FAQs
What does MIPS C2® protection do?
MIPS C2® is a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during angled impacts, enhancing safety.
Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?
While the MET Terrae MIPS is designed for trail and e-MTB, its robust protection and features can be beneficial for some road riders who want extra coverage, though it may be warmer and heavier than a dedicated road helmet.
How do I clean the helmet?
Wipe the exterior and interior padding with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely. Do not use harsh chemicals.
What is the NTA 8776 certification?
NTA 8776 is a Dutch standard for speed pedelec (e-bike) helmets, requiring higher impact energy absorption and greater coverage than standard bicycle helmets. This makes the Terrae MIPS suitable for higher speed impacts.
Can I replace the internal padding?
Yes, the internal padding is typically removable and washable. Check the product manual or manufacturer's website for specific instructions on removal and replacement if needed.
How much does the helmet weigh?
The MET Terrae MIPS helmet weighs approximately 420g for the 58-61cm size.
What is the warranty period for this helmet?
Please refer to the official MET warranty information or contact the retailer for details on the warranty period and coverage.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or moves during riding.
Re-adjust the Safe-T Heta Fit System dial to increase tension. Ensure the 360° head belt is properly positioned around your head and that the vertical adjustment is set correctly.
Visor is not staying in position.
Check the adjustment mechanism for the visor. Ensure it is tightened sufficiently for your desired position. If damaged, contact customer support.
Straps are uncomfortable or causing irritation.
Adjust the strap dividers so they sit just below your earlobes. Ensure the chin strap is snug but not overly tight. Clean the straps if they feel stiff or abrasive.
Ventilation feels insufficient.
Ensure the internal air channels are not blocked by hair or sweatbands. For extreme heat, active cooling measures like a bandana may be supplemented.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Advanced rotational impact protection with MIPS C2®.
- Higher safety standard certified (NTA 8776) for trail and e-MTB.
- Comfortable and secure fit with the Safe-T Heta system.
- Ventilated design for prolonged comfort on long rides.
- Integrated features like a safety-release visor and sunglass ports.
Cons
- Specific sizing (58-61cm) may not fit all riders without a trial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Adjust the Safe-T Heta Fit System using the dial at the back for a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure the 360° head belt is evenly tensioned.

Compatibility:
- The MET Terrae MIPS is designed for adult riders.
