Lumos Road & Commuter Helmet MIPS with Magnetic Rear Light Mount
Product description
What’s included and compatibility: The package contains the helmet with its built-in retention system, OptiGrip eyewear dock and a magnetic rear-light mounting interface. The helmet is compatible with Lumos-style magnetic lights (sold separately) that click into the rear mount for added visibility during low-light rides.
Construction and materials: Constructed from an EPS foam impact liner bonded to a polycarbonate outer shell, with comfortable internal padding and a micro-adjust dial for sizing. The helmet houses an integrated MIPS rotational protection layer for extra management of oblique impacts.
Weight and ventilation: Weighing in at roughly 350 g (varies by size), the shell features 14 optimized vents and internal channels to encourage airflow and help keep your head cool on sunny or prolonged outings.
Fit and sizing: Available in common road/commuter sizes — for example S (≈52–56 cm), M (≈56–58 cm) and L (≈58–62 cm) — with an easy-to-use rear dial and adjustable strap to fine-tune the fit for most riders.
Use case and everyday features: Designed for commuting, coffee rides, weekend cruising and casual road cycling. Practical touches like the OptiGrip eyewear slot and the magnetic light dock make daily wear and short stops more convenient while improving visibility from day into night.

Solid, easy to use and the light is handy
Comfortable, easy to tighten and the clip works smoothly. The flashing rear light charges easily and snaps on magnetically.

Good visibility, strap runs tight
The magnetic rear light is bright and boosts visibility. Chin strap felt a bit tight on my larger head but stretches to the limit and was acceptable.

Jeffery 5/5
Great performance, but not the color I ordered
Helmet performs well and the retention dial is excellent. I asked for black but received a pink shell with a decorative stripe — looks nice, just not what I wanted.

Nice helmet, not for elongated head shapes
Lightweight with MIPS and a good finish, but my long-shaped head felt pressure at front and rear. Better for rounder head profiles.
