Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings has identified two unreleased POC helmets, the Cularis and Cytal, as the safest options for mountain biking and road cycling, respectively. Although specific details about these helmets are limited, their recognition by such a reputable independent testing body suggests they will be launched soon. The Virginia Tech testing method is noted for its thoroughness, evaluating helmets with a series of varied impact tests, rather than a simplistic pass/fail system, ultimately ensuring more reliable safety ratings for cyclists.
The recently updated Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings have recognized POC's unreleased Cularis and Cytal helmets as the safest in both mountain biking and road cycling categories.
With comprehensive independent safety tests, the Virginia Tech ratings provide a significant insight into helmet performance, emphasizing energy absorption rather than a simple pass/fail approach.
As POC hasn't officially announced these models yet, the fact that they have been tested and listed suggests their imminent release based on rigorous evaluation.
Virginia Tech's testing encompasses six types of impacts, assessing helmets at varied speeds and emphasizing realistic cycling crash scenarios, thus providing meaningful safety benchmarks.
