Performance & Protection
Exceptional ventilation: POC used computational fluid dynamics and heat-flow modelling to optimise airflow through and around the helmet, helping keep riders comfortable during long climbs and fast trail riding.
Lightweight protection: At 350g in size M, the Cularis is POC's lightest trail helmet, making it particularly attractive for XC and downcountry riders who want to minimise weight without giving up trail-oriented coverage.
Rotational-impact protection: The integrated Mips Air Node system is designed to provide additional protection against rotational forces during angled impacts while maintaining the helmet's ventilation and low weight.
Extended coverage: Protection is extended around the temples and rear of the head compared with a typical road-style helmet.
Comfort & Convenience
The 360° fit system allows the helmet to be adjusted securely around the head, while the Fidlock magnetic buckle makes fastening and removal quick and easy. The front ventilation ports also incorporate an eye garage, providing a convenient place to store sunglasses during a ride.
Best Suited For
- XC riders
- Downcountry cyclists
- Trail riders
- Long-distance MTB adventures
- Fast-flowing trail riding
- Riders prioritising ventilation and low weight
