Landmark Performance
For thirty years MET has been making helmets for the very best in the sport of cycling. They’ve learned, refined and developed there products, getting faster, lighter and more comfortable with every generation. MET created the Trenta to mark this milestone year. Now, there’s a new member of the family, a new standard in helmet design, a new competitive edge for the world’s elite.
3K Carbon Technology
The construction of the MET Trenta 3K Carbon performs better than any other helmet on the market. The R&D team of MET discovered that the carbon’s elastic modulus allows to reduce the density of the EPS foam by 20%, without affecting its capacity to absorb energy. The parallel ‘ribs’ are linked from the centre of the helmet by a carbon cage embedded into the liner, making it dramatically lighter compared to a traditional construction. The result is a lightweight, yet better-performing shell that sets a new standard in terms of ventilated helmet manufacture.
Trenta 3K Carbon
The MET Trenta 3K Carbon is a performance road helmet for elite cyclists. Looks and performs best when riding in the bunch, engineered to keep your head fresh and save you energy with every pedal stroke.
- Weight: 215 g (size M)
- 19 vents
- Proven drag saved: 7% at 45km/h
- Designed & Engineered in Italy
Naca Vent
Originally developed by NACA, a precursor to NASA, the position of this inlet at the front of the helmet has a cooling effect. Harnessing the power of the Venturi effect, the vent pushes out the warm air within the helmet through specially positioned exhausts. This ensures constant airflow through the helmet, without catching the wind and creating drag.
Rear Deflectors
The back of a helmet has a huge impact on how well ventilated it is, with the exit of warm air from within a key priority. The MET Trenta features a flat rear deflector inclined at 25°, which makes it possible to include two wide exhausts that optimise airflow when you’re on the drops and riding hard.
Tube-shaped Tail
The tail of the helmet also has an aerodynamic purpose. It works in synergy with the NACA front vent and the rear deflector to effectively drive airflow. It has a lower profile at the rear, which we developed thanks to specific wind-tunnel testing in the NEWTON laboratory of Milan.
Head Contact Surface
MET built the Trenta in such a way that only 30% of the head will be in contact with the helmet when you’re wearing it. This allows the other 70% to benefit from the optimised airflow passing through the internal cavity, keeping you cooler as you ride.
