POC Releases Robin Goomes Signature-Edition Coron MTB Bike Helmet, Ora Goggle

POC, the Swedish protection brand known for safety, innovation and design, and Robin Goomes, who made history in 2024 as the first woman to win the Red Bull Rampage, this week launched a signature-edition Coron Air helmet and Ora goggle.  

Designed with input from Goomes, the helmet and goggle are available immediately and will be part of Goomes’ set-up ahead of the next edition of the Rampage in October, where she will defend her title.

Goomes, who hails from the Chatham Islands off the coast of New Zealand, has been inspiring bike riders for many years. With many firsts, she has already established herself as a pioneer in the scene, including the first competition backflip and an invitation to Darkfest, an event that pushes the boundaries of the sport.

But being a pioneer is not the only thing that sets Goomes apart — it is as much her humble approach, the pure joy she exudes in riding her bike, as well as her connection to home, all of which have found their way into the Coron and Ora's design. 

"Each day I tell myself that 'every day is a dream.’ I'm grateful for this life and getting to ride a bike every day, and I never want to take it for granted,” Goomes said. “I chose the checkers because I tend to wear them a lot. I used to race bikes, so I like how the checkers connect to racing. The Kiwi bird is the national bird of NZ, and it's a symbol of the NZ defence force that I served with, so it's a reminder of my roots. The bits of pink are inspired by my Rampage kit from last year. Young kids were really taken with "backflip Barbie," and that blew me away. I'm humbled to have my own special editions and really excited about this design. I hope others are too. 

The new editions are created on the award-winning Coron helmet, which has long been recognized for its protection, innovation, ventilation and leadership in MTB protection. The Coron is paired with the mountain bike-specific Ora Goggle, which delivers a seamless fit with unparalleled vision and comfort.

Robin and POC have been collaborating since 2020 and share many ideas on safety and innovation. Still, the foundation of the partnership has always been inspiration, as POC's head of Sports Marketing, Amber Stackhouse, adds, "Robin approaches her riding with a rare mix of grit, talent, and power. She's able to step up under pressure while remaining deeply connected to the culture and community of mountain biking. Even before making history at Rampage and breaking through to the mainstream as 'Backflip Barbie,' we knew she had the qualities to inspire a signature collaboration. We wanted to celebrate that with special editions that reflect her style, her power, and the inspiration she brings to riders everywhere."

Coron Air Robin Goomes Edition

• The award-winning Coron Air Robin Goomes Edition delivers performance protection all day long. Developed using POC's Whole Helmet Concept™ to provide superior levels of comfort, fit and performance, the helmet is optimised for all-day use. 
• Defined ventilation channels ensure airflow is maximised at both low and high speeds, giving comfort and coolness whether riding with or against gravity.
•  The inclusion of MIPS in the full-face helmet enhances overall rotational impact protection.
• Specially formed ear chambers are designed to minimise the negative effect on balance and hearing associated with wearing a full-face helmet. A fibreglass shell and a multi-impact EPP liner provide impact protection and durability while maintaining a low weight.

Ora Robin Goomes Edition

• The Ora Robin Goomes Edition mountain bike goggle has been created to meet the precise needs and demands of modern mountain bikers. A neutral lens and cylindrical lens shape give eye comfort and trusted vision across a broad range of light conditions.
• The Ora has been created to optimise a rider's field of view. With an exceptionally large frame, the goggles do not interfere with vision on the horizontal or vertical plane. The mountain bike goggles offer a close and comfortable fit with POC helmets, in particular the Coron and Otocon full-face helmets. 
• The soft and flexible frame follows the contours of your face, and the triple-layer face foam, coated with Coolmax fabric, provides comfort next to the skin. The adjustable strap ensures the goggles fit securely next to any helmet. 
• With a range of different lenses available and a quick and easy lens change system, you can always be sure to have the sharpest vision on any trail.

The Robin Goomes Coron Air ($390) and Ora ($110) editions are available now online at POC.com and in selected retail stores.
