Octal MIPS Road and CX Unibody Helmet

$219
Checked 2026-10-21

The Octal is built with a focus on ventilation and weight reduction, utilizing a unibody shell that allows for fewer, larger vents. This design creates a massive surface area for air to flow through, keeping the head cool during the most demanding climbs. It is particularly well-suited for road, gravel, and cyclocross disciplines where temperature regulation is key.

Safety is a core component of this helmet, featuring the MIPS system to help protect against rotational impacts. The unibody construction acts as a monocoque, enhancing the structural integrity of the entire unit. This ensures that the helmet remains robust and protective while maintaining its signature ultralight feel for the endurance athlete.

The interior features a 360-degree fit system that provides a secure and comfortable wrap without the need for excessive padding. An integrated eye garage allows for the safe storage of eyewear when not in use. This SKU provides the essential features required by serious cyclists who prioritize a lightweight and highly breathable head protection solution.
