When it comes to shredding the trail aggressively, staying protected as you nail north shores and kickers is a vital necessity. Offering added coverage to the temple and the back of the head, the POC Tectal Spin leaves no stone unturned in its quest to be the safest helmet on the market. There is a fully wrapped unibody shell construction for impressive durability while structural integrity is enhanced thanks to the Aramid bridge technology liner. Infused with technology passed down by a long line of POC creations, this stylish helmet has award-winning family members in its bloodline and perfectly suits the demands of Enduro and racing. Extremely robust and lightweight, POC have opted to utilise their very own patent pending rotational impact protection system. Known as SPIN, the amount of force transmitted to the head and brain is reduced, meaning you can have full confidence in your helmet’s ability to perform should the unexpected happen. Not content with just improving their rotational impact protection system, POC have also infused innovation into their stylish lid, providing a layer that sits against the head to shear in all directions during an oblique impact. Moving with your skull during crashes, the force transmitted to the brain is lowered, ensuring that safety really is the name of the game with the Tectal Race SPIN. Should you still be demanding more for your money, there is a reinforced EPS liner to add extra impetus to your ride and the simple and easily adjustable fit of the Tectal allows you to customise the helmet on the go. Improving your protection against sharp objects is bound to see you attack the downhill sections with more aggression, and the highly breathable capabilities of the Tectal ensure you stay cool and fresh from the first pedal until the last. Offering optimised ventilation which has been evaluated in the wind tunnels, the flow of air is maximised around your head. With a goggle clip and adjustable visor also included, the Tectal Race SPIN Helmet truly is the king of the mountain.

Safety First Mountain biking is tough on both the body and your equipment. And none more so when you're unfortunate enough to crash. The Otocon Race MIPS Helmet is here to keep you safer when it all goes a bit wrong. The first line of defence comes via the Otocon's dual-material construction. In the event of an impact to the head, a combination of EPP foam lower and EPS foam upper provide the perfect degree of energy dissipation, helping prevent injury. A tough and durable outer shell works with moulded Aramid bridges to enhance both structural strength, and integrity and improve penetration protection. This is one tough helmet. While the peak is great for keeping out sun and rain, it's also safe, breaking away from the helmet body in a crash, reducing damaging forces upon your neck. Meanwhile, the chin guard features a removable grill, offering protection from mud and dirt in winter but easily removed to boost airflow in warmer weather or a tough enduro climb. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.
