POC Ventral SPIN (CPSC) Helmet - Uranium Black Raceday Medium

Introducing the Ventral SPIN - a road bike helmet that sets a new standard for aerodynamic performance, safety, and ventilation. This revolutionary helmet is the result of collaboration with professional riders in the Cannondale - drapac Pro Cycling Team, as well as the expertise of our aerodynamic specialists in WATTS Lab. By incorporating extensive computational fluid dynamic simulation and testing, we have created a helmet that is not only the fastest but also the safest.

The key to the Ventral's exceptional performance lies in its unique design, which directs air through the helmet rather than around it. This minimizes the wake behind the helmet and maximizes its aerodynamic properties. We have also incorporated specific airflow zones in the helmet, inspired by the Venturi effect, to create different pressure zones. This increases airflow and speed, allowing the helmet to effortlessly slice through the air. Additionally, these airflow zones improve ventilation and cooling, further enhancing the helmet's overall performance.

To manage residual air travelling over and around the helmet, we have optimized the trailing edge to reduce turbulence and create a longer linear airflow off the helmet and rider. This significantly improves both the helmet and rider's aerodynamic performance. Furthermore, the Ventral SPIN integrates our patent-pending rotational impact protection system, known as SPIN. This innovative technology minimizes the effects of an oblique fall by reducing the force transmitted to the head and brain. SPIN pads, which sit directly against the user's head, can shear in any direction during an oblique impact. This allows the helmet to move relative to the head, effectively reducing the force transmitted to the brain.

Despite its lightweight construction, the Ventral SPIN offers exceptional security with its fully wrapped unibody shell. The EPS liner is meticulously designed to strike the perfect balance between weight and safety.

With its aerodynamic design, tested using computational fluid dynamics, the Ventral SPIN minimizes air turbulence for enhanced performance. Thanks to its accelerated airflow zones inspired by the Venturi effect, it reduces fluid drag while providing extreme cooling and ventilation. The helmet also boasts POC's innovative rotational impact protection system, SPIN, which reduces the force transmitted to the head during an oblique fall. Furthermore, the high-performance EPS liner offers optimized density for a lightweight yet safe helmet.

In conclusion, the Ventral SPIN is a game-changer in the world of road bike helmets. With its emphasis on aerodynamic performance, safety, and ventilation, it offers riders the ultimate experience in terms of speed, protection, and comfort.
