POC Octal X MIPS Cycling Helmet
Category: poc helmet road bike
The Octal X Mips takes the celebrated Octal road helmet to a new level, specifically designed to meet the demands of gravel and cyclocross riders. Compared to its predecessor, the Octal, the Octal X Mips features an extended shell that covers a larger portion of the helmet liner, resulting in improved strength properties without adding significant weight.
This helmet retains the exceptional ventilation, aerodynamic efficiency, and unibody shell construction of the original Octal. Additionally, it includes an EPS liner and POC's renowned aramid bridge technology, which provides enhanced strength and protection against penetration. All of these elements are part of POC's holistic approach to helmet design and construction, aimed at ensuring superior levels of comfort, fit, and performance. With the incorporation of Mips, the Octal X Mips offers added rotational impact protection.
MADE FOR MOUNTAIN BIKING—This specialized MTB helmet is engineered for versatile use, from trail riding to enduro sessions. It is equipped with an adjustable visor, a goggle clip, and features additional coverage at the temples and the back of the head for enhanced safety.
MIPS—This bike helmet integrates the advanced MIPS Brain Protection System, designed to improve rotational impact protection. This technology enhances safety by reducing the forces transmitted to the brain during an angled impact.
BE SEARCHABLE—Globally trusted by rescue teams, this helmet is fitted with an integrated RECCO reflector. This feature makes the bike helmet reflective, increasing your chances of being quickly located in case of an emergency, such as getting lost or sustaining an injury.
BEST-IN-CLASS VENTILATION—Engineered for optimal air flow, this structurally enhanced helmet is designed with precision ventilation ports and internal channels. These features actively direct air through the helmet, significantly improving ventilation for a cooler and more comfortable ride.
UNIBODY SHELL—The bike helmet boasts a fully wrapped, ultra-light shell that enhances structural integrity. The optimally designed EPS liner not only ensures low weight but also delivers excellent crash protection.
In summary, the Octal X Mips is a top-tier helmet specifically crafted for gravel and cyclocross enthusiasts, enhancing safety and performance through innovative design and technology. The incorporation of both MIPS and reflective elements, along with exceptional ventilation and structure, makes this helmet a standout choice for mountain bikers seeking a reliable and high-performing protective gear. With its combination of advanced features and thoughtful engineering, the Octal X Mips redefines comfort and safety in cycling helmets, catering to the diverse needs of riders on varied terrains.
