# Drone Wide Body II > MET Drone Wide Body II - Aero helmet for time trials & triathlon, 430 g, optimized aerodynamics and Mag-Clip Shield - Price: 499.00 CHF - Brand: MET - Category: Helmets - Availability: out of stock - SKU: 8015190296241 ## MET Drone Wide Body II – Time Trial and Triathlon Helmet The MET Drone Wide Body II is the second generation of an aero helmet used at WorldTour level and in Ironman races. It was developed and refined in the in-house **The Tube** wind tunnel in Talamona, which brings directly measurable advantages over its predecessor. MET quantifies the gain at up to **13.5 s/40 km** or roughly **5 W** less drag under identical conditions. At **430 g** the helmet is among the lightest long-tail models and therefore remains comfortable even on long triathlon splits. It is worn in competition by, among others, **Tadej Pogačar**, underlining its focus on maximum aerodynamic performance. - **Wide Body Design** directs airflow over the shoulders and thus reduces turbulence and aerodynamic drag. - **Linear Tail Design** enables a lower head position and improves flow attachment at the back. - Proven aero gain: up to **13.5 s/40 km** and approx. **5 W** faster than the previous version. - **Ventilation with 3 Low-Drag openings** and internal channels for cooling without an aero penalty. - **Mag-Clip Shield**: clear visor included; optional tints **Fume** and **Mirror** available. - **Safe-T Advanced** adjustment system for a precise fit; sizes **M** and **L**. - Weight just **430 g**; colors **Glossy Black** and **Glossy White**. - CE certification according to **EN 1078**. ## Technical details and features The shell is produced in **In-mould polycarbonate** with an **EPS** core, combining strength and low weight. Three strategically placed **Low-Drag intake vents** feed an internal channel system and provide noticeable cooling without disturbing the airflow. The **Mag-Clip Shield** is attached using flat neodymium magnets, sits securely against vibration and has an **antifog coating** for clear vision; a **clear** shield is standard, with further tints optional. The helmet intentionally comes without an additional rotational protection system like **Mips**, in order to uncompromisingly optimize the form factor and aerodynamics for speed. The significantly extended **Tail** makes it easier to hold a low head position in the aerobars, with the shoulder area serving as an aerodynamic transition. ## Applications and benefits The Drone Wide Body II plays to its strengths in **time trials** and **triathlon** — wherever seconds count and your position remains stable. If you can keep your **head position** consistently low, you especially benefit from the long rear shape and the broad shielding of the shoulders. Thanks to efficient ventilation, the helmet is suitable not only for short TTs, but also for longer triathlon distances, as are common in the Swiss race calendar. The clear shield provides unobstructed vision in changing light, while optional tints make sense for sunny days at Lake Zurich or in the Valais. Decisive added value: noticeably lower wattage at race pace, without sacrificing comfort. ## Fit, sizes and accessories With sizes **M** and **L**, the helmet covers a wide range of head circumferences, while the **Safe-T Advanced** system handles the fine adjustment. For even more comfort on long splits, the optional **DualGel** forehead pad can be used; it keeps sweat out of your eyes and conforms to your head shape. For different light conditions, **Mag-Clip** shields in additional tints are available, which can be changed in seconds. The combination of precise fit, lightweight construction and streamlined shape makes the Drone Wide Body II a solution for ambitious time trialists with a clear focus on performance. Athletes at WorldTour level already use it — an indication of its orientation toward top speed. ## Aerodynamics from the MET wind tunnel The helmet was developed in the in-house **The Tube** wind tunnel, where MET analyzes aerodynamics and thermals specifically for bike helmets. This setup makes it possible to systematically optimize shape details such as the broad forehead area, the **long tail** and the **inlet geometry** for minimal drag and sufficient cooling. The result is the documented improvement of **up to 5 W** and **13.5 s/40 km** compared to the predecessor. At the same time the system weight remains a remarkably low **430 g** for a long-tail helmet. For competitive sport in Switzerland — from the local individual time trial to triathlon — this means real time gains with controllable temperatures under the helmet. ## Variants - 8015190296241: out of stock --- Source: https://kilometro.ch/en/products/helmets-90/drone-wide-body-ii-580
