of the riders while they compete at the highest level. The KNWU's relationship with Lazer is a testament to the company's commitment to advancing the sport of cycling in the Netherlands. The KNWU's endorsement of Lazer is a sign of the quality and trust in the brand. This is a proud moment for us.

Over the years, British Cycling has enjoyed great success wearing Lazer helmets with many medals won, on the track and road.

Lazer and Tim Celen have a strong partnership, with Lazer providing him with high-quality helmets. Tim Celen has been able to achieve significant success on the international stage while wearing our helmets, including winning the World Championship on the road a couple of times. The collaboration is a testament to our commitment to supporting and developing the careers of talented and dedicated para-cyclists like Celen.

Formed in 2022, the brand new Yeti / Shimano EP Racing Team features renowned MTB athletes Mick Hannah and Keegan Wright. Both athletes have many great accomplishments in the downhill world, and confidently transferred this knowledge to the E-Enduro World Series in 2022. In a discipline where athletes are pushed to the limit on both downhill and technical climbs, safety is key. Lazer ensures this safety by providing helmets that suit the riders best, such as Cage KinetiCore - the first ever 5-star rated full-face helmet on Virginia Tech.

In addition, the team has and will continue to be an integral part of Lazer’s product development. After several tests, weighing, and measuring processes. There is no better way to really put a helmet to test than letting an experienced pro-athlete that has been racing since 2001, wear it. Mick Hannah provides valuable feedback on both launched and soon-to-be launched helmets, allowing Lazer to adjust where necessary.
