Cytal, Cytal Carbon or Cytal Lite?

POC's weights in size M: Cytal 270 g, Cytal Carbon 250 g, Cytal Lite 200 g. The standard Cytal is the all-rounder, with Mips Air Node and a dual-density EPS liner. The Carbon adds a carbon wing and more open front ports. The Lite strips the shell back to where it is strictly needed to reach 200 g. Only the standard Cytal lists a Mips system on POC's pages — and it holds the best Virginia Tech score of the three.

POC Cytal Lite Cycling Helmet - Hydrogen White Matt

Technologies

Specifications

Claimed weight	180 / 200 / 220 g (S / M / L)
Sizes	S · M · L
Certifications	EN 1078

Lightweight construction

To reach 200 g in size M, the Cytal Lite covers the liner with the in-mould shell only where strictly necessary, uses a low-density EPS liner and vertical-only front padding.

Structurally strong

The Cytal Lite's shell and liner work together to give strong structural integrity at a very low weight.

Highly ventilated

Large airflow channels throughout the helmet and an optimised shell structure improve airflow.

Integrated wing

A wing moulded into the Cytal's structure. POC uses it to add structural stability and to steer air through and around the helmet. The Cytal Lite uses a thinner version to save weight; the Cytal Carbon makes it from carbon.

Adjustable 360° fit

A lightweight adjustment system that runs around the head, making it easy to find a secure, comfortable fit.

How to measure

Wrap a tape measure around your head just above the ears and eyebrows, keeping it level, and read the circumference in centimetres. Where two sizes overlap, head shape decides: try both, or ask us.
