Product Information

Full details

The MET Intercity MIPS Helmet is designed for adult urban cyclists seeking enhanced safety and comfort, especially for eBike use. Its key benefit is superior protection through MIPS-C2® and NTA 8776 certification, offering greater impact absorption and rotational force reduction. A potential caveat is its weight, which is higher than standard cycling helmets due to its advanced safety features and extended coverage. This helmet features a robust in-mould polycarbonate shell with an EPS liner, extended head coverage, an integrated adjustable visor, and a powerful MET Magnetic USB LED Light for visibility.

FAQs

What does MIPS-C2® mean for my safety?

MIPS-C2® is a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to allow the head to move slightly relative to the helmet during an angled impact. This helps to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain, enhancing protection against certain types of head injuries.

Is this helmet suitable for non-eBike use?

Yes, while NTA 8776 certified for eBikes, the helmet's advanced safety features and comfort also make it an excellent choice for any adult cyclist seeking superior protection and visibility in urban environments.

How long does the LED light battery last?

Battery life varies depending on the mode used. The USB-C rechargeable light offers multiple modes, including a steady red light and an automatic night-safe mode, with specific runtimes detailed in the product manual.

Can I remove the visor?

The visor is integrated and adjustable, designed to enhance comfort and protection. While not designed for removal, it can be adjusted to various angles or folded up.

How do I clean the helmet pads?

The comfort pads are hand-washable. Gently remove them from the helmet and wash with mild soap and cool water. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.

What sizes are available and how do I measure my head?

The helmet is available in S (52-56cm), M (56-58cm), and L (58-61cm). To measure, use a flexible measuring tape to wrap around the widest part of your head, about an inch above your eyebrows and ears.

What is the weight of the helmet?

The weight varies by size: S is 420g, M is 460g, and L is 490g.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or wobbly

Adjust the MET Safe-T Heta fit system dial until a secure, 360° fit is achieved. Ensure the vertical adjustment is also set correctly for your head shape.

LED light is not charging or turning on

Ensure the USB-C cable is properly connected to both the light and a power source. Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter. Check if the light's internal battery is depleted and needs a full charge.

Strap dividers are uncomfortable

Readjust the position of the strap dividers so they sit flat below your ears and do not cause pinching or irritation.

Visor obstructs vision

Adjust the visor to your preferred angle using the integrated adjustment points. Ensure it is positioned to effectively block sun or debris without hindering your line of sight.
