Cytal MIPS Helmet

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The POC Cytal is the helmet I reach for on race days when aerodynamics and protection both matter. The Mips Air Node system handles rotational impact in a way that standard MIPS doesn't, and the dual-density EPS liner keeps weight low without compromising crash protection. Thirteen vents move serious air at speed so thermal management stays solid even on hard efforts, and the 360-degree fit system dials in a secure feel that holds through a full race. The eye garage pads are a small detail that makes a real difference mid-ride."

At race pace, a helmet earns its place by staying out of the way and stepping up when it matters. POC's Cytal MIPS is built around that balance — an integrated wing design that optimizes airflow and stability at speed, thirteen vents that keep thermal management honest through hard efforts, and Mips Air Node technology that addresses rotational impact forces beyond what standard impact management handles.

The dual-density EPS liner distributes crash energy efficiently while keeping overall weight competitive, and the lightweight polycarbonate shell adds structural stability without bulk. The adjustable 360-degree fit system secures the helmet precisely across a range of head shapes, and high-friction eye garage pads hold sunglasses securely mid-ride when the route or conditions call for stashing them. Certified to EN 1078, CPSC, and AS/NZS standards, the Cytal is built for riders who want aerodynamic performance and genuine protection working together.
