POC Kortal Race MIPS Helmet, Black, Size M/L

The POC Kortal Race MIPS Helmet in Black is a high-performance protective solution engineered specifically for enduro and trail mountain biking. This helmet provides comprehensive head coverage, extending further down the back of the head and temples to ensure maximum safety during aggressive riding. By integrating advanced MIPS rotational impact protection technology, the helmet effectively reduces the risk of brain injury during angled impacts, making it a reliable choice for technical terrain.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this helmet is its focus on safety through the MIPS system, which allows the helmet to move slightly during an impact to absorb rotational forces. The design prioritizes airflow, featuring large ventilation channels that keep the rider cool even during intense climbs or hot weather conditions. Its structural integrity is complemented by a lightweight construction that does not compromise on durability, ensuring long-term performance for dedicated mountain bikers.

Suitable for

• Enduro mountain biking
• Trail riding
• Technical singletrack navigation
• Riders using goggles or sunglasses

This helmet may not be suitable for road cycling or time-trial disciplines where aerodynamic profiles and minimal weight are prioritized over extended coverage and impact protection. Additionally, riders looking for a minimalist or ultra-lightweight helmet for casual commuting may find the robust design and coverage of this model excessive for their needs.

Key specifications

• MIPS rotational impact protection system
• Extended coverage for temples and back of head
• Adjustable visor for goggle storage
• Optimized ventilation channels
• Compatible with mountain bike goggles

To use the POC Kortal Race MIPS, adjust the internal fit system to ensure the helmet sits securely on your head without being overly tight. The visor can be adjusted to accommodate goggles when they are not in use, allowing them to be stored securely on the helmet shell. Ensure the chin strap is fastened and adjusted so that the helmet remains stable during movement.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your head circumference to ensure the M/L size provides a proper fit.
• Consider the compatibility with your existing eyewear or goggles.
• Assess the ventilation requirements based on your typical riding climate.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the helmet shell and internal padding for signs of wear or damage. After any significant impact, the helmet should be replaced immediately, even if no visible damage is present, to maintain its protective capabilities.
