MET has now been represented in the cycling industry for thirty years and has repeatedly set new standards in terms of protection, comfort, weight and aerodynamics with its wide variety of helmets. With the new MET Trenta (Italian for thirty) is now set to mark another milestone just in time for the anniversary.
3K CARBON TECHNOLOGY
With the so-called 3K carbon technology, a significant advance could already be made in the construction of the MET Trenta. In fact, the elasticity of carbon allows the density of the EPS foam used in the rest of the helmet to be reduced without compromising its capacity to absorb energy. This means that you can guarantee more protection despite less material and consequently lower weight. In addition, parallel grooves run from the middle of the helmet, which are linked to the carbon frame to save more grams.
NACA VENT
MET has attracted a lot of attention in the past with its Venuri ventilation system. With the NACA Vent, this technology has now been further refined in the MET Trenta. There are openings on the front of the helmet through which the wind and air can get into the helmet. The special shape of the helmet pushes the air backwards and thus ensures a cooling effect. This ensures constant airflow through the helmet without catching or braking the wind. The rear has also been specially adapted for ventilation, as this has a major impact on how well the heat dissipation works. The MET Trenta features a flattened "tail" that is angled at 25°, which optimizes airflow.
TUBE SHAPED Tail
In order to achieve the main goal of low weight and aerodynamics, the tail of the helmet has also been aerodynamically revised. In conjunction with the NACA front vent and rear deflector you get an additional aerodynamic advantage. This profile was developed through specific wind tunnel tests at the NEWTON laboratory in Milan.
FIT SYSTEM, SAFE-T ORBITAL
What would a helmet be without the right shape and the protection it offers. With the help of an all-round belt, one can make 360° adjustments by adding 4 positions for height adjustment and 2 positions for occipital adjustments. Also, the MET Trenta ponytail is “compatible”.
The MET Trenta will be available from December 2017.
