MET Rivale MIPS Helmet

The MIPS C2 system is designed to provide extra protection against rotational motion during an impact. It allows the helmet shell to slide slightly relative to the liner, which helps reduce the rotational forces transferred to your brain in certain types of crashes.

Yes, the Rivale is designed with 18 strategically placed vents that channel airflow across your head. While it prioritizes aerodynamics, the internal channeling is effective at dissipating heat during intense efforts.

This system features a 360-degree head belt that wraps around your entire head rather than just the back. This design helps eliminate pressure points and provides a more secure, uniform fit that you can easily adjust with the rear dial.

Yes, the helmet includes dedicated ports specifically designed to dock your sunglasses securely. This is a convenient feature for long rides when you need to remove your eyewear during climbs or low-light conditions.

While it is not a substitute for active lighting, the helmet includes reflective rear decals. These help increase your visibility to motorists when riding in low-light conditions.

At 270 grams, it sits in a comfortable middle ground for road helmets. It is light enough to remain comfortable on long rides without sacrificing the structural integrity provided by the polycarbonate shell and EPS liner.
