  • POC Octal Raceday Helmet. The award winning Octal helmet has been engineered to take the next step in road bike helmet safety and offers optimal ventilation, comfort and weighs less than 200 grams (size M, CE-version) To further improve safety, the Octal provides more coverage and additional protection for the temples and back of the head and the EPS liner is strategically thicker in the most exposed areas The fully wrapped unibody shell construction functions as a monocoque and enhances the safety properties and construction integrity of the helmet while maintaining a low weight POC has approached ventilation in a unique way and instead of using many small vents, Octal has fewer, but larger, ventilation slots. This ventilation design allows more air to flow through the helmet, which also results in improved aerodynamic performance The lightweight size adjustment system ensures a comfortable and secure fit while the Coolbest padding helps reduce the temperature at the interface between the helmet and head Features: Sizing Note: Fit as per size guideHigh performance EPS liner, optimized in density Fully wrapped unibody shell construction Generously ventilated, using POC’s unique ventilation design Size adjustment system Straps molded into liner Temperature regulating Coolbest padding Eye garage to keep your sunglasses securely in position when placed on the helmet Weight:¬† 190g – 205gCertifications:¬†EN 1078, CPSC 12 03, AS/NZS2063-2008This helmet conforms to, or exceeds EU Standards only Buy¬†POC Helmets from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.

No matter what type of bike product your buying, from the simple accessories through to the full setup of your custom built road bike, there are lots of important considerations that you should take into account, especially when you’re shopping online and unable to test the product first. This is especially true when you’re buying products like Helmets.

Our aim is simple, help you get the very best products for your budget. Whether that’s POC Octal Raceday Helmet 2018 or an alternative, we’ll do our best to find you unbiased, genuine customer reviews to help you make your decision. We’ve found 451 different products in the Helmets category at Chain Reaction Cycles and we’ve also managed to find 94 products from POC (although only 17 of the 94 are in the Helmets category).

Our first piece of advice is for you to spend some time really getting to know what it is you’re looking for. An important feature for one person might be totally pointless and irrelevant to you, so get a good idea of what you want and need from your Helmets. Note down this list of key features that your product must have, that way when you’re comparing alternatives you have a starting point to decide whether one product meets your needs or not.

Price is the next and probably one of the most important factors of a purchase, so it’s really worthwhile spending a bit of time analysing the price of POC Octal Raceday Helmet 2018 and seeing how it stacks up against those offered by different brands or even other alternatives from POC. Below we’re going to get into the detail of POC Octal Raceday Helmet 2018 to help you see how the prices stack up.

We start this price analysis by looking at the price you can expect to pay for Helmets. There are 451 different products available at Chain Reaction Cycles, and of those 451, the average price is £97.36. There’s quite a variance in price in this category too with the lowest priced product we found at £2.99 and most expensive was £450.

The next stage we went on to, was to look at the price of products from the brand: POC. The average price was £112.92 and we found that the price varies right from as little as £9.09 up to £400 with POC products.

And finally we thought it would be good to give you an idea of POC products that appear specifically in the Helmets category. So you can see that the price of POC Octal Raceday Helmet 2018 at £130 is great value considering the average price of POC Helmets is £162.56 and the price varies from £58.49.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that we managed to find POC Octal Raceday Helmet 2018 during our price scan of several cycle retailers, for the amazing price of £130 which represents a £50.00 or 28% saving against RRP. If you think POC Octal Raceday Helmet 2018 ticks all of your boxes in terms of quality and features then it’s more than likely going to be a winner bearing in mind the price.
