POC Cytal Carbon, Cytal & Lite | Aero vs. Gewicht vs. Sicherheit erklärt

If you regularly ride a road bike, you'll be familiar with the typical questions you ask yourself before buying a helmet: How safe is the helmet really? ⛑️ How well does the ventilation work on slow climbs and at high speeds? And is high-end technology such as carbon or Mips really worth it? With the Cytal helmet series released in 2025, POC answers precisely these questions – and offers three clearly ‘best-in-class’ helmets for different types of riders. 🪖 The POC Cytal is aimed at anyone who trains a lot, races or rides in groups – and doesn't want to compromise on safety. Thanks to the combination of dual-density EPS, Mips Air Node and targeted reinforcement of the helmet shell, it has been rated 5 out of 5 stars by Virginia Tech and is currently classified as the safest road bike helmet. It thus solves one of the biggest problems for ambitious riders: maximum safety without compromising on comfort or ventilation. 🏎️ The POC Cytal Carbon is made for riders who value performance, aerodynamics and state-of-the-art development methods. The integrated CarbonWing – inspired by production processes in the automotive industry – reduces drag, improves airflow and efficiently distributes impact forces across the entire helmet. The result is an aero helmet that is not only fast but also remains comfortable in hot weather and during long rides. 🪶 Finally, the POC Cytal Lite is designed for anyone who rides uphill a lot, loves long climbs or counts every gram on their bike – and on their head. Weighing less than 200 grams, with extremely open ventilation channels and a reduced structure, it ensures that excess heat can escape quickly when climbing. It thus solves a classic problem with lightweight helmets: being cool, light and yet safe.
