POC Tectal MTB HelmetThe POC Tectal MTB Helmet has been designed to meet the demands of aggressive trail and enduro mountain bikers. Cutting edge protection, turbo-charged airflow and cool Scandinavian design make it a trail-slaying winner. If you're going to be riding hard, tickling the edge of tyre grip on hard turns, pushing jumps further and higher and generally going all-in on your ride, a crash is almost inevitable. It's how you progress after all. And when you do hit the ground, the Tectal MTB Helmet delivers.Take on The Trails with ConfidenceThe construction method 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 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.Cool ComfortWhen you're riding, you'll soon be building up body heat. And with it, sweat. And so POC have ensured ventilation is optimised. 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 SystemIn order to keep the Tectal in place, you’ll find POC’s lightweight 360° fit system.

POC Ventral Air SPIN HelmetThe perfect helmet for fast, hot days on the bike. POC have combined aero performance with maximum ventilation to deliver unrivalled speed and protection. Often compromising on ventilation in pursuit of aerodynamic gains, aero helmets typically are not the best for keeping a cool head in warmer conditions or hot climbs. Combining incredible airflow over the head and excellent cooling with slippery streamlining POC have created a helmet with unsurpassed performance and comfort. Using CDF analysis the Ventral has been designed to create minimal air turbulence while precisely placed intake and exhaust vents suck air through internal channels, turbocharging the cooling performance of the helmet.POC ProtectionYou can also be confident head protection isn't compromised in pursuit of venting and aerodynamic performance. The EPS liner features multi-density zones to deliver targetted crash protection and this also helps keep weight low, just 230 grams for a size medium. The unibody shell is full-wrapped enhancing safety and helmet integrity while the straps are anchored to the helmet for a greater degree of hold in the event of a crash. Lastly, a lightweight size adjustment system keeps the helmet locked in place, vital should you take a fall.SPIN (Shearing Pad INside)Unlike most of its rivals who deploy the popular MIPS technology, POC has created their very own protective system known as SPIN, a patent-pending rotational impact protection system that reduces the effects of an oblique fall by limiting the amount of force transmitted to the head and brain. Using an innovative and unique pad technology to keep you safe you'll be protected from unexpected falls and install a new level of confidence as you ride.Features:Structurally optimized helmet with precise ventilation ports and internal channels to control the air intake and release at both high and low speedsExtreme cooling and ventilation due to ports and innovative internal airflow designUnique design optimized with CFD testing for aerodynamic performance and minimal air turbulence.Features POC's patent-pending silicone pad system, SPIN (Shearing Pad INside).High-performance EPS liner with targeted and optimized density to provide the ideal balance of low weight and crash protectionFully wrapped unibody shell construction to increase safety and helmet integrityLight-weight size adjustment system for a personalized fitEasily adjustable precision straps anchored to the helmet liner for extra comfort and safetyEye garage to keep your sunglasses securely in position when placed on the helmetUsed by EF Education First Pro Cycling TeamBuy POC Helmets from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
