The reinforced EPS liner provides a high level of protection while the unibody shell construction, introduced in POC’s ground breaking Octal road cycling helmet, further enhances the safety properties and construction integrity of the helmet while maintaining a low weight.

The Tectal offers more coverage than conventional mountain bike helmets and has a highly efficient ventilation design, optimised and evaluated through wind tunnel testing, while the lightweight size adjustment system ensures a comfortable and secure fit.

Aramid Bridge: When looking for low weight in combination with a tough and durable structure, POC added aramid in strategic locations just under the outer shell and moulded it together with the foam liner material to ensure durability and protection. The unbreakable aramid weave bonds with the foam liner, adding a totally new structural stability. The concept was first launched in POC’s Trabec helmet.
