An extended shell gives gravel and cyclocross riders extra protection in this highly ventilated helmet. The Octal X MIPS further develops the award-winning Octal road helmet, tailoring it to the needs of the gravel and cyclocross riders. With an extended shell covering more of the helmet liner compared to the Octal, the Octal X MIPS benefits from enhanced strength properties at a very low weight.Features shared with the Octal include the extreme ventilation, aerodynamic efficiency, a unibody shell construction, and an EPS liner, as well as POC's proven aramid bridge technology, giving extra strength and penetration protection. All these features come as part of our whole-helmet approach to design and construction in order to deliver superior levels of comfort, fit, and performance. The inclusion of MIPS enhances the helmet's rotational impact protection.Features:- Aramid Bridges- Eye Garage- Optimized ventilation- MIPS Evolve: The rotational impact protection system featuring the well-known yellow low-friction layer.- RECCO® Reflector: A RECCO® Reflector helps rescue services easily and quickly locate you if something goes wrong.- EPS Liner: A lightweight EPS liner gives optimized protection.- Aramid Bridges: Aramid bridges are molded to the helmet liner to enhance structural stability and improve penetration protection.- Fully Wrapped Unibody Shell: The fully wrapped unibody PC shell enhances the structural integrity of the helmet.- Adjustable 360° Fit: A 360° adjustment system makes it easy to find a secure, comfortable fit.- Unique Ventilation Design: Fewer, larger vents support cooling and aerodynamic efficiency.- Eye Garage: Specific high-friction pads to the front of the helmet mean it is easy to securely store sunglasses while riding.
