Product details

Aerodynamic Performance for Modern Road Riding

The MET Manta MIPS Helmet is engineered for riders seeking aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing ventilation or comfort. Originally developed with professional cycling input, the Manta combines a compact aero profile with optimized airflow management, making it suitable for racing, fast training rides, and long endurance efforts.

MIPS-C2 Rotational Impact Protection

The helmet incorporates the MIPS-C2 rotational management system, designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the head during angled impacts. Combined with an in-mould polycarbonate shell and EPS liner, the Manta MIPS provides lightweight impact protection while maintaining a low-profile aerodynamic shape.

Ventilation and Cooling Efficiency

A carefully engineered vent layout balances aerodynamic drag reduction with effective cooling. The front NACA-inspired vent directs airflow through internal channels, helping regulate temperature during high-output riding. Rear exhaust ports assist with heat dissipation while preserving aerodynamic performance.

Advanced Fit and Comfort

MET’s Safe-T Orbital retention system delivers a secure 360° fit with vertical adjustment and occipital support tuning. The helmet accommodates a wide range of head shapes while maintaining stability during aggressive riding. Internal padding improves comfort and moisture management on long rides, and the rear retention design remains ponytail compatible.

Practical Road-Focused Features

The Manta MIPS includes dedicated sunglasses ports for secure eyewear storage while climbing or during rest stops. Its streamlined profile and lightweight construction make it equally suited to competitive road racing, gran fondos, and high-speed endurance riding.
