Blending aerodynamic refinement, next-gen safety features, and all-day comfort, the MET Rivale MIPS is the helmet of choice for ambitious road cyclists who demand more—more speed, more protection, and more value. Striking in form and function, the Rivale delivers an assertive road presence and elite-level performance at a price that’s surprisingly accessible.
Sharper. Safer. Stronger.
The MET Rivale MIPS is engineered to project a powerful silhouette, echoing the streamlined shapes of high-performance helmets used in the pro peloton. Its tube-shaped tail and optimized vent layout reduce air resistance and ensure superior ventilation, even under intense efforts. With 18 vents linked via an internal air-channeling system, airflow is guided efficiently from front to rear, offering cooling comfort on long climbs and hot summer rides.
MIPS-C2®: Subtle Yet Substantial Protection
At the heart of the Rivale’s safety credentials lies the MIPS-C2® rotational impact protection system—a discreet, low-friction layer that moves independently from the helmet shell. During angled impacts, it reduces rotational forces transferred to the brain, adding a crucial layer of safety without interfering with comfort or fit. It’s the kind of innovation you hope never to need—but will be glad to have.
Fit That Feels Like Second Skin
A secure helmet isn’t just safer—it’s more comfortable. MET’s Safe-T Upsilon Fit System delivers a refined, micro-adjustable fit with 360° head belt support, eliminating pressure points and maximizing long-ride comfort. The vertical adjustment ensures a tailored feel for different head shapes, while Air Lite straps with adjustable dividers keep the profile sleek and the fit dialed in, minimizing both drag and distractions.
Whether hammering out tempo efforts or cruising in your local group ride, the Rivale sits low and stable—snug, but never tight.
Cyclist-First Functionality
Smart details elevate the MET Rivale MIPS beyond the expected:
Sunglasses Ports: Perfectly placed at the front vents, so your shades stay put during climbs or café stops.
Reflective Rear Decals: Boost visibility in low-light rides and early-morning commutes.
Hand-Washable Padding: Designed for comfort and longevity, easy to clean after long, sweaty days in the saddle.
The Ideal Fusion of Performance & Practicality
Despite its pro-grade DNA, the Rivale MIPS doesn’t demand a pro’s paycheck. Weighing in at just 270g, it achieves an exceptional balance of lightweight construction, ventilation, aerodynamics, and impact protection—making it an unbeatable all-rounder in the world of performance road helmets.
Whether you’re sprinting for the line or ticking off big mileage on the weekend, the MET Rivale MIPS gives you the confidence to ride harder, faster, and smarter.
