How a simple replacement part can redefine your helmet’s lifespan and safety
The Helmet Maintenance Secret Pro Riders Know

Most riders either endure deteriorating padding or unnecessarily replace entire helmets, compromising either comfort or budget. The POC Kortal Race Mips Pad Kit offers an elegant third way: targeted renewal that maintains peak performance at a fraction of the cost.

From Frustration to Freedom: A Rider’s Transformation
Initial State
Sarah’s favorite helmet lost its cushioning after two seasons of endurance riding. The once-perfect fit now caused pressure points on century rides.

During a crucial race, discomfort became distraction. She nearly purchased a $275 replacement despite her helmet’s intact structure.
The Solution
The Kortal Pad Kit restored the original ergonomics for less than 10% of a new helmet’s cost. Sarah’s next podium finish proved performance wasn’t compromised.
Why Serious Cyclists Choose POC Replacement Pads
For Mountain Bikers
The POC Kortal Race Mips replacement pads maintain crucial impact protection during technical descents. Unlike generic pads that compress unpredictably, these maintain consistent density to work with the helmet’s Mips safety system exactly as engineered.
For Road Racers
Aerodynamics matter in competitive cycling. The Kortal Race pad kit preserves the helmet’s original wind-cheating profile while restoring sweat absorption. No break-in period means immediate comfort for race day.
