description POC Cytal Mips Overview
The POC Cytal MIPS helmet offers enhanced head protection for cyclists. It incorporates MIPS® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology which strategically reduces rotational forces experienced during angled impacts – a key factor in brain injury prevention. Designed for road cycling and racing, this vented helmet’s extended rear coverage and adjustable fit system make it suitable for serious riders prioritizing safety and comfort.
help POC Cytal Mips FAQ
How does the MIPS technology in the POC Cytal helmet work?
The Cytal features a MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) liner that allows the head to rotate slightly inside the helmet during an angled impact. This slip-plane system is designed to reduce the rotational forces transmitted to the brain. POC integrates this technology seamlessly alongside their own EPS liner for maximum safety.
What is the approximate weight of the POC Cytal MIPS helmet?
The POC Cytal MIPS is exceptionally lightweight, weighing approximately 200 to 230 grams depending on the specific shell size. This low weight makes it highly comfortable for long, grueling road cycling climbs. POC achieves this while still maintaining extended rear coverage for added protection.
Is the POC Cytal MIPS better suited for road cycling or mountain biking?
The Cytal MIPS is specifically designed for road cycling, featuring a highly aerodynamic shape and massive central ventilation ports. It lacks the thick straps, visor, and extended rear protection required for aggressive mountain biking. It is built to be worn with road cycling eyewear, which POC designed to integrate perfectly with the helmet's temple arms.
Does the POC Cytal helmet feature an integrated rear LED light?
The Cytal MIPS is the streamlined, lightweight model and does not include an integrated rear LED light or an NFC medical ID chip. It focuses purely on aerodynamic ventilation and advanced impact protection. Riders looking for built-in lighting should consider alternative POC models like the Omne Eternal.
