Cytal Carbon is the result of a continuous search for new ways to maximise performance and safety. The road cycling helmet introduces new methods and technologies to help ensure speed and protection.

Using manufacturing methods currently seen only on luxury sports cars, POC has integrated a carbon wing into the helmet to improve aerodynamic performance, keep weight low and support a more even distribution of impact forces across the whole helmet.

The introduction of new modelling and simulation methods during the design process opened up new possibilities for testing designs and pushed the helmet’s capabilities in balancing speed, safety and performance. The result: a new approach to what keeps you safe.

The helmet is more open at the front, improving air intake for better ventilation and reduced air resistance. A size adjustment system running from temple to temple and around the back of the head makes it easier to find a secure and comfortable fit.

1. CARBON WING
   The helmet features an integrated lightweight carbon wing that improves aerodynamic performance and impact force distribution.
2. ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
   The size adjustment system runs from temple to temple around the back of the head, leaving the front more open for improved ventilation while ensuring a secure fit.
3. LIGHTWEIGHT PC SHELL
   The PC outer shell is moulded to the helmet liner, improving structural stability.
4. OPEN INTAKE PORTS
   More open intake ports at the front of the helmet allow improved ventilation and airflow around the head.
5. LIGHTWEIGHT
   The helmet is lightweight, weighing 250 g in size M.
6. OPTIMISED EPS LINER
   The EPS liner is optimised for performance and provides additional protection in areas where it is needed most.
