POC Kortal

When it comes to mountain biking, a helmet is your best protection. And among the most reliable products on the market, the POC Kortal helmet clearly stands out. Whether you're into road cycling, mountain biking, or enduro, this model meets all your expectations: maximum safety thanks to MIPS technology, high-end ventilation, comfort on long rides, and perfect compatibility with your glasses, masks, and other essential accessories.

Why choose a POC Kortal helmet?

MIPS technology for increased protection

When it comes to cycling safety, it's impossible to overlook MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology. The POC Kortal mountain bike helmet incorporates this innovation on certain versions to offer the cyclist enhanced protection against rotational impacts.

The principle is simple: MIPS allows the helmet's inner shell to move slightly relative to the outer shell in the event of an impact. This reduces the force transmitted to the brain and increases overall safety. Whether you're riding on the road or on technical terrain, this technology is a real plus.

Ventilation and comfort: drive cool

A good helmet must protect, but also keep your head cool. The Kortal excels thanks to generous ventilation and optimized airflow. Whether you're working hard on an enduro bike or on a more relaxed ride, you'll enjoy consistent comfort.

The large vents are designed to prevent overheating. And since safety also depends on vigilance, staying cool allows you to maintain full concentration on driving.

Features of the POC Kortal helmet

Quality design and materials

The POC Kortal MTB helmet not only looks great, it's built to last. Its strong, lightweight shell provides optimal protection while minimizing weight.

Its main assets:

• Extended coverage at the back and temples for a maximum security.
• Flip-up visor for easy adjustment of a mask or cycling glasses.
• Fastening system that detaches in the event of a fall to reduce the risk of injury.
• Compatible with RECCO® technology and some versions equipped with Medical ID NFC to assist emergency services.

Available for men and women, this helmet combines protection and aesthetics for all styles of cyclists.

Compatibility with glasses and accessories

The Kortal cycling helmet has been designed to integrate perfectly with POC Ora goggles and masks, but also works with most accessories on the market.

Its lifting visor is a real asset:

• When climbing, you can place your mask on your forehead without hindering ventilation.
• When going downhill, it protects your eyes from the sun and splashes.

And for complete equipment, the Kortal combines perfectly with other POC MTB protection and clothing, as well as other MTB equipment available on the market.

Size guide for a perfect fit

A poorly fitting helmet is like riding a bike without a saddle: uncomfortable and unsafe. The POC Kortal helmet features a rear dial that allows for precise adjustment, even with gloves on.

Sizes cover the majority of cyclists:

• Small: 51 to 54 cm
• Medium: 55 to 58 cm
• Large: 59 to 62 cm

Measure your head circumference above your eyebrows to choose the ideal size. A good fit maximizes the protection and comfort, especially during long mountain bike or road bike rides. And if you want to try another model from the POC range, Snowleader recommends the POC Tectal helmet.

POC Kortal Headset FAQ

How to maintain your helmet?

To extend the life of your helmet and maintain its protective performance, regular maintenance is essential. After each ride, clean it with a soft cloth and warm water. Remove and wash the internal foam to prevent unpleasant odors, especially after long sessions where ventilation has been used. Store your helmet away from sunlight and any heat sources.

How long does a helmet last?

Even a high-end product like the POC Kortal has a limited lifespan. Generally, replace your helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately after a significant impact. The internal foam gradually loses its shock-absorbing properties, even if the shell appears intact. And for your safety, prevention is better than cure.
