The POC Cytal Lite Cycling Helmet is engineered for moments where every gram is critical and optimal comfort is essential. Weighing in at less than 200g (for size M, compliant with EN1078 safety standard), this helmet is the ideal choice for tackling arduous climbs and effectively managing heat in challenging conditions. It has been meticulously developed to achieve the lowest possible weight while simultaneously ensuring optimized protection and exceptional heat management.
Drawing inspiration from the existing Cytal and Cytal Carbon models, the helmet's shell structure has been meticulously updated and enhanced. This refinement allows for significant weight reduction in the EPS liner and a substantial improvement in airflow. This highly efficient ventilation system is perfectly tailored to meet the demands of climbers and "col hunters," as well as any rider who frequently operates in hot climates. The innovative open padding structure further facilitates air circulation across the forehead.
Every single component of the Cytal Lite has been optimized for minimal weight and maximum comfort. This includes the adjustable fit system, the lightweight straps, and the strap dividers. The culmination of this design philosophy is a helmet that delivers optimized protection within an extremely light, highly ventilated, and exceptionally comfortable package. Its robust structural strength is achieved through a synergistic combination of the outer PC shell and EPS liner, providing enhanced integrity for ultimate lightweight crash protection. The external PC shell is strategically scaled back, covering the liner only where absolutely necessary, ensuring maximum gram savings. Furthermore, an innovative integrated wing actively assists in controlling airflow both through and around the helmet, further boosting overall ventilation performance.
