Featherlight Lid: POC Ventral Lite HelmetFebruary 23, 2021 at 9:00 AM Obtaining the lightest helmet available isn’t always the ultimate goal. In years past, the end result would have been worthy of serious question. With the current focus on helmet construction and safety — including the integration of additional technologies like MIPS, WaveCel, Koroyd and others — it could be seen as antithetical to introduce a 190 gram, fully-featured road helmet to the market. And, while it’s astoundingly light, the fact hat the Ventral Lite is made by POC tells me that they ma...Tags: News, Sport, Cycling, Helmets, CPSC, MIPS, POC, Road Biking, Smith Maze, Oscar Huss, Ventral Lite, Ventral Air Lite 140 people like this.

But in our world of outdoor recreation, it was one thing above all else: the year of the bike. Shops big and small all over the country were totally sold out of their inventory as people got outside on two wheels. It was amazing, but it also got really hard to get a bike.
