This limited edition helmet is the same as that used by the EF Education-EasyPost team cyclists. This inspiring model, both high-performance and protective, will be available from the end of June 2023 in online stores and at selected retailers, as well as on POCsports.com.

Regarding this limited edition, Lina Elfstrand, Marketing Manager for POC, explains: “Cycling is one of the sports that brings together the most enthusiasts. At all races, the roadsides are full of supporters who want to get close to their favorite cyclists and admire their achievements. Dressed in pink and ready to cheer on the participants come rain or shine, EF Education-EasyPost fans are easy to spot. We wanted to honor and support them by creating the helmet they have been asking us for for a long time. It allows them to imitate their idols and show them their support during their rides.”

The helmet

This limited edition helmet is exactly the same version of the Ventral Air Mips as that used by EF Education-EasyPost cyclists. Benefiting from very significant ventilation and minimal weight, while offering very high protection, the Ventral Air Mips has proven itself in the most important WorldTour races. Its availability coincides with the biggest cycling event, the Tour de France.

Jonathan Vaughters of the EF Education-EasyPost team adds: “Success in professional cycling is based on performance. Our helmets benefit from the best performance in terms of weight, ventilation, and safety. Supporters, who support and inspire us, are essential for professional teams. POC helmets are unique: they optimize the potential of the team and each of its members. We are delighted that our supporters can now equip themselves from head to toe in pink and benefit from the same products as our members.”

The design

Pink is recognized as the color of EF Education-EasyPost. The 2023 design features the iconic shade, accompanied by colors inspired by the team’s past, present, and future. Of course, “argyle,” the fans’ favorite pattern, is maintained.

The Ventral Air Mips

The award-winning Ventral Air helmet features an optimized structure. It has precisely placed vents, as well as internal channels to control air intake and release, at high speed as well as at a slower pace. This improves ventilation and reduces the cyclist’s wind resistance.

The Ventral Air is exceptionally light. However, it features a fully wrapped unibody shell construction that ensures superior safety. Its internal EPS structure offers a perfect balance between weight and safety. This helmet is also equipped with Mips technology.

Its lightweight adjustment system and precise ergonomic straps ensure an exact and flexible fit. This model also allows for storing a pair of glasses in dedicated eye garages.
