FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the integrated carbon wing?

The integrated carbon wing enhances aerodynamic efficiency and helps distribute impact forces more evenly across the helmet structure, improving both speed and safety.

How do I clean my POC Cytal Carbon helmet?

Clean the helmet using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents to protect the carbon elements and shell.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

The POC Cytal Carbon Cycling Helmet is specifically designed for high-performance road cycling. For mountain biking, a helmet with different protective features and coverage may be more appropriate.

How does the adjustment system work?

The Full Wrap Adjustment System allows you to fine-tune the fit from the temples to the rear of the helmet using a dial, ensuring a secure and personalized fit.

What should I do after the helmet has been in a crash?

It is strongly recommended to replace the helmet after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is present. The internal protective structure may be compromised.

Can I wear sunglasses with this helmet?

Yes, the helmet's design is generally compatible with most cycling eyewear, allowing for easy integration.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the Full Wrap Adjustment System at the rear of the helmet. Ensure the straps are also correctly positioned and tightened.

Straps are uncomfortable under the chin.

Re-adjust the slider on the straps to ensure they form a 'V' shape below the ears and the chin strap is snug but not constricting.

Ventilation feels inadequate during strenuous activity.

Ensure the front vents are not obstructed by clothing or accessories. For optimal airflow, maintain sufficient riding speed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Fit Adjustment: Utilize the Full Wrap Adjustment System by turning the dial at the rear to tighten or loosen the fit around your head. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head, covering the forehead, with the adjustment system cradling the base of your skull.
  2. Strap Adjustment: Adjust the chin straps so they form a 'V' shape below each earlobe and are snug but comfortable under the chin.

Compatibility:

This helmet is designed for adult cyclists and is generally compatible with most cycling eyewear. It is intended for road cycling use.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the helmet shell and straps using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet materials, especially the carbon elements.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it where it could be crushed or damaged.
  • Impacts: If the helmet sustains a significant impact, it should be replaced, even if no visible damage is apparent, as its protective capabilities may be compromised.
