When MET set out to reinvent the Manta, it wasn’t just about upgrading a helmet—it was about redefining excellence. The all-new MET Manta MIPS isn’t merely a helmet; it’s a masterclass in aerodynamic engineering, refined aesthetics, and pro-level performance. Created in collaboration with professional riders and shaped by the demands of the modern cyclist, this helmet is a bold fusion of safety, speed, comfort, and style—the four pillars that define world-class gear.
Reengineered Aerodynamics
At the forefront of the MET Manta MIPS is its sleek and compact silhouette. The signature tube-shaped tail, inspired by time-trial helmets, reduces drag and smoothens airflow over the head, giving riders that crucial edge in breakaways, sprints, and solo efforts. Its rear deflector ensures a continuous stream of air across the scalp and over the back, working in synergy with its 15 strategically placed vents and internal air-channeling system to optimize ventilation without compromising aerodynamic efficiency. The result? A helmet that’s as fast as it is cool—literally.
Enhanced Safety with MIPS-C2® Technology
Incorporating the MIPS-C2® rotational management system, the Manta offers an extra layer of brain protection in angled impacts. This low-friction layer allows relative motion between the helmet and the head, reducing harmful rotational forces that can occur during crashes. MET’s collaboration with MIPS ensures the protection system is seamlessly integrated, adding minimal weight while elevating safety to pro-peloton standards.
Unrivaled Comfort and Fit
Fit is more than just feel—it’s control, confidence, and freedom. The Safe-T Orbital Fit System provides 360° wraparound support with micro-adjustments in vertical and occipital planes, ensuring a snug and customizable fit for every head shape. Combined with Air Lite straps, a refined internal shell, and hand-washable comfort padding, the Manta disappears once it’s on your head, allowing you to focus fully on the road ahead.
Even during high-output climbs or warm-weather races, the engineered air vents channel airflow efficiently, keeping heat at bay and your performance consistent.
Cyclist-Centric Details
Every detail in the Manta MIPS has been designed with the rider in mind:
Fidlock® Magnetic Buckle: A game-changer in helmet convenience, allowing quick, one-handed fastening—even with gloves.
Sunglasses Ports: Dock your shades securely during transitions, climbs, or coffee stops.
Reflective Decals: Integrated at the rear for improved visibility in low-light or urban settings.
Helmet Soft Bag: Included for safe storage and travel.
A Helmet That Sets the Standard
The new MET Manta MIPS doesn’t just respond to rider expectations—it exceeds them. It’s lightweight, with weights starting at 240g (S), 250g (M), and 270g (L), giving it one of the best grams-to-performance ratios in its class. Whether you’re leading the pack, chasing the break, or grinding out training miles, this helmet ensures you’re protected, streamlined, and riding in style.
