The MET Parachute MCR isn’t just a helmet — it’s a boundary-breaking innovation designed for the most adventurous mountain bikers, enduro warriors, and e-MTB riders. With a bold fusion of protection, versatility, and futuristic engineering, this convertible full-face helmet stands at the pinnacle of trail tech — a helmet that adapts as fast as you ride.
Revolutionary Modularity with MCR
At the heart of the Parachute MCR lies MET’s proprietary Magnetic Chinbar Release (MCR) — a game-changing system co-developed with Fidlock, world-renowned for their intuitive magnetic fasteners. This advanced mechanism allows riders to seamlessly convert between a full-face and open-face helmet in seconds, without removing the helmet. No tools. No fuss. Just pure trail flow.
Whether you're climbing steep switchbacks or descending rugged terrain at speed, the Parachute MCR keeps pace with your ride style. Snap the chinbar on for aggressive protection when bombing down tech-heavy trails, or go open-face for breathable freedom on climbs and mellow descents — this helmet is a masterclass in modularity.
Uncompromised Safety with MIPS
Safety is paramount, and the Parachute MCR doesn’t cut corners. It integrates the MIPS-C2® Brain Protection System, which helps redirect rotational forces in the event of an angled impact. This added layer of protection gives peace of mind when tackling unpredictable terrain or racing at full tilt, reducing the risk of brain injury in rotational impacts.
Certified to the Highest Standards
Unlike most convertible helmets, the Parachute MCR is ASTM 1952-15 and 2032-15 certified for downhill use — one of the most rigorous certifications in mountain bike protection. That means it's ready for the gnarliest trails, biggest drops, and wildest rides.
Premium Build & Ventilation
The helmet features a lightweight polycarbonate shell fused with EPS foam, delivering optimal energy absorption without adding unnecessary bulk. Despite its robust protection, it remains exceptionally lightweight at only 840 grams, making it one of the lightest DH-certified convertible helmets on the market.
Ventilation is equally impressive. Engineered with optimized airflow channels, the Parachute MCR ensures cool air circulates throughout, preventing overheating during climbs and extended rides in warm climates. The padding and liner are designed for long-wear comfort, with antibacterial, moisture-wicking materials that feel plush yet secure.
Engineered for the Modern Trail Rider
Designed for the demands of today’s aggressive trail and enduro disciplines, the MET Parachute MCR fits the needs of riders who blur the lines between cross-country, all-mountain, and enduro — especially those using electric mountain bikes to push further, faster.
Its versatility also extends to tech features: it comes with adjustable visor positions, is goggle-compatible, and has integrated channels for action cameras or lights. The Fidlock magnetic buckle ensures quick, secure closure even with gloves on — another thoughtful touch that shows MET’s commitment to real-world rideability.
