POC drops new 2026 MTB collection

POC is launching the Cularis Pure helmet this season, a lightweight trail lid inspired by the award-winning Cularis. It carries a five-star Virginia Tech rating and uses the same CFD airflow modeling as its sibling, with large front intake vents and internal air ducts keeping riders cool across any terrain.

The Cularis Pure is built around a new approach to the helmet peak. An interchangeable cover sits over the top of the helmet and can be swapped to close the ventilation ports when conditions turn wet, or removed to maximise airflow on warmer days. On either setting, the peak is engineered to break away on frontal impact, reducing the forces transmitted to your head and neck.

Extended protection zones around the temples and back of the head give extra coverage in the areas where impacts are most likely to occur. An optimised EPS liner concentrates protection where it is needed most, while a lightweight PC shell adds structural stability without adding unnecessary weight. The result is a lightweight helmet that moves with you through technical terrain, without slowing you down on the climbs.

The Cularis Pure features Mips Evolve, a rotational impact protection system that works to reduce rotational forces in the event of an angled impact – the kind most commonly experienced in real-world crashes. A 360° adjustment system makes it easy to find a secure, comfortable fit across a range of head shapes.

Alongside the new Cularis Pure, the new Motion apparel collection brings technically breathable, recycled fabrics and unrestrictive cuts to both men's and women's riders. The collection covers jerseys (below), pants, and shorts built for the intensity of trail riding.

High-performance fabric combines with a relaxed t-shirt fit to give you a jersey that you can take from the trail to the office and everywhere in between.

The polyester-cotton blend is very lightweight with excellent wicking function that won't diminish over time.

The slightly drooped shoulders, small chest pocket and discreet logo give you a casual look while keeping you comfortable and cool during your ride.

On the protection side, POC is introducing VPD Max Joints, a patent-pending evolution of its VPD technology that uses two independent floating layers of Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough for enhanced energy dissipation at the knee and elbow. The updated VPD Air Torso also returns lighter and more flexible while retaining its EN 1621-1 Level 1 certification.

Rounding out the collection is the Devour Mid, a more accessible take on the oversized Devour eyewear, featuring the same Carl Zeiss Clarity lens technology and fully adjustable fit.

Perfectly scaled for smaller faces, the Devour Mid is a smaller version of the classic POC style, the Devour.

With exceptional coverage, the Devour Mid sunglasses give freedom and flexibility while keeping your eyes as covered as goggles. The sunglasses feature fully adjustable temples and nosepiece, making it easy to find a secure fit for every head shape. You'll see every detail on the trails thanks to a frame design that maximises peripheral vision.

Clarity lens technology controls the colour spectrum and is fine-tuned for use on the trail, sharpening the greens and browns associated with this riding environment, all while giving complete UV protection (UV400). A Ri-Pel lens treatment protects from dirt, oil and water, and an anti-scratch coating ensures your vision is always at its best.

Lenses are easy to swap, so you can easily choose an additional lens and use the sunglasses in a wider variety of riding conditions.
