POC release new EF Pro Cycling limited edition helmet and eyewear

INTRODUCING THE 2025 LIMITED-EDITION COLLECTION, LINA ELFSTRAND, CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER AT POC, SAID:

“Over the years, we have seen how much the fans of the EF Pro Cycling Women’s and Men’s teams have helped the riders, on good and bad days. And when we speak to the riders, we know how much this trust and support means. We are thrilled to be able to release this season’s team collection as we see it as the perfect fusion of trusted support for trusted supporters and a way for the fans to be inspired and pushed by similar levels of performance-pushing protection. Now it’s their turn to break away in pink.”

THE EF PRO CYCLING EDITIONS

Developed with a focus on extreme ventilation levels and very low weight, the Cytal brings refined balance with enhanced protection. Meanwhile, the new Elicit Toric sunglasses from POC blend the incredibly low weight of the Elicit with a newly shaped toric lens tuned for racing.

The helmet and eyewear’s release and availability coincide with the first Grand Tours of the Women’s and Men’s 2025 season: the Vuelta Femenina and the Giro d’Italia.

JONATHAN VAUGHTERS, EF PRO CYCLING, ADDED:

“Our teams illustrate that you don’t have to follow the same path others have laid out before. Instead, you can create your own. At EF Pro Cycling, we are following our own path, and central to that are our fans, who are unique. Seeing them on the roads always fills me with joy: loud, pink, and full of support for our riders. And with POC, our path is also about sharing what’s special about EF Pro Cycling’s teams and riders, so we can see more pink out on roads around the globe.”

THE DESIGN
Pink is known as the colour of EF Pro Cycling; there is no question about that. The 2025 design presents the classic pink colourway, and this year, the pink Cytal is enhanced with the pink Elicit Toric.

CYTAL - OVERVIEW
Influenced by Cytal Carbon, which is currently used by many EF Pro Cycling riders, the Cytal uses all the pioneering aerodynamic and ventilation knowledge developed from Cytal Carbon and adds a refined balance and enhanced protection. Developed to establish a new benchmark in performance, the Cytal uses an integrated wing to enhance ventilation and aerodynamics. Designed for road riders, it’s a helmet constructed for a precise and unique balance in performance and protection.

CYTAL EF PRO CYCLING ED. PRODUCT DETAILS

PROTECTION
Safety is the central role of a helmet, and the Cytal has been developed
with this as its priority. The EPS liner has variable density across the
helmet, which was created by heat map evidence analyzed by POC’s inhouse tech and research team. It’s an approach that leads to a lightweight and naturally balanced helmet. It also supports enhanced protection, and the Cytal has been tested by Virginia Tech and has achieved a five-star rating. (As of March 2025, it is ranked as the number one road helmet and number three in all helmets tested.)

VENTILATION
The Cytal continues to use the Venturi effect, POC’s well-known and
respected approach to airflow and ventilation in its helmets. The integrated wing creates superior ventilation and cooling across the whole head. To encourage airflow and create precise pressure zones inside the helmet, the wing has a precise shape that increases air velocity and enhances cooling. Combined with the linear interior channels to guide airflow, vast amounts of air pass through and out of the helmet, all cooling the rider in the process.

AERODYNAMICS
Ventilation and cooling are essential for modern performance, as is aerodynamics, and the Cytal has benefitted from POC’s extensive CFD simulation, wind tunnel, and real-world testing. The integrated wing supports larger frontal ports of precise size and angles. It allows the Cytal frontal air intakes to capture and lead air through the helmet instead of around it, significantly reducing the high-pressure zone at the front of the helmet and improving a rider’s aerodynamic profile.

MIPS®
A seamlessly integrated Mips® Air Node system enhances protection
from angled (non-linear) impacts.

FIT SYSTEM
It is essential to fine-tune a fit to meet individual preferences. The Cytal has a variable adjustment system, including removable front brow pads for enhanced ventilation, adjustable straps (up, down, side to side), and a vertical adjustment on the rear cradle.

EYE GARAGE
Eye garage to keep your sunglasses, especially the Elicit toric,
securely in position.

ELICIT TORIC – EF PRO CYCLING ED.

Enhancing the performance of our lightweight style, the Elicit, the toric lens is shaped to fit closer to a rider’s face for absolute comfort. The frameless design provides a maximized field of view and enhances peripheral vision, which is critical when cycling. Clarity lens technology controls the colour spectrum for ultimate contrast and colour management, giving the best assistance to your eyes and ensuring you can see every detail on the road ahead. The exceptionally lightweight style features bio-grilamid temples with a truss structure for strength and durability.
