Ahead of Eurobike, Swedish protectives brand POC has lifted the curtain on its 2017 range of cycling gear, including a new helmet and clothing series designed to satisfy the needs of cross-country mountain bikers. POC's updated range also sees new additions to the Fondo line, plus tweaks to its protective backpacks.
At the time of writing, pricing and availability have yet to be announced – we'll update as more information comes to light.

It has always been POC's stated mission to make the safest equipment out there, which is why it too the brand so long to venture into road helmets.
Things have now come full circle, with the original Octal road lid first offering heavy influence to the Tectal trail helmet and now the Octal X, aimed at cross-country riders. Aesthetically the Octal X is near-identical to the standard Octal – no point in fixing what ain't broken about the fantastic ventilation, low weight, and unibody shell construction.
Under the hood though, POC has added its aramid bridge technology, which the brand says spreads impact forces. POC also says the shell has been extended to cover more of the helmet liner to make the lid more robust with minimal added weight.
