FAQs

What is the MIPS Brain Protection System?

MIPS is a leading slip-plane inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can occur during angled impacts to the head.

How do I determine the correct size helmet?

Measure the circumference of your head, typically about one inch above your eyebrows and ears. Compare this measurement to the helmet's size guide (e.g., L for 59-62 cm).

Can the visor be removed completely?

The visor is designed to snap off in an impact. While not intended for permanent removal, it can often be detached and reattached.

Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?

The POC Cularis is specifically designed for mountain biking, prioritizing features like extended coverage and ventilation for off-road conditions. It is not optimized for road cycling.

How often should I replace my helmet?

It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent.

What does 'Uranium Black Matt' mean for the color?

This refers to a specific matte black finish used by POC, indicating a sophisticated and non-reflective black color for the helmet.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or wobbly

Adjust the 360° size adjustment system using the dial at the rear. Ensure the straps are also properly tightened.

Helmet causes pressure points or discomfort

Re-adjust the fit using the 360° system and chin straps. Ensure the helmet is sitting level on your head and not tilted. Check if the size is appropriate for your head circumference.

Visor detachment mechanism is stiff

Ensure the breakaway visor is properly aligned. Minor debris can sometimes affect its function; clean the attachment points gently.

Ventilation feels inadequate

While the helmet is designed for ventilation, airflow can be affected by riding speed and external conditions. Ensure no obstructions are blocking the vents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation for comfort on long rides.
  • Integrated MIPS system enhances safety.
  • Lightweight design reduces neck strain.
  • Breakaway visor minimizes neck injury risk.
  • Secure and adjustable fit for various head shapes.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for mountain biking; may not be ideal for road cycling.
  • Open-face design offers less facial protection than full-face helmets.
  • Specific features like the goggle clip might not be used by all riders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fit Adjustment: Use the 360° size adjustment system located at the rear of the helmet. Turn the dial to tighten or loosen the fit until it feels snug and secure, without being uncomfortably tight. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head.
  2. Visor Adjustment: The visor can be adjusted by hand. For safety, ensure it is set to breakaway position, which allows it to detach in an impact.
  3. Strap Adjustment: Adjust the chin straps so they form a 'V' shape around your earlobes, and the buckle is comfortably positioned under your chin.

Compatibility:

  • The Cularis helmet is designed to be compatible with most cycling goggles. The integrated goggle clip helps secure them when not in use.
  • Its open-face design ensures compatibility with various riding eyewear.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the helmet using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's materials.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use a helmet bag if available to protect it from scratches.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or frayed straps. If significant damage is found, the helmet should be replaced.
