The 2025 season promises to be a revolutionary one for POC, with the arrival of two entirely new helmets that push back the limits of performance and safety. On the one hand, the Cytal, an innovative road helmet with integrated wing. On the other, the Cularis, a trail MTB helmet designed to maximize ventilation and safety. Both embody the Swedish brand's determination to go the extra mile in the search for protective, functional and stylish solutions for cyclists.

A clear vision of safety

Oscar Huss, Chief Product Officer at POC, sums up the spirit behind these creations perfectly:

"Our safety mission is clear. With the Cytal and Cularis, we've sought to integrate even more of our knowledge from real-life testing to refine every detail and raise the level of performance."

Cularis - The MTB helmet that refreshes protection

Inspired by the iconic Tectal and Kortal models, the Cularis is designed for mountain bike enthusiasts who don't want to choose between lightness, comfort and safety. Thanks to an advanced study in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), this helmet channels air like never before to offer top-level ventilation, even at low speeds.

Highlights :

- Advanced ventilation: derived from POC road helmets, for constant air flow.
- 5-star protection: rated 1 by Virginia Tech (March 2025).
- Mips® Air Node technology: discreetly integrated for better protection against angular impacts.
- Break-Away Peak: a visor designed to detach in the event of a fall or snag.
- Fidlock®: a magnetic loop that's easy to operate with just one hand.
- Eye Garage: integrated, gravel-inspired glasses storage.
- Precise fit: 360° system, multi-directional adjustments, controlled lightness.


Available in three sizes (S/M/L), the Cularis is also certified to international standards (CPSC/CE/EN/AS/NZS) and priced at €230. Find the full range of Poc mountain bike helmets at Alpinstore.

Cytal - A new-generation aerodynamic road helmet

Directly inspired by the Cytal Carbon used by the EF Pro Cycling pros, the Cytal takes all the aerodynamic and ventilation expertise developed around this carbon model, while adding a refined balance between performance and protection.

Key features

- Aerodynamics + Ventilation: the Cytal introduces an integrated wing that plays a dual role. It improves air penetration while promoting a Venturi effect on internal air circulation, guaranteeing constant freshness all over the skull.
- Designed for road and gravel, it features an unprecedented balance between aerodynamics, lightness and safety.
- EPS variable density: optimized from thermal mapping data, to maximize protection without weighing the helmet down.
- Mips® Air Node technology: fluid integration to reduce rotational forces.
- Custom fit system, with removable front pads, lateral and vertical adjustments.
- Eye Garage: secure place for glasses, even at high speeds.

- Weight: Small 250g | Medium 270g | Large 300g

- Price: EUR 320

With its avant-garde design and aerodynamic performance based on the latest CFD research, the Cytal is the new benchmark helmet for demanding road cyclists . Let's just say that the integrated wing could well change the game on your Strava segments.

Whether you're a technical trail rider or a fan of long road breaks, POC is hitting hard with these two new helmets. Whatever your playground - asphalt or singletrack - POC's new Cytal and Cularis are ready to redefine your comfort and safety standards for 2025. Designed to excel in their respective disciplines, the Cytal and Cularis reflect the brand's unwavering commitment to performance and protection.

Which one is right for you?

Make your choice, and let the 2025 season begin under the sign of innovation.
