## MET Trenta 3K Carbon (2026) MIPS – Black Matt, Size M

The MET Trenta 3K Carbon in its 2026 edition is engineered for maximum **ventilation** and **safety** – developed in collaboration with Tadej Pogačar and refined in the in-house wind tunnel «The Tube». At its core is the new **3K Airframe** construction in carbon, which creates a continuous airflow channel from front to rear and boosts cooling performance by **16%** compared to its predecessor. Additional protection comes from **MIPS Air Node**, which reduces rotational forces in crashes and earns the helmet a **Virginia Tech 5-Star** rating, with a **40%** improved test result according to the manufacturer. In size **M**, the Trenta 3K Carbon weighs just **260 g** and is available in **Black Matt** as well as additional colours. This combination of high ventilation, low weight and cutting-edge protection technology makes it a benchmark for road cycling helmets.

- **3K Airframe**: integrated carbon wing structure for maximum air circulation
- **24 vents** with enlarged channels for noticeably improved cooling
- **MIPS Air Node**: ultra-lightweight system against rotational forces
- **Safe-T Orbital**: 360°, vertical and occipital adjustment for a precise fit
- **Air Lite** straps and compact shell shape for outstanding wearing comfort
- Integrated **sunglass ports** and reduced head contact areas
- Weight: **260 g (M)**, sizes: **S (52–56), M (56–58), L (58–61)**
- **Virginia Tech 5-Star** rating; significantly improved protection values over the predecessor
- **CE**-certified and includes a **helmet soft bag** in the box

## Technical Details and Features

The redesigned **3K Airframe** construction replaces internal EPS supports with a carbon structure, creating a continuous airflow channel that efficiently dissipates heat even at lower speeds. Combined with the **24 vents**, MET's comparative tests show this delivers **16%** improved ventilation – with no compromise to aerodynamics. The **MIPS Air Node** system is integrated into the padding and redirects rotational movement away from the head, achieving **5 stars** in independent testing and, according to MET, delivering **40%** higher safety performance over the predecessor. The **Safe-T Orbital** system allows fine-tuned all-round, height and rear-head adjustment, so the helmet sits securely without creating pressure points. The Trenta was tested and optimised in MET's own «**Tube**» wind tunnel using thermo-sensitive dummies to analyse airflow and temperature under realistic conditions. The fully wrapped polycarbonate shell, **Air Lite** straps and **sunglass ports** round off the premium package.

## Intended Use and Benefits

The Trenta 3K Carbon is designed for **road cycling**, **gravel** and **cross-country** riding, and really comes into its own on long climbs, hot days and intense intervals. Thanks to its highly efficient **ventilation**, your head stays noticeably cooler, keeping performance consistent over hours – a benefit confirmed by real-world testing. At **260 g** in size M with its compact shell shape, neck strain is kept to a minimum, while the **Safe-T Orbital** adjustment ensures a secure fit on rough roads and gravel sections. The **sunglass ports** offer a handy storage spot on climbs or during breaks, and the reduced contact areas further improve the climate inside the helmet. With its **5-Star** rating from **Virginia Tech**, the Trenta 3K Carbon ranks among the safest options in its class – ideal for ambitious cyclists across Switzerland. Available in **three sizes (S/M/L)** and multiple colours, including **Black Matt** for a subtle, timeless look.

Optional: Fit and Size Guide

Size **M** covers a head circumference of **56–58 cm**; measure horizontally across your forehead and the back of your head, and if you're between sizes, go with the larger option. With the 360° wrap of the **Safe-T Orbital** system, you can fine-tune the circumference, **height adjustment** and **occipital support** so the helmet sits snugly without any pressure. A handy bonus for frequent riders: the box includes a **helmet soft bag** to protect the Trenta during transport, whether you're heading to training or up into the mountains. The combination of **MIPS Air Node**, optimised **airflow management** and **CE** certification gives you state-of-the-art protection technology that's already been proven at WorldTour level.
