MET Manta 3 MIPS Road Helmet - Special Edition
The MET Manta 3 MIPS Special Edition Road Helmet combines professional-level aerodynamic performance, lightweight construction and advanced impact protection in a distinctive special edition design.
Developed for road racing, triathlon and performance-focused cycling, this premium aero cycling helmet features a redesigned shell profile and Double Deck rear architecture to help reduce drag while maintaining effective ventilation. With a 6-watt aerodynamic advantage over its predecessor, the Manta 3 is engineered for cyclists who want every advantage when it comes to speed and efficiency.
Created through extensive wind tunnel development and real-world testing with professional WorldTour athletes, the MET Manta 3 has been carefully refined to improve airflow around both the helmet and rider. Its advanced Mips® Air Node Pro protection system, integrated Coolmax® padding and Safe-T Orbital fit system provide a balanced combination of safety, comfort and aerodynamic efficiency. The Special Edition adds an exclusive colourway selection to MET's acclaimed aero road helmet range.
Advanced Aerodynamic Design
Every element of the Manta 3's shape has been developed with speed in mind. Its updated aerodynamic geometry works alongside the distinctive Double Deck rear architecture to manage airflow more efficiently, particularly when riding in an aggressive road cycling position.
- Delivers a 6-watt aerodynamic advantage over the previous Manta generation.
- Ranked as the fastest in MET's benchmark aerodynamic tests.
- Double Deck rear air deflectors improve airflow efficiency in the aero position.
- Tested at 50 km/h under controlled and repeatable conditions, both on a headform and with a rider.
- Developed through extensive wind tunnel testing and real-world aerodynamic evaluation with professional riders, including Tadej Pogačar.
Mips® Air Node Pro Protection
Advanced protection is integrated directly into the Manta 3's lightweight construction. The Mips® Air Node Pro system is designed to help reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain during certain angled impacts. Combined with its in-mould polycarbonate shell and EPS liner, the helmet provides a carefully engineered balance of protection and weight. The Manta 3 has also received a five-star rating from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab.
- Mips® Air Node Pro rotational impact protection system.
- Integrated Coolmax® padding for comfort and moisture management.
- In-mould polycarbonate shell with EPS liner.
- Full-wrap construction for enhanced durability and a premium finish.
Efficient Ventilation and Rider Comfort
Aerodynamic efficiency is matched with carefully engineered ventilation to keep air moving through the helmet. Internal airflow channels work with strategically positioned vents to support continuous cooling during demanding rides. The side vents also function as practical sunglasses ports, providing convenient storage for eyewear when not in use.
- Engineered ventilation openings with internal airflow channels.
- Side vents double as secure sunglasses storage ports.
- Lightweight construction for comfortable road cycling and racing.
- Air Lite straps with adjustable dividers for a personalised fit.
Safe-T Orbital Fit System
The MET Safe-T Orbital fit system allows riders to fine-tune helmet positioning across multiple adjustment points. With vertical, occipital and circumferential adjustments, it provides a stable and personalised fit to suit different head shapes and riding preferences.
- Vertical adjustment for precise helmet positioning.
- Occipital adjustment for improved rear-head support.
- Circumferential adjustment for a secure and comfortable fit.
