The MET Terranova Mips stands at the intersection of modern trail design, uncompromising protection, and long-ride comfort. Built for riders who push their limits across rugged terrain and e-mountain biking adventures, this helmet takes cues from MET’s elite-level Roam helmet, infusing its DNA with features that elevate safety, ventilation, and wearability to all-new heights.
Developed specifically for trail and e-MTB use, the Terranova Mips brings a new standard of protection without adding bulk or complexity. Whether you're threading narrow switchbacks, powering through technical climbs, or bombing down a flowy descent, this helmet has your back — and more importantly, your head — covered.
Inspired by Performance – Built for the Wild
The Terranova Mips borrows its construction and ergonomic fit from MET’s award-winning Roam helmet — a proven leader in mountain bike protection. This half-shell design includes extended coverage across the temples and back of the head, areas most vulnerable in high-speed trail crashes. At the heart of its build is a durable in-mold polycarbonate shell fused with an EPS liner, offering dependable impact absorption without unnecessary weight.
At just 335 grams, the Terranova Mips is remarkably lightweight for a trail helmet offering this level of protection. The slim profile doesn’t compromise coverage, and its aggressive lines match the modern mountain aesthetic — bold, technical, and ready for action.
Mips Brain Protection System: Rethinking Helmet Safety
What truly sets this helmet apart is the seamless integration of the Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System). Unlike traditional helmets that primarily manage direct impacts, the Terranova Mips incorporates a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows it to rotate slightly around the head during angled impacts, reducing the rotational forces that can lead to brain injuries.
Working in collaboration with Mips engineers, MET has fine-tuned this system to coexist naturally with the helmet’s ventilation channels and ergonomic fit, meaning no trade-offs between comfort and safety. Riders get the rotational impact protection they need — without sacrificing breathability or weight.
All-Day Comfort with a Custom Fit
Whether your ride is 30 minutes or 3 hours, the Terranova Mips stays secure and comfortable. Its fit system draws from MET’s trail heritage — adjustable, stable, and ponytail compatible. The internal shaping follows natural head contours, providing a snug fit without pressure points. Strategic air-channeling moves cool air in and warm air out, maintaining consistent airflow even at low speeds during steep climbs.
The low-profile design also makes it perfect for pairing with sunglasses or goggles, while the subtle rear shape cradles eyewear straps without interference.
Designed for Endurance, Built to Perform
Every detail of the Terranova Mips is engineered for trail performance. From embedded strap anchors to soft, moisture-wicking comfort pads that can be easily removed and washed, this helmet is built to be used hard and cleaned up fast. Its CE certification confirms it meets European safety standards, while its lightweight build and precision fit make it ideal for both traditional and electric mountain biking applications.
