POC Tectal Race MIPS NFC HelmetBringing the best safety technology to mountain bike trails, the POC Tectal Race MIPS NFC Helmet features MIPS head protection, a Recco location reflector and wICEme® NFC Medical ID chip. When you're taking on the most demanding MTB trails it's an essential pick. Let the Tectal do the TalkingWhen you’re mountain biking, crashing is a part of the game. It’s how you progress. Get better. Push boundaries. However, there may be a time when you’re not able to simply dust yourself down and carry on riding. It’s here the POC Tectal Race MIPS NFC Helmet comes in. It features a twICEme® NFC Medical ID chip, letting you store vital medical and emergency contact details. With an NFC-enabled smartphone first responders can read the chip and make the best treatment decisions there and then.And if that wasn’t enough, a RECCO® Reflector lets emergency services scan for you should you become lost on a backcountry mountain biking adventure.Take on The Trails with ConfidenceThe construction method of the Tectal race is borrowed from POC's groundbreaking Octal road cycling helmet. This sees a tough unibody shell bonded to a shock-absorbing EPS liner. The shell provides durable protection against minor knocks and in the event of a more serious fall enhances structural integrity. An Aramid bridge system, first seen in POC’s proven and award-winning Trabec helmet also allow POC to further enhance structural stability and improve penetration protection.At the core of the helmet is the EPS foam liner. This is the layer that soaks up harder head impacts during a fall. The density and thickness vary in order to optimise protection where it's needed most.The design of the Tectal Race also sees greater coverage specifically tailored for mountain biking. This gives extra protection across the temples and back of the head, so you're covered if you go over the bars or off the back.MIPS Integra Head Protection SolutionThe Tectal Race also features the MIPS Integra system. This brings together POC's 'whole-helmet' safety and design ethos with the fully integrated brain-protecting technology of MIPS. This holistic approach sees every detail of the helmet engineered to work in harmony with each other, giving you new levels of seamless safety, comfort, ventilation, fit and function.The Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) is a proven system that reduces the rotational forces on the brain when you're involved in a crash. The forces are absorbed and redirected to prevent them from being transmitted to the brain. MIPS is a Brain Protection SystemRotational motion can cause brain injuriesThe low friction layer allows a sliding movement of 10–15 mm, in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain during impactCool ComfortWhen you're riding, you'll soon be building up body heat. And with it, sweat. And so POC have ensured ventilation is optimised. In fact, they've used wind-tunnel testing to get the airflow just right, so whether going fast or slow, you'll enjoy fresh air over your head. 360-degree Fit SystemIn order to keep the Tectal in place, you’ll find POC’s lightweight 360° fit system. This offers an easy-to-operate and precise fit, ensuring your helmet remains comfortable when riding and stays securely in place in the event of a crash.FeaturestwICEme® NFC Medical ID - stores your vital medical info and emergency contacts within the helmet so first responders can instantly get the information they needMIPS Integra Head Protection SolutionEPS (Expanded Polystyrene) liner - EPS liner gives optimized protectionUnibody shell construction - unibody Polycarbonate shell enhances the structural integrity of the helmetAramid Bridges - moulded to the helmet liner to enhance structural stability and improve penetration protectionWind-tunnel optimized ventilationExtended protection zones - designed to provide more coverage at temples and back of the headEye garage - securely store sunglasses in the ventilation holes at the backRecco reflector - helps rescue services easily and quickly locate you if something goes wrongAdjustable 360-degree fit systemAdjustable peak - adjusted for personalized protection from the elementsWeight: 385g (M)Certification - EN 1078Buy POC Helmets from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
