MET Trenta MIPS – Greige Matt Glossy, Size M
The MET Trenta MIPS is a road bike helmet for riders who don’t want to compromise on performance, safety and ventilation. In the Greige Matt Glossy finish it looks subtly modern and suits a wide range of setups from road to light gravel. The MIPS-C2 construction complements the classic in-mould shell and is designed to reduce rotational forces in certain oblique impacts without compromising comfort. In size M it covers a head circumference of 56–58 cm and weighs about 250 g according to the manufacturer, making it ideal for long days in the mountains and fast training rides. The distinctive front with NACA-Vent and the low rear deflector channel air through the helmet so you stay comfortably cool even in summer. Thanks to the Safe-T Orbital adjustment it sits stable and pressure-free, even on rough Swiss roads.
- In-mould polycarbonate shell with EPS and MIPS-C2 system for additional rotational protection.
- Safe-T Orbital fit with 360° strap, 4 vertical and 2 occipital positions; ponytail-compatible.
- Aerodynamically placed NACA front opening, internal air channels and rear deflector for efficient cooling.
- Sunglass ports, lightweight Air Lite straps and reflective details for everyday usability and visibility.
- Certifications: CE; AS/NZS; US; incl. helmet softbag.
Technical Details and Features
The protective function is enhanced by MIPS-C2: between the padding and the EPS there is a low-friction layer that allows a relative movement of around 10–15 mm in an oblique impact to help reduce the rotational forces acting on the brain. The Safe-T Orbital system encircles the head with a 360° strap and can be finely adjusted in height and at the back of the head, providing a precise, pressure-free fit. For ventilation the Trenta uses the combination of a NACA-Inlet at the front, internally routed air channels and a lowered, tubular rear for clean airflow management. Practical for everyday use: secure sunglass mounts at the front and smooth-running Air Lite straps with an adjustable divider. The helmet is also compatible with the MET USB LED Light and the Dual Gel brow pad if you want more visibility or extra comfort.
Use Cases and Benefits
On the road the Trenta MIPS shows its strengths at high speed, on long alpine climbs and on hot summer days when constant air circulation is crucial. The balanced aerodynamics without full covering remain practical for daily use, making it equally suitable for fast commutes around Zurich. For safety-conscious riders it is relevant that the Trenta MIPS received a five-star rating in independent tests by the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab. The listed certifications (CE; AS/NZS; US) meet common standards in Europe and beyond, covering use on Swiss roads and passes. With 250 g (M) and a stable fit the helmet remains steady on rough surfaces and pairs well with a cap or headband. The Greige Matt Glossy color integrates unobtrusively with a wide range of kit colors and looks premium.
Optional detail: The French field test by Bike Café praises the very good ventilation on summer climbs as well as the sensible accessory options like the USB LED Light; these exact features make the Trenta MIPS attractive for long rides in Switzerland. The review also highlights the reliable durability of the pads and the efficient fit stability of the adjustment system over many hours. This results in a well-rounded package for ambitious roadie and gravel riders who care about both safety and comfort. If you often ride at dusk, fitting the LED is worth considering.

"The dedicated sunglasses port gets a massive thumbs up from me; I don't think I've ever had a helmet advertising this feature that actually does a solid job of holding the glasses stable.','context':'Sunglasses port'}, {"
The Met Trenta 3k Carbon Mips is a lightweight, well-ventilated semi-aero road helmet with a striking carbon weave, comfortable fit and an effective sunglasses port. The reviewer finds it excellent for hot climbs, though minor issues with the Mips Air catching hair and a sunglasses gap, plus its high price, hold it back from perfection.
"An excellent lid – light, cool and comfortable, if not cheap...','context':'Verdict'}],"
Jamie Williams gives the Met Trenta 3K Carbon Mips a verdict of 9/10, praising its light weight, cooling ventilation and comfort after extended testing. He notes that the added Mips Air rotational protection comes with only a small weight penalty, but the £280 price is high compared with similar helmets.
"airflow is brilliant, and it can be felt throughout the helmet as air moves from the front to the rear.','context':null},{"
Cycling Weekly's Aaron Borrill tested the Met Trenta 3K Carbon thoroughly during the Gravel Burn stage race and found it notably improved in ventilation, comfort and safety, with an excellent fit and retention system.

Other reviews in different languages
Laurent Biger tested the MET Trenta MIPS road helmet from June to November 2020 in varied terrain. He praises its precise fit, very good ventilation, low weight and the MIPS protection, while noting it is a premium helmet priced between 170 and 250 euros and that optional accessories are not included.
Der Tester lobt den MET Trenta 3K Carbon Mips für sein geringes Gewicht von 221 g, das feinfühlige Verstellsystem und den guten Sitz bei mittlerer Größe. Das neue Mips Air-Inlay bietet zusätzlichen Rotationsschutz, die Belüftung konnte bei den bisherigen kühlen Temperaturen aber noch nicht abschließend beurteilt werden. Für den Preis von 320 Euro empfiehlt er den Helm vor allem Fahrern, deren Kopfform und Brillen gut passen.
Le MET Trenta 3K Carbon MIPS est présenté comme un casque route de référence, offrant une ventilation efficace, une bonne protection grâce à sa cage carbone et un confort remarquable sur les longues sorties. Le reviewer souligne toutefois une taille légèrement juste et l'absence d'éléments réfléchissants à l'arrière.
