A community
Cycling must be about aggregation and a sense of belonging, not only in sharing a common passion which is that of the bicycle, but also in creating a community capable of recognizing itself and of which it feels part.
This is why marketing played a fundamental role in presenting the 2026 Pro Cycling Edition collection, as confirmed by POC itself.
“The EF Pro Cycling community,” said Lina Elfstrand, Chief Marketing Officer, “has always been a central part of what makes our partnership so special. Fans follow us year after year with true commitment and enthusiasm, and this edition is a way to give them access to the same performance and protection that POC is known for and that riders rely on. And it's fantastic to see the same team dressed in pink on the streets of the world.».
Maximum performance
Choosing the Cytal model doesn't just mean echoing the aesthetics of professionals, but also seeking the same feeling of safety and maximum performance. In fact, in POC, when creating this helmet, they put safety at the centre, but also advanced ventilation and aerodynamic optimization.
The safety aspect has been put first, the EPS padding has a variable density that allows for a light and balanced helmetImpact and shock protection is extremely high.
Venturi effect
The Cytal helmet also offers unique internal air circulation, which is always appreciated by cyclists. A feature that comes from exploiting the Venturi Effect, with a precise shape of the details that allows for optimal air speed and perfect cooling.
Integrated fin allows for larger front air intakes, with precise dimensions and angles, allowing the vents to capture and direct air inside the helmet rather than around it. This significantly reduces the high pressure zone at the front and improves the aerodynamic profile of the rider..
Details
The difference in cycling, especially in the WorldTour, is made in the attention to every detail, and at POC they have been no exception. In fact, the Cytal helmet has a variable adjustment system, which includes removable front pads and a strap that ensures a perfect vertical fit. The integrated Eye Garage system keeps sunglasses securely in place.
