POC Cycling SS 2022 – Helmets & Eyes
Ventral Lite
The Ventral Lite is for when grams count. Weighing less than 200g, every aspect of this helmet has been developed to provide protection at the lowest weight possible. Taking the Ventral Air as the starting point, POC has updated and enhanced the structure of the helmet shell to provide more rigidity and save weight on the EPS liner. A lighter PC shell covering less of the liner further helps to keep the total weight as low as possible. A minimalist approach to every aspect of the helmet ensures weight is kept to an absolute minimum. Every aspect of the helmet, the adjustment system, the straps, are all as light as possible while still meeting vital safety standards.
- Exceptionally lightweight: 200 g (M)
- Highly ventilated
- EN1078 safety standard
- Structurally strong: Changes to the shell and liner design give enhanced structural integrity at a low weight.
- Lightweight EPS liner: The shape of the liner allows for a lower-density EPS liner to be used.
- Lightweight in mold PC shell: The outer PC shell is scaled back to cover only the absolutely necessary parts of the liner, saving vital grams.
Price: 270 Euro / 319 CHF

Ventral MIPS
Aerodynamic performance, safety and ventilation do not need to come at the expense of each other. By using the whole-helmet approach to development, POC has been able to deliver unparalleled levels of aerodynamic performance, safety and ventilation without compromise in the Ventral Mips. Taking inspiration from the Venturi effect, the helmet’s airflow zones allow the helmet to pass through the air with greater efficiency, making it faster. Residual air traveling around the helmet is managed by the 22° aero trailing edge, the perfect angle for minimizing turbulence, further improving aerodynamic performance. By leading air through rather than around the helmet, its wake is minimized, while its ventilation and cooling properties are enhanced. Other features of the whole-helmet approach include a fully wrapped unibody shell with an EPS liner for the ideal balance between weight and protection. Now including Mips for enhanced rotational impact protection, the helmet also features a lightweight adjustment system spanning the whole head for a comfortable and secure fit.

Ventral Air MIPS
POC's new performance helmet is designed to deliver coolness in ways like never before. With precise ventilation ports and internal channels to control air intake and release at both low and high speeds, the helmet provides a supreme cooling effect over the whole head. Ideal for long rides in the mountains or hotter days in the saddle. The Ventral Air Mips works to enhance a rider’s aerodynamic profile and minimize drag. Specific airflow zones enhance ventilation and cooling, while the aerodynamically optimized trailing edge reduces turbulence. The exceptionally lightweight road cycling helmet has been developed according to POC’s Whole Helmet Concept™. It features a fully wrapped unibody shell construction and an EPS liner, delivering an ideal balance between weight and safety. The addition of Mips enhances rotational impact protection. Practical features include a lightweight size adjustment system that guarantees a personalized fit, and an eye garage for easy and secure storage of eyewear mid-ride.
