MET Manta 3 MIPS Road Helmet
The MET Manta 3 MIPS Road Helmet represents MET's latest advancement in aerodynamic cycling helmet design, combining wind-tunnel-developed performance, advanced rotational impact protection and improved ventilation.
Designed for road racing, triathlon and demanding rides, the Manta 3 features an all-new aerodynamic geometry and Double Deck rear architecture to reduce drag while maintaining efficient airflow. With a 6-watt aerodynamic advantage over its predecessor, it delivers a competitive edge for riders who demand speed without compromising comfort or protection.
Developed through extensive wind tunnel testing and real-world evaluation with WorldTour riders, the MET Manta 3 has been refined around actual riding positions to optimise airflow across the complete rider-and-helmet profile. It features the advanced Mips® Air Node Pro rotational protection system with integrated Coolmax® padding, a lightweight construction and MET's Safe-T Orbital fit system for a secure, personalised fit.
Aerodynamic Performance
Every detail of the MET Manta 3 is engineered to improve aerodynamic efficiency. Its all-new geometry and Double Deck rear air deflectors manage airflow from the front of the helmet to the rear, reducing drag in the aerodynamic riding position.
- 6-watt aerodynamic advantage over the previous Manta generation.
- Ranked as the fastest in MET's benchmark aerodynamic tests.
- Developed through extensive wind tunnel testing and airflow visualisation.
- Tested at 50 km/h under controlled, repeatable conditions, both on a headform and with a rider.
- Refined through aerodynamic testing with professional WorldTour riders, including Tadej Pogačar.
- Double Deck rear air deflectors improve airflow efficiency in the aero position.
Mips® Air Node Pro Protection
The Manta 3 integrates the advanced Mips® Air Node Pro system to provide additional protection against rotational motion during certain angled impacts. Combined with its in-mould polycarbonate shell and EPS liner, the helmet is designed to deliver lightweight protection while exceeding applicable safety standards. It also carries a five-star rating from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab.
- Mips® Air Node Pro rotational impact protection.
- Integrated Coolmax® padding for comfort and moisture management.
- In-mould polycarbonate shell with EPS liner.
- Full-wrap construction enhances durability and provides a premium finish.
Ventilation and Comfort
Aerodynamic performance does not come at the expense of ventilation. The Manta 3 features carefully engineered vents and internal airflow channels to maintain continuous air circulation through the helmet. Side vents also double as convenient sunglasses ports, allowing riders to securely store their eyewear when not in use.
- Engineered ventilation openings and internal airflow channels.
- Side vents double as secure sunglasses storage ports.
- Lightweight construction for comfortable long-distance riding.
- Air Lite straps with adjustable dividers for a refined fit.
Safe-T Orbital Fit System
The MET Safe-T Orbital fit system provides precise adjustment across three dimensions, allowing riders to customise the helmet's fit for improved stability and comfort. Vertical, occipital and circumferential adjustments help create a secure fit tailored to individual head shapes.
- Vertical adjustment for personalised positioning.
- Occipital adjustment for secure rear-head support.
- Circumferential adjustment for a comfortable, secure fit.
