The new MET Rivale MIPS is a bold evolution in performance cycling helmets—crafted for riders who demand more from every kilometer. Aerodynamic, ultra-lightweight, and enhanced with the MIPS-C2® brain protection system, the Rivale delivers uncompromised safety and comfort in a race-ready design that’s unmistakably MET.
Streamlined for Speed. Engineered for Real-World Safety.
Aerodynamics is at the heart of the Rivale’s design, featuring a low-profile, tube-shaped tail and carefully contoured lines that cut through the air while maintaining rock-solid stability. The sleek form houses 18 optimally placed vents, including a NACA front vent, designed to channel air efficiently through the helmet using an advanced internal air-channeling system—keeping your head cool no matter how hard you’re pushing the pace.
The in-mould polycarbonate shell fused with a high-density EPS liner delivers exceptional impact energy management while maintaining a featherweight construction. At only 250g, this helmet offers pro-level protection without weighing you down.
MIPS-C2®: Cutting-Edge Brain Protection
At the core of the Rivale is the MIPS-C2® rotational impact system, which adds an essential layer of protection against angled impacts. It mimics the brain’s natural protective mechanism by allowing the outer shell to slide slightly upon impact, helping reduce the forces transmitted to the head. This invisible innovation works in harmony with the helmet’s structure—delivering high-performance safety without sacrificing fit or style.
Precision Fit with Safe-T Upsilon System
Comfort and adjustability define the Safe-T Upsilon fit system, which offers a 360° headbelt and vertical adjustment to fine-tune the fit to your head shape. Whether sprinting, climbing, or enduring a long day in the saddle, the Rivale remains secure and balanced—no pressure points, no distractions.
The Air Lite straps and adjustable cam divider further enhance the helmet's ergonomic feel, minimizing bulk while maximizing aerodynamic flow and rider comfort. Every element is meticulously designed to feel natural and weightless, even during all-day rides.
