The POC Axion Race MIPS is POC's trail helmet, built for mountain biking rather than the road. It suits trail and enduro riding, and anyone who wants extended coverage without the weight of a full face.

Coverage extends around the temples and down the back of the head, which is where trail crashes tend to land. A lightweight EPS liner sits inside a unibody polycarbonate shell, and MIPS Integra handles rotational forces without the extra plastic layer older systems needed, so ventilation is not compromised. The peak is a patented breakaway design that snaps off in a crash rather than transmitting force into your neck. A 360 degree adjuster dials the fit.
