POC Introduces Omne Lite and Omne Ultra Helmets

These two innovative models perfectly complement the Omne family, which includes the iconic Omne Air, Omne Resistance, POCito Omne, and Omne Eternal helmets. The Omne range provides superior safety and great versatility for cyclists who want to develop their potential.

Oscar Huss, Head of Product for POC, explains: “The goal of the Omne family is to inspire and protect cyclists. These complete multi-discipline helmets offer superior performance and perfectly combine form and function. We are excited to introduce two new versions, Omne Lite and Omne Ultra, which bring new perspectives and unprecedented options to the ever-developing Omne family.”

Omne Lite

Integrating award-winning innovations and technologies, the Omne Lite enables improved cycling performance thanks to its perfected lightweight protection. Based on the structure of the Omne Air, this helmet is lighter and more ventilated, which maximizes comfort. The optimization of the area covered by the polycarbonate shell lightens the helmet, while the addition of ventilation holes at the back promotes air circulation. The result is superior comfort, especially in hot weather.

Oscar Huss, Head of Product Development for POC, adds: “To maximize safety, all our helmets are designed with the idea of the “complete helmet” at the center of our design process. This allows us to perfect the design and is accompanied by the use of carefully selected materials. Our “Omne” helmets are constantly evolving. The goal is an optimal balance between weight, ventilation, comfort, and fit. Their incredible versatility allows them to adapt to a variety of cyclists and practices. ”

Omne Ultra

The Omne Ultra is one of a kind. Designed to be personalized, it inspires those who embark on long cycling adventures. The Omne Ultra represents the spirit of cycling and adventure, so that each person can find their own path according to their individual perspective. Starting from the structure of the Omne Air, this helmet features attachment points, straps, and Velcro on the exterior, allowing all-terrain cyclists to attach a rain cover, an identification patch, or even store small items before or after a ride. Designed as an integral tool for adventure as well as offering superior protection, it allows for infinite improvisation.

The Omne Family – Information

The Omne Air helmet features an advanced expanded polystyrene internal structure, offering the perfect balance between lightness and safety. Technologies such as the Mips system complement POC’s complete helmet concept, with careful design and carefully selected materials.

Aerodynamic ventilation holes and a semi-shell construction contribute to a helmet offering the ideal combination of speed and ventilation, with a slim profile. This is possible thanks to the targeted thickness of key areas of the internal structure as well as the optimized coverage of the helmet shell.

Multiple innovations and technologies, such as the 360° adjustment system and unique precise fit, contribute to the exceptional comfort and precision of this helmet. The Omne Air Resistance helmet builds on the Omne Air structure but is designed specifically for versatile use. The POCito Omne Air offers the same technology, with highly visible fluorescent colors to attract attention from afar and as early as possible to young cyclists. Reflective details further increase safety.

The Omne Eternal is also worth mentioning, as it is the only one of its kind to recharge from all light sources, indoors and outdoors. Thus, the light is always charged and ready to operate when you go out cycling, thanks to clean and limitless energy.

Very simple to use, this safety technology allows cyclists to focus on their ride. The helmet has sensors that automatically activate the light based on light conditions when you wear it. When you take it off, the light automatically turns off.

Highly praised by cyclists, Omne helmets are safe, lightweight, well-ventilated, and comfortable. The Omne Eternal, thanks to its unique Powerfoyle shell, adds light-harvesting technology that serves as a permanent energy source for the light.
