An evolution in protection when it was first released, this modern classic among road cycling helmets is now updated to include Mips.
A distinctive design based around fewer, larger vents provides optimal ventilation and comfort on the longest and hottest cycling tours. Updated to include Mips, the Octal road cycling helmet is optimized to perfectly balance protection and performance.
The helmet's EPS liner is thicker in the zones where most impacts occur, giving every rider enhanced protection where it is most needed.
A fully wrapped unibody shell enhances the structural stiffness of the helmet, giving optimum strength at a low weight.
Developed for protection without a weight penalty, the helmet also features a lightweight size adjustment system and adjustable chin straps, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.

Generously ventilated
