Helmet
POC Sonal
POC's newest and, it says, fastest TT helmet, developed with EF Pro Cycling for the 2026 Tour de France. It is the first TT helmet sold in two shell widths matched to the rider's shoulder width rather than head size, with the same internal fit (51-59 cm) in both. The elongated front deflects the high-pressure zone ahead of the helmet, the forehead angle is set to the line of sight in the aero position, and two magnetic lenses are included.
