Product description
The Cytal Lite is for when grams count and heat management is a must. Weighing less than 250g (CE standard, size medium), the Cytal Lite has been developed to deliver the lowest weight possible while ensuring optimised protection and incredible heat management.
Taking inspiration from the Cytal and Cytal Carbon, we updated and enhanced the structure of the helmet shell to save weight on the EPS liner and enhance airflow, which is perfectly tuned to the needs of climbers and col hunters, or riders who often ride in a hot climate.
Every aspect of the helmet, including the adjustment system, the straps and the strap dividers, are all weight-optimised to be as light and comfortable as possible. The result is a helmet that offers enhanced protection in an extremely light, ventilated and comfortable package.
KEY FEATURES
Small: 180g / Medium: 200g / Large: 220g
The shell and liner combine to provide enhanced structural integrity for ultimate lightweight crash protection.
Large airflow channels throughout the helmet and an optimised shell structure enhance airflow.

Finite Element Method (FEM) modeling
Created to question many more safety variables, our FEM process ensures that we deliver products that live up to our internal safety demands and is the process that influenced the carbon wing.
Different by design
Everything starts with a reason: a question that needs a solution. It’s never simply about creating protection that works, the question is how to ensure a user stays as safe as possible while having the freedom to perform at their best.
How to choose: Road cycling helmet
A helmet is vital for your safety, but it’s also a fundamental part of forming the perfect kit. Your helmet choice helps to define you as a cyclist, so it’s always important to choose carefully.
The POC Cytal Lite is an ultra-lightweight road helmet engineered for riders who prioritise minimal weight, maximum cooling, comfort and protection during long climbs and hot-weather riding.
Why it’s different:
- Extremely light construction (under ~200 g in a CE standard, size medium) designed for riders where every grams counts
- Enhanced airflow with open padding and integrated wing structures tuned specifically for ventilation
- Built for heat management and sustained climbing efforts, rather than general or all-round road use
Best for:
- Climbers, mountain riders and riders in hot climates
- Road cyclists who prioritise weight saving and cooling
The Cytal Lite achieves its low weight by optimising materials and coverage while still meeting road cycling safety standards.
How weight and safety are balanced:
- Lightweight EPS liner engineered for effective impact management at reduced density
- Lightweight in-mold PC shell, scaled back wherever possible, covering the liner only where absolutely necessary to save weight
- The shell and liner combine to provide enhanced structural integrity for ultimate lightweight crash protection
Yes – the Cytal Lite is built for competitive road cycling and climbing, and is worn by EF Pro Cycling Team riders in the professional peloton, particularly for hot conditions and mountain stages.
Performance benefits:
- Reduced weight helps conserve energy on long climbs and steep gradients
- Advanced ventilation supports cooling during high-intensity efforts
- Especially well suited for climbing stages, summer races and hot-weather competition
