2026 POC Otocon Race Mips MTB Helmet

The Otocon Race Mips brings new meaning to the concept of lightweight full-face protection, combining exceptional ventilation with advanced safety technologies for confident, all-day riding.

Weighing less than 750g (EU standard, size M), the highly ventilated helmet features integrated technology including Mips® rotational impact protection, NFC Medical ID provided by Twiceme® and a RECCO® Reflector to enhance safety.

A dual-material helmet liner balances durability and weight, and offers enhanced protection in zones at risk of more small knocks.

Features including the Race Lock, integrated adjustment system, internal ventilation channels and removable cheek pads give extra comfort and security no matter whether you ride with or against gravity.

The lightweight helmet features a patented breakaway peak to enhance protection in a crash, and includes Aramid bridges on the helmet liner to improve overall structural stability and penetration protection.

Certification

EN 1078

EN 1078 is the European safety standard for cycling, skate and roller-sports helmets. It assesses impact protection, retention-system performance, chin-strap durability and field of vision. A helmet certified to EN 1078 meets the safety criteria for use throughout Europe, offering dependable protection for everyday riding and sport cycling.

NTA 8776

NTA 8776 is a certification developed specifically for e-bike and speed pedelec helmets, reflecting the higher speeds and increased impact forces associated with assisted cycling. The standard requires helmets to be tested at higher impact energies than conventional bicycle certifications and includes extended coverage around vulnerable areas of the head, helping ensure protection is better suited to the demands of e-bike riding.
