For big mountain trails, local trail centre loops or crushing it at an Enduro race, the Kortal MTB Helmet has been created to keep you as safe as possible when it all goes a bit wrong. The extended protection zones give outstanding coverage of your head, absorbing impacts no matter which way you're ejected from your bike. Ventilation is excellent too, contributing to keeping you cooler on climbs between enduro stages and when tackling tough uphill trail sections. The updated POC Kortal MIPS helmet is now available Ready to Roll Not just safe, the Kortal is also full of features to make your ride better. With an easy-to-adjust fit system, you can get comfort levels dialled in perfectly and the adjustable peak lets you tailor the sun and rain protection to your liking. The peak is adjustable, allowing you to pull up goggles and sunglasses easily. If you do wear goggles, POC have ensured no ventilation ports are covered by the strap, maintaining excellent airflow at all times. The rear ventilation holes are also shaped so that sunglasses can be securely stored in them. While designed primarily for mountain biking, the helmet is also certified to the Dutch NTA 8776 electric bicycle helmet standard, the only such standard in the world. So be it fully human-powered or with some electrical assist, this is a mountain bike helmet you can trust.
Weight x Safety POC started with their renowned Ventral Air helmet and through careful engineering have been able to save overall weight while also making the Ventral Lite Road Cycling Helmet more rigid and preserving the excellent crash protection of the original. The Polycarbonate shell is also lighter, covering less of the liner to keep the weight as low as possible. This same minimalist approach is also applied to the straps and adjustment system to shed yet more weight. POC Protection Despite the drive to minimise weight you can still be confident in the head protection the Ventral Lite offers. The EPS liner features multi-density zones to deliver targetted head protection should you crash. As mentioned above, a polycarbonate unibody shell is placed in key areas to enhance safety and helmet integrity as well as durability. The straps are also anchored to the helmet for a greater degree of hold in the event of a crash. Lastly, a lightweight size adjustment system makes adjustment easy and keeps the helmet locked in place, vital should you take a fall. Fast and Cool The Ventral Lite has the same focus on smooth airflow and excellent ventilation as its Ventral Air sibling. The efficient vent design and internal air channels are the results of CDF analysis. Minimal air turbulence keeps aero performance high, while precisely placed intake and exhaust vents suck air through internal channels, turbocharging the cooling performance of the helmet. Whether it's a high-speed ride on the flat or toiling up a hot climb this precision venting works to keep you cooler and sweat-free.
Brain-protecting MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology is at the heart of the POCito Kid's Crane MIPS Cycling Helmet. This is a proven safety system that reduces the rotational forces on the brain when you're involved in a crash. The forces are absorbed and redirected to prevent them from being transmitted to the brain. MIPS Integra Technology The MIPS Integra system brings together POC's 'whole-helmet' safety and design ethos with the 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 integrated safety, comfort, ventilation, aerodynamics, 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. Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here Built Tough. Just Like them. A dual-density EPS foam core also works to absorbs impact forces, compressing and distorting to shield your head from harm. A durable outer shell, directly moulded to the inner, also provides the toughness to take on the frequent use and demands of younger bike riders. It's a helmet ideal for riders who ride hard and treat their equipment just as hard too.
The distinctive design of the Octal MIPS Road Helmet is the first thing to catch the eye. But function and form are closely linked here, with ventilation, comfort and protection intertwined perfectly to create both a high level of performance and an eye-catching design. Safe to its Core At the heart of the performance is the safety provided by the combination of shock-absorbing EPS foam core, made thicker in more vulnerable areas, and MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology. In the event of a crash both work hand in hand to absorb and dissipate harmful impacts to the head and brain. The protection is further heightened by the extended coverage over the temples and at the back of the head. A unibody outer shell wraps the inner core, enhancing both durability and structural integrity all while minimising weight.

Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here Go With the Flow Protection is of course paramount. But comfort is also vital, and here the Octal MIPS excels. Firstly, large forward airflow vents are engineered to draw in air, internal channels keep the flow smooth and large exhaust vents dispel warm damp air. Cooling airflow is the result. POC also use Coolbest padding inside. This temperature-regulating pad minimises temperature build-up at the helmet-to-head contact points. Lastly, a lightweight size adjustment system makes getting the right fit remarkably quick and easy. The right fit means greater comfort and more security should you fall.
