Lightweight Carbon Protection Weighing a scant 778 grams (size medium), the Defender Full Face MTB Cycling Helmet won't slow you down as you seek to push your mountain biking skills to new levels. The incredible lack of weight is made possible via the full carbon fibre shell. This lightweight and durable exterior wraps the shock-absorbing EPS foam liner, providing an outstanding level of head protection while not adding excess weight. The carbon shell has also allowed Kask to maintain strength and protection while giving you a brilliantly wide degree of vision. To keep your Defender in place even during the hardest impacts is the ever-reliable double D-ring chin strap. And should your helmet have to be removed, the D-ring system and quick-release cheek pads make it quick and straightforward. Keep a Cool Head on the Trail When you're riding hard you want to be sure you're not going to get too hot and sweaty. And the Defender excels here too. 18 vents let cool air in and warm, damp air out. Those vents feed into inner air channels to ensure cooling airflow across your whole head. Inside, the interchangeable Coolmax padding is brilliant at dealing with any sweat build-up. And you can hand-wash them to always enjoy a fresh ride. WG11 Safety Test The Defender passes the stringent WG11 test. This focuses on protection from rotational impact forces, measuring rotational kinematics from both oblique and normal impacts. With this safety test passed, you can be sure the Defender has you covered should you be unfortunate enough to fall from your bike.
If you're seeking out the steepest, most technical downhill trails, whipping over the biggest gaps and drops and generally pushing your mountain bike riding faster and further, a crash is just a part of the game. And when it does all go wrong, the MTB Gravity 8.0 Helmet is here to make sure your head is safely covered. Dust yourself down. Keep riding. Safe to its Core When it comes to head and brain protection, the 8.0 uses a combination of technologies to soak up and dissipate impact forces. Firstly, 4 different densities of impact-absorbing foam are utilised within the core. Each is deployed to specific areas of the helmet, tuned to the specific requirements of the type of most common impact. Whether a slow speed fall or high-speed slam, the core provides outstanding head protection. The visor also delivers extra safety, breaking away in a crash to reduce rotational forces on the head. We then come to the innovative 360-degree Turbine Technology. 360 ̊ Turbine Technology Inside The 360 ̊ Turbine Technology is focused on reducing the damaging effects of a crash on your brain. It works via 360 ̊ moving discs, all made from an energy-absorbing material. These impart a reduction of rotational acceleration to the head and brain by up to 40%. The system also improves the absorption of impact energy - it reduces peak brain acceleration by up to 30% at the impact speeds associated with concussion. Cool and Comfortable With safety more than covered, you'll also be pleased to find Leatt haven't compromised on ventilation. Large entry and exhaust vents channel air through the inside, pulling in the fresh air and expelling warm, damp air. At both slow and fast speeds, airflow is optimised. Also adding to your comfort is the moisture-wicking liner. As you work up a sweat, this draws moisture off your skin so you don't feel drenched at the end of a session. It's anti-odour too, leaving you smelling fresh on the uplift and being a washable liner, you can always get that new helmet feel.
There's nothing better than taking on ever more challenging MTB trails and features. Coming out smiling after having nailed the landing of a big booter, laid it over low as you whip around a massive berm or conquer the fear of a North Shore style drop. However, along the way, crashing is an inevitable part of your progression. And here the super-protective, but lightweight, Aircraft Carbon DH/BMX Helmet works best when things go wrong. The core of the Aircraft's protection, both figuratively and literally, is Multi-Density EPS foam. This shock-absorbing centre takes the energies from impacts and soaks them up to prevent head injury. This core is covered by a durable polycarbonate outer, keeping your lid looking good when it's getting almost daily (ab)use. Next comes the 14-point Smartshock® Rotational Protective System. Smartshock® Rotational Protective System While most standard cycle helmets are great at dealing with straight-on impacts, oblique, angular impacts are in fact more likely to occur. These create rotational acceleration and deceleration forces to the head and brain. The Smartshock Rotational System combats those extra forces via a suspension system seamlessly integrated into the helmet. This innovative fully suspended system through compression of direct impacts while elastomers allow inner and outer to move independently of each other. Both features help reduce energy transfer to the brain over a wide range of speed and impact types. Freshness Engineering In Riding mountain bikes all day is a hot and sweaty business. But the Aircraft deals with moisture via class-leading 20 ventilation ports. Cool air can flow in, while damp and warm air gets ejected out. You'll also find the liner does a great job of minimising sweat build-up, wicking it away before it causes an issue. Being microbial, bacteria can't thrive either - no stinks and no itchiness here. And for extra freshness, the liner is washable too. A multi-point Visor lets you adjust it easily to accommodate almost any goggle shape and size as well as making goggle storage easier. A tried and tested D-Ring buckle is also used for a secure and safe closure.
It's All About the Speed The Cerebel is a compact aero road helmet, designed and engineered to improve aerodynamic performance. The Cerebel helmet was developed in close collaboration with Garmin-Sharp Pro Cycling team (now Cannondale-Garmin), Volvo Car Group and POC's own aerodynamic specialist at the POC WATTS Lab with the aim of creating the most aerodynamic helmet possible, in a wide variety of riding positions. Through the use of wind tunnel testing and Computer Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations POC were able to determine that the Cerebel excels in dynamic and varying body positions, which in turn benefits upper body movement and overall lactate clearing efficiency compared to a static TT position. The rear of the Cerebel is made of soft moulded EVA(ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer foam) covered in aerodynamic fabric further reducing drag and enhancing comfort. Clear Vision at speed you need ultra-clear vision and so POC chose to use a visor developed with Zeiss, leading optics specialists, in order to achieve absolute clarity as you ride.The visor tint has been specifically developed together with Zeiss to enhance the contrast of the road surface, allowing you to spot any irregularities or obstacles in time. The Visor is held firmly in place through the use of a magnetic system, making attachment and removal extremely simple while also keeping the lens perfectly positioned for low drag. RACEDAY performance Following the AVIP concept, which promotes safety for road cyclists, POC now introduces Raceday. Raceday is built on the experiences of the AVIP range and has been further developed to optimise and enhance performance when racing, to give competitive cyclists the most optimal equipment in their quest to win. Raceday is built on the competence of POC’s product development team and developed in close collaboration with Garmin-Sharp Pro Cycling Team, Volvo Car Group and the aerodynamic specialists in WATTS Lab. WATTS Lab is POC’s highly specialised department, whose objective is to optimise performance and aerodynamics of POC products. Through computer simulations and extensive wind tunnel testing together with the aerodynamic specialists in WATTS Lab, POC have studied the specific challenges in road cycling performance and importantly not only what to focus on, but also where to focus in order to improve aerodynamic efficiency. Raceday is the result of POC’s uncompromising approach to road cycling performance and marks the next step in their quest to redefine the future of road cycling. Sizes Small (50-56 cm), Medium (54-60 cm) - To obtain and ensure that you purchase the correct helmet size, measure around the head just above the ears and level front to back.
