Product Information

Full details

The MET Trenta Mips Cycling Helmet is designed for adult road cyclists seeking enhanced speed, superior ventilation, and aerodynamic efficiency. Its key benefit is the reduction of drag by up to 7%, helping riders conserve energy on long rides and in peloton formations. A potential caveat is its specialized design, which may be more than needed for casual riders prioritizing basic protection.

FAQs

What is the MIPS C2 Brain Protection System?

The MIPS C2 is a low-friction layer integrated within the helmet. It is designed to slide relative to the head during certain angled impacts, helping to redirect rotational forces away from the brain, thereby increasing protection.

How does the NACA front vent improve performance?

Inspired by aerospace engineering, the NACA vent is positioned to maximize airflow into the helmet. Combined with internal channelling, it provides cooling efficiency without significantly increasing aerodynamic drag.

Can I use this helmet for mountain biking?

The MET Trenta Mips is engineered primarily for road cycling performance. While it offers excellent protection, its aerodynamic and ventilation features are optimized for road conditions. For mountain biking, dedicated MTB helmets with different coverage and features might be more suitable.

How do I clean the helmet and its pads?

The comfort pads are hand-washable with mild soap and cold water. Allow them to air dry completely. The helmet's exterior should be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the warranty period for this helmet?

Please refer to the product manual or the retailer's warranty information for details on the warranty period and coverage, as this can vary.

How much weight does this helmet save compared to a traditional helmet?

The MET Trenta Mips offers up to 7% drag reduction versus traditional road helmets, which translates to energy savings rather than a direct weight reduction of the helmet itself.

What sizes are available for the MET Trenta Mips helmet?

The helmet is available in three sizes: Small (S) for head circumferences of 52-56cm, Medium (M) for 56-58cm, and Large (L) for 58-61cm.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose.

Adjust the Safe-T Orbital Fit System using the rear dial for a more precise fit. Ensure the straps are correctly adjusted under the ears.

Comfort pads are uncomfortable or irritating.

Ensure the comfort pads are properly seated. If irritation persists, they can be hand-washed and reinserted after drying. Consider if the helmet size is appropriate.

MIPS C2 system seems misaligned or stiff.

The MIPS C2 layer is designed to move. Do not force it. Ensure no debris is trapped between the liner and the shell. If stiffness persists, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior aerodynamic performance, reducing drag and saving energy.
  • Excellent ventilation system for optimal cooling on long rides.
  • Advanced MIPS C2 system provides enhanced rotational impact protection.
  • Lightweight and comfortable design suitable for extended use.
  • Adjustable fit system ensures a secure and personalized fit.

Cons

  • May be overkill for casual or beginner cyclists not focused on performance.
  • The specialized aerodynamic design might be less visually appealing to some.
  • Higher price point compared to basic protective helmets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust the Safe-T Orbital Fit System using the rear dial to achieve a snug, comfortable fit around your head. Ensure the 360-degree head belt is properly positioned.
  2. Adjust the Air Lite straps using the cam divider to ensure they lie flat and comfortably under your ears.
  3. The helmet is designed to fit specific head circumferences (S: 52-56cm, M: 56-58cm, L: 58-61cm). Choose the size that best matches your measurement.

Compatibility:

  • The helmet is certified to meet safety standards: CE, AS/NZS, US.
  • Features integrated sunglasses ports.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Hand-wash the Air Mesh comfort pads with mild soap and cold water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Shell Care: Clean the helmet's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the shell and internal components.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided helmet soft bag for protection during transport or storage.
