The 2025 season promises to be revolutionary at POC, with the arrival of two completely new helmets that push the limits of performance and safety. On one side, the Cytal, an innovative road helmet with an integrated wing. On the other, the Cularis, a trail mountain bike helmet designed to maximize ventilation and safety. Both embody the Swedish brand's commitment to continually seek protective, functional, and stylish solutions for cyclists.

A clear vision of safety

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

“Our mission regarding safety is clear. With the Cytal and the Cularis, we aimed to integrate even more of our knowledge from real-world testing to refine every detail and elevate the level of performance.”

Cularis – The mountain bike helmet that refreshes protection

Inspired by the iconic Tectal and Kortal models, the Cularis is aimed at mountain biking enthusiasts who do not want to choose between lightness, comfort, and safety. Thanks to an in-depth study in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), this helmet channels air like never before to provide high-level ventilation, even at low speeds.

Highlights:

- Advanced ventilation: derived from POC road helmets, for a constant airflow.
- 5-star protection: rated number 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 case of a fall or snag.
- Fidlock®: magnetic buckle easy to operate with one hand.
- Eye Garage: integrated eyewear storage, inspired by gravel.
- Precise adjustment: 360° system, multidirectional adjustments, controlled lightness.


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

Cytal – A new generation aerodynamic road helmet

Directly inspired by the Cytal Carbon, used by the pros of the EF Pro Cycling team, the Cytal incorporates all the aerodynamics and ventilation knowledge developed around this carbon model, while adding a refined balance between performance and protection.

Key points:

- 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, ensuring constant freshness across the entire skull.
- Designed for road and gravel, it stands out with an unprecedented balance between aerodynamics, lightness, and safety.
- Variable density EPS: optimized based on thermal mapping data, to maximize protection without adding weight to the helmet.
- Mips® Air Node technology: seamless integration to reduce rotational forces.
- Custom adjustment system, with removable front pads, lateral and vertical adjustments.
- Eye Garage: secure eyewear storage, even at high speeds.

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

- Price: EUR 320

With its avant-garde design and aerodynamic performance derived from the latest CFD research, the Cytal establishes itself as the new reference helmet for demanding road cyclists. Let's just say that the integrated wing could very well change the game on your Strava segments.

Whether you are a fan of technical trails or passionate about long road escapes, POC makes a strong statement with these two new helmets. Whatever your playground: asphalt or singletrack: the new Cytal and Cularis from POC are ready to redefine your standards of comfort and safety for 2025. Designed to excel in their respective disciplines, the Cytal and the Cularis reflect the brand's unwavering commitment to performance and protection.
