Full details

The MET Intercity MIPS Helmet is designed for adult urban cyclists, particularly eBike riders, offering advanced safety features and enhanced comfort. Its key benefit is superior protection due to NTA 8776 certification and MIPS-C2® technology, though some users might find the integrated visor less versatile than a separate one.

FAQs

What makes the NTA 8776 certification different from standard certifications?

The NTA 8776 standard is specifically designed for eBike riders. It requires helmets to dissipate significantly more impact energy and undergo impact testing at a higher speed (21% higher than traditional standards) with increased coverage in critical brain areas.

How does the MIPS-C2® system work?

MIPS-C2® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is engineered to add protection against rotational motion. It allows the helmet to slide relative to the head in the event of an angled impact, redirecting those harmful rotational forces away from the brain.

How long does the LED light battery last and how is it recharged?

The battery life for the MET Magnetic USB LED Light is up to 8 hours. A full charge takes approximately one hour and is done via a USB-C port on the light.

Can I remove the integrated visor?

The product description does not specify if the visor is removable. It is integrated into the helmet design for eye protection.

What sizes are available for the MET Intercity MIPS Helmet?

The helmet is available in sizes S (52-56cm), M (56-58cm), and L (58-61cm).

Is this helmet suitable for road cycling in general, or only eBikes?

While certified specifically for eBikes (NTA 8776), the enhanced protection and features make it suitable for any adult cyclist who prioritizes safety and comfort in urban environments.

How do I clean the helmet and its components?

The helmet shell can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. The interior pads are hand washable. The LED light should be wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure all components are dry before reassembly or use.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points

Readjust the MET Safe-T Heta fit system using the rear dial. Ensure the 360° head belt is not over-tightened. Check strap positioning and adjust dividers if necessary.

Visor fogs up in cold or humid conditions

Ensure the visor is clean. Try to maintain some airflow by slightly adjusting the helmet's position or ensuring vents are not blocked. Periodic cleaning of the visor may help.

LED light is not charging

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the light and the power source. Try a different USB cable or power adapter. Check if the charging port on the light is clean and free of debris.

Strap buckle is difficult to fasten/unfasten

Ensure the two halves of the Fidlock® magnetic buckle are aligned correctly before attempting to connect. Keep the magnetic surfaces clean of dirt or debris.

Helmet feels loose during riding

Re-tighten the MET Safe-T Heta fit system. Ensure the chin straps are adjusted appropriately and the dividers are set for a secure fit. The helmet should not move excessively when shaking your head.

The Fidlock® magnetic buckle can be closed with one hand. The MET Magnetic USB LED Light attaches easily to the rear; ensure it is securely in place before riding.

Care:

  • Helmet Shell: Clean the exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Pads: The comfort pads are hand washable. Remove them gently and wash with cool water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
  • LED Light: Wipe the light with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the USB-C port is dry before charging. Recharge the battery using the provided USB cable. The light is water-resistant, but avoid submerging it.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it where it could be crushed or damaged.
