An advanced all-mountain helmet, the Tectal Race MIPS Helmet feels fantastic to wear when you're enjoying the thrills and heart-pumping exhilaration of going full speed down MTB trails. And should you push your capabilities just a bit too far, the superb range of protective features add safety should you take a tumble. Take on The Trails with Confidence The construction method of the Tectal race is borrowed from POC's groundbreaking Octal road cycling helmet. This sees a tough unibody shell bonded to a shock-absorbing EPS liner. The shell provides durable protection against minor knocks and in the event of a more serious fall enhances structural integrity. An Aramid bridge system, first seen in POC’s proven and award-winning Trabec helmet also allow POC to further enhance structural stability and improve penetration protection. At the core of the helmet is the EPS foam liner. This is the layer that soaks up harder head impacts during a fall. The density and thickness vary in order to optimise protection where it's needed most. The design of the Tectal Race also sees greater coverage specifically tailored for mountain biking. This gives extra protection across the temples and back of the head, so you're covered if you go over the bars or off the back. And if that wasn’t enough, a RECCO® Reflector lets emergency services scan for you should you become lost on a backcountry mountain biking adventure. MIPS Integra Head Protection Solution The Tectal Race also features the MIPS Integra system. This brings together POC's 'whole-helmet' safety and design ethos with the fully integrated brain-protecting technology of MIPS. This holistic approach sees every detail of the helmet engineered to work in harmony with each other, giving you new levels of seamless safety, comfort, ventilation, fit and function. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.

In fact, they've used wind-tunnel testing to get the airflow just right, so whether going fast or slow, you'll enjoy fresh air over your head. 360-degree Fit System In order to keep the Tectal in place, you’ll find POC’s lightweight 360° fit system. This offers an easy-to-operate and precise fit, ensuring your helmet remains comfortable when riding and stays securely in place in the event of a crash.

POC Ventral SPIN HelmetIntroducing the finest aerodynamic performance the road has ever seen! The POC Ventral Spin Helmet welcomes the expert opinion of professional riders and has been thoroughly tested in the WATTS Lab to ensure speed, safety and high-end ventilation.Digging deep into their extensive knowledge and working with the Cannondale – drapac Pro Cycling Team to create what will certainly set the benchmark for road helmets, POC have gone all out with the Ventral Spin. Sporting a unique design to shred time off your personal best, this stylish lid leads air through the head rather than around it to reduce wake and boost your aerodynamic performance. There is the inclusion of airflow zones to create a range of different pressure points, increasing airflow and speed which delivers air around the head more efficiently. Known as the Venturi effect, your next ride is certain to be one of the coolest ones yet.With their high-end ventilation improving performance and comfort, it is fair to say the Ventral Spin Helmet really is one of the finest forms of protection on the market. Keeping you free from sweat and the build-up of odours, it also allows for residual air to travel over and around the lid. This is an impressive ability that is controlled by the aerodynamically optimised trailing edge to help limit turbulence, generating a longer linear airflow off both rider and helmet. Helping to add another dimension of raw speed to your ride, breaking up the road and saying goodbye to the peloton will leave you in the perfect position come the big sprint finish.Unrivalled SafetyIt’s not just speed that graces your ride when partnering with the Ventral Spin. Unlike many competitors who deploy the MIPS protection system, POC have created their own added layer of safety, a patent-pending rotational impact protection system known as SPIN. Reducing the effects of an oblique fall by limiting the amount of force transmitted to the head and brain, the Ventral also uses innovative and unique pad technology to make this the safest ride you have ever had. Sitting comfortably on your head to shear in each and every direction during impact, SPIN pads provide the ultimate form of protection, moving with the head during any unexpected falls. With the direct force transmitted to the head during falls reduced, POC have inspired your trip with supreme confidence.Lightweight ComfortOffering a helmet so lightweight you’re bound to forget it’s on your head, the Ventral Spin sports a fully wrapped unibody shell construction and an EPS liner for optimised weight and safety. Not leaving a single stone unturned in their quest for greatness, POC’s lightweight adjustment system and ergonomic precision strap allow you to customise your fitting on the go. Should the sun start to shine, there is also a new eye garage for glasses.Features:Unique aerodynamic design optimised with CFD testing for enhanced aerodynamic performance and minimal air turbulenceAccelerated airflow zones, inspired by the venturi effect, to reduce fluid dragExtreme cooling and ventilation due to innovative airflow designFeatures POC’s patent pending rotational impact protection system, SPINHigh-performance EPS liner with targeted and optimised density to provide the ideal balance of low weight and crash protectionFully wrapped unibody shell construction to increase safety and helmet integrityLightweight size adjustment system for a personalised fitEasily adjustable precision straps moulded into the helmet liner for extra comfort and safetyEye garage to keep your sunglasses securely in position when placed on the helmetUsed and preferred by Cannondale – drapac Pro Cycling TeamBuy POC Helmets from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
If you're tackling more technical mountain bike trails, with more challenging terrain testing your skills, the Spine VPD Air Back Protector will offer back protection should the trail get the better of you. The Level 1 protection standard gives you assurance it has been tested and certified to a recognised standard. In use, this exacting level of protection allows no more than 18 kN of force to be transmitted in the event of an impact. When you're riding you don't want too many distractions and this is certainly the case with your body armour. In order to maintain comfort, the Spine VPD Air protector is encased in a 3D mesh, giving a boost to both ventilation and sweat-management. Adjustability is also excellent. The shoulder straps are highly adjustable and feature a sternum strap to keep the protector secure. The waistband is also adjustable up and down to dial in the fit. And if you feel it's not necessary, the waistband is also removable.
As you dive into fun singletrack, test your skills on technical trails and take to the air across big gaps that raise your heart rate, it's good to know the Axion MIPS Helmet has your head safely covered. Durable. Light. Protective. The first line of defence is the combination of a tough but lightweight Unibody shell and an energy-dissipating EPS foam liner. The outer not only brushes off overhanging bushes and branches during normal trail riding but in the event of a crash, it maintains structural integrity. At the same time, the EPS foam inner liner absorbs the damaging forces of head impacts. Both work in tandem to prevent injury to your head when you fall. You also have the benefit of POC's patented adjustable breakaway peak. This comes away from the helmet during a crash, reducing harmful forces transmitted to the neck. Extended zones around the temples and back of the head also give you extra protection in high-risk areas. MIPS Integra Head Protection Solution The Axion also features the MIPS Integra system. This brings together POC's 'whole-helmet' safety and design ethos with the fully integrated brain-protecting technology of MIPS.

Cool Trails With the structural strength of the Unibody construction, POC have been able to optimise vent size without compromising on safety. With large intake and exhaust vents, and the integrated MIPS system working seamlessly with the inner air channels, you'll enjoy fresh airflow over the head. You can also be confident of a cool head as your mountain bike ride hots up.
