We tested the POC Tectal Race Spin helmet

Today we are happier than ever to bring you a new product test, but it’s not just any test. During several training sessions, we had the pleasure to test the new POC Tectal Race Spin helmet, following the trails and technical areas of the mountain, and we were very surprised!

If anyone thought this model was heavy or tough, they would have no choice but to change their mind. From the very first moment, we noticed how light it was, despite its aesthetics. When we put it on, we felt a nice comfort and an excellent fit.

We had no doubt that this was a premium model with excellent performance. And to suit all styles, it is available in three different colours: black-grey, black-blue and white-black.

1. POC Tectal Race Spin: Technologies

The most important advantage we would like to highlight about this helmet is the SPIN (Shearing Pad Inside) technology. It was POC’s new patented padding system that gave us an excellent fit and comfort throughout the ride, thanks to its protection against oblique shocks.

The POC Tectal Race Spin helmet continues to feature RECCO technology. This function is based on a reflector on the back of the helmet, which allows rescuers to locate us using RECCO sensors. This system, which is increasingly used in premium products, represents a major advance in terms of user safety.

The POC Tectal Race Spin helmet is also distinguished by many other details that make it efficient and functional: the movable visor that can be adjusted to different heights, the rear attachment of the glasses or the convenient carrying bag included with the product.

2. POC Tectal Race Spin: test

For this test, we tried it out in several training sessions on the technical routes we are used to. One of the best feelings we had was the good ventilation it gave us. This advantage is due to the multiple openings throughout the helmet casing. Of course, this is a concern when it comes to a closed black shell, but the POC Tectal Race Spin convinced us in this regard as well.

It should also be noted that the adjustment of the visor is very easy to handle, even when on the move. The same applies to the rear adjustment.

3. POC Tectal Race Spin: Conclusions

The POC Tectal Race Spin helmet is the ideal helmet for mountain biking and Enduro. Safety, comfort and lightness are the 3 main characteristics of this product, created by the prestigious brand POC.
