The current generation features the **3K Airframe** carbon structure, which keeps the internal air channel open from front to back, noticeably increasing ventilation. According to the manufacturer, the helmet achieves a **5-star rating** in the Virginia Tech protocol in the new test generation and significantly improves protection performance compared to its predecessor, which has been highlighted in independent reports. With **Mips Air Node** for rotational protection, **Safe-T Orbital** adjustment and integrated eyewear ports, it brings exactly the features that matter in Swiss everyday life between commuting, training and alpine passes. - **3K Airframe**: integrated carbon structure for free airflow and high stability - **Mips Air Node**: ultra-light rotation system for enhanced protection - **24 vents** with optimised channel routing; integrated **eyewear holders** - **Safe-T Orbital**: 360°, vertically and occipitally adjustable; **Air Lite** straps - Weight approx. **260g (M)**; sizes **S 52–56**, **M 56–58**, **L 58–61**; **CE** certified - Developed and refined in the company's own **Tube** wind tunnel; includes padded helmet bag ## Technical Details and Features The **3K Airframe** construction largely replaces classic bridges in the EPS with a carbon structure, creating a continuous internal channel that constantly flows air over the head. Together with the **24 vents**, this provides noticeably cooler conditions at both low and high speeds, which is particularly valuable on long alpine climbs in Switzerland. The **Mips Air Node** solution is integrated into the padding, remains extremely light and allows relative movement between head and helmet to reduce rotational forces – without compromising ventilation. For fine-tuning the fit, the **Safe-T Orbital** system contributes with 360° strap, height and rear adjustment, while **Air Lite** straps and the fully wrapped polycarbonate shell ensure comfort and durability. According to MET, the new generation increases ventilation by around **16%** and improves impact performance by **40%**; media reports confirm the 5-star rating in the updated Virginia Tech system. ## Applications and Benefits The Trenta 3K Carbon shows its strengths when it gets hot, fast, or both: on **road bike** loops around Lake Zurich, on marathon pass rides in Valais or during quick after-work intervals. The open channel design keeps the head noticeably cooler, supporting performance and concentration on long climbs. The **eyewear ports** securely hold your sunglasses during descents, hairpins or at traffic lights without blocking ventilation. Thanks to **Safe-T Orbital**, the helmet sits quietly on the head even on rough surfaces and can be fine-tuned with summer caps or buffs. Those who value proven safety benefit from the current **5-star performance** in the Virginia Tech context and a design that has already been used in Tour and World Championship victories. Additional Notes on Fit and Specifications With **S 52–56**, **M 56–58** and **L 58–61**, the helmet covers the common head circumferences in the Swiss market; measure horizontally above the eyebrows and around the widest part of the back of the head. The stated weight of **approx. 260g (M)** is practically light for everyday use, but deliberately avoids being ultra-minimalist in favour of cooling and protection. **CE** certification is included, plus MET provides a padded, ventilated transport bag for protection in backpacks or suitcases. Developed and refined in the in-house **Tube** wind tunnel, the Trenta 3K Carbon explicitly addresses the balance of aerodynamics, thermals and safety for modern road bike requirements. Media reports on the 2025 update highlight the increased ventilation and new rating in the updated Virginia Tech system, underlining the helmet's position in the top segment. ## Variants - 0108015190298: out of stock - 3HM162CE00 LWH1: in stock - 3HM162CE00 MWH1: in stock --- Source: https://kilometro.ch/en/products/helmets-90/road-bike-helmet-trenta-3k-carbon-2026-mips-white-glossy-819
