POC Cytal Bike Helmet (AS/NZS)

Achieving a 5-star (of 5) rating from Virginia Tech, the independent helmet testing experts, the new Cytal road cycling helmet leads the pack in protection. The ultimate choice for any rider looking for safety and ventilation at any speed, the helmet currently places first in Virginia Tech’s road cycling helmet rankings and third overall.

Fast. Safe. The Cytal is the ultimate choice for racers looking for a safe racing helmet that still provides ventilation, airflow and comfort at both low and high speeds.

An aero choice for everyday, the Cytal combines aerodynamic efficiency with speed and extra protection. Shaped for efficient ventilation and airflow, the Cytal features an integrated wing to aid airflow and enhance structural stability. With air guided both above and below the helmet, the wing works to improve both aerodynamic performance and ventilation.
With large channels throughout the helmet, airflow both through and around the helmet is fully controlled for optimal cooling at both low and high speeds, making this a natural choice for larger group rides and racing.

Developed for ultimate protection, each part of the helmet works to support the others to give the most reliable protection. The helmet shell features a denser top section and thicker zones across the forehead to help minimise deformation during an impact, helping to ensure the Mips Air Node rotational impact protection system works most effectively.

A lower-density EPS is used in the lower sections of the helmet, keeping weight low.

Vital for safety is that the helmet sits comfortably and securely, and therefore it features a 360° fit system, as well as adjustable strap dividers under the ear, so that the fit of each helmet can be tailored for absolute comfort.
