Octal MIPS Ultralight Road Helmet with Eye Garage

Updated on 2026-09-06

The Octal is recognized for its iconic design and exceptionally low weight, making it a favorite for road and gravel cyclists. It features a unibody shell construction that improves structural strength while allowing for larger ventilation ports. These massive vents ensure that the rider stays cool even in the hottest summer riding conditions.

This model incorporates MIPS technology to address rotational energy in the event of a crash. Despite its light weight, the helmet provides extensive coverage around the temples and the back of the head. The EPS liner is strategically thicker in high-impact areas to provide optimized protection without adding unnecessary bulk to the overall profile.

Practical features include a dedicated eye garage, which uses high-friction pads to keep sunglasses securely in place when tucked into the vents. The lightweight adjustment system provides a personalized fit that is easy to tune on the fly. It is a versatile piece of equipment suitable for road racing, cyclocross, and long gravel adventures.
