Product description
Fast. Safe. The Cytal is the ultimate choice for racers looking for a high-performance cycling helmet that delivers maximum safety, ventilation, and all-day comfort at both low and high speeds.
Built for road riders who push hard
Developed for road and gravel riders who push hard in groups, and spend long hours in the saddle, the Cytal delivers a unique balance of performance and protection.
Advanced protection, backed by real-world data
Drawing on real-world crash data and advanced FEM modelling, the Cytal is developed for advanced impact protection. Every part of the helmet works together to deliver the most reliable safety possible. The outer shell features a denser top section and thicker zones across the forehead to help minimise deformation on impact, the integrated wing provides more structural stability, and the Mips Air Node rotational impact protection system works to improve rotational impact protection.
Ventilation tuned for racing and endurance
Ventilation is optimised for the full range of race and training demands. The integrated wing captures air at precise angles, increasing velocity through the internal channels to keep you cool whether you're grinding up a long climb or tucked into an aero position at race speed.
Aerodynamics for every ride, not just race day
The Cytal's aerodynamic design minimises drag at speed while maintaining consistent airflow throughout. Unlike more aggressive aero road helmets, it's built to perform equally well across training rides, fast group rides, and racing – making it a versatile, high-performance helmet for riders who don't want to compromise on any given day.
A secure fit that stays in place when it matters
A precise, personalised fit keeps the Cytal locked in place through accelerations, position changes, and sprints. Adjustable straps and a 360° fit system mean it stays where it should, so you stay comfortable and focused on the ride.
KEY FEATURES
Deep channels running through the helmet support airflow across the whole head.
The helmet liner features two densities of EPS (expanded polystyrene), with a denser upper part and less dense lower section, delivering optimised crash protection while keeping weight low.
The helmet features an integrated wing to support structural stability and improve airflow both through and around the helmet.
The lightweight PC shell improves structural stability and enhances helmet integrity.
The Mips® Air Node, a low-friction layer laminated to the base of the comfort padding, works to improve rotational impact protection.
High-friction pads at the front of the helmet make it easy to store sunglasses while riding.
A lightweight 360° adjustment system makes it easy to find a secure, comfortable fit.
PRODUCT FEATURES
TRUSTED BY TEAM AMANI
The Cytal is tried, tested and trusted by the riders of Team Amani.
PROTECTED BY SCIENCE
Finite Element Modelling (FEM)
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.
The Cube
The Cube is an internal database containing nearly a million real-world data points used to give us insights into how we can refine the performance of our helmets.
CFD simulation and testing
Competitive cyclists optimize every pedal stroke to deliver pure forward motion. Several details need to align to create precise forward motion on a bike, such as fitness, power, and technique, all of which are basic building blocks to building speed.
How to choose: Road cycling helmets
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 Cytal is the ultimate helmet choice for any rider looking for safety and ventilation at any speed, designed for maximum safety, aerodynamic efficiency and comfort on high-speed rides. Some key features include:
- An integrated wing enhances structural stability and improves airflow both through and around the helmet.
- Designed for road cyclists seeking top-tier protection without compromising weight or ventilation.
- Built to perform in long endurance rides, racing or high-intensity group rides.
- Part of POC’s Whole Helmet Concept™, ensuring fit, protection, and comfort work together.
The Cytal combines advanced impact protection systems with proven helmet safety standards. Some key safety features include:
- MIPS Air Node technology reduces rotational forces during angled impacts.
- Dual-Density EPS Liner: The helmet liner features two densities of EPS (expanded polystyrene), with a denser upper part and less dense lower section, delivering optimised crash protection.
- Reinforced protective zones protect parts of the head that are more likely to be impacted in a crash.
- Rated 5-stars by Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings, one of the highest scores for road helmets.
- Certified for CPSC 1203 (U.S.) compliance and EN 1078 standards for additional reassurance.
The Cytal helmet is designed to offer excellent ventilation, keeping riders cool and comfortable during intense efforts.
- The integrated wing to aid airflow and enhance structural stability. With air guided both above and below the helmet, the wing works to improve both aerodynamic performance and ventilation.
- Large airflow channels running through the helmet support airflow across the whole head, ensuring optimal cooling at both low and high speeds.
The Cytal is a lightweight road helmet, weighing approximately 270 grams in size M/L, ideal for performance-oriented riders.
