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. 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. 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. 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.

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.
Aerodynamic performance, safety and ventilation do not need to come at the expense of each other. By using our whole-helmet approach to development, we have been able to deliver unparalleled levels of aerodynamic performance, safety and ventilation without compromise in the Ventral SPIN. Taking inspiration from the Venturi effect, the helmet’s airflow zones allow the helmet to pass through the air with greater efficiency, making it faster. Residual air traveling around the helmet is managed by the 22° aero trailing edge, the perfect angle for minimizing turbulence, further improving aerodynamic performance. By leading air through rather than around the helmet, its wake is minimized, while its ventilation and cooling properties are enhanced. Other features of our whole-helmet approach include a fully wrapped unibody shell with an EPS liner for the ideal balance between weight and protection. SPIN (Shearing Pad INside), our patent-pending silicone pad technology; a lightweight adjustment system and an ergonomic precision strap provides a flexible, comfortable and secure fit. Unique aerodynamic design optimized with CFD testing for enhanced aerodynamic performance and minimal air turbulence. Helmet integrated with patent pending SPIN (Shearing Pad Inside) pads Accelerated airflow zones, inspired by the venturi effect, to reduce fluid drag.
