MET Rivale MIPS Helmet

The MIPS C2 system is designed to reduce rotational forces during an impact. By allowing the helmet to slide slightly relative to your head, it helps redirect energy that would otherwise be transferred to the brain, providing an extra layer of safety beyond standard impact protection.

Yes, the helmet features dedicated ports specifically designed to hold most standard cycling sunglasses. They are positioned to keep your eyewear secure and out of the way when you aren't wearing them, without interfering with the helmet's fit.

Absolutely. With 18 vents and internal air channeling, the Rivale is built to promote consistent airflow. The internal channels help pull cool air over your head and push warm air out, keeping you comfortable during intense efforts or long climbs.

The Safe-T Upsilon system uses a 360-degree belt that wraps around your entire head rather than just the back. This design eliminates pressure points and allows for precise, even tensioning, ensuring the helmet stays secure without feeling restrictive.

Not at all. The tube-shaped tail is engineered to reduce drag for better efficiency on the road, but it remains compact and lightweight. At 270 grams for a size medium, it feels balanced and unobtrusive while riding.

The helmet includes reflective rear decals that significantly improve your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions. While they are a great safety feature, they should be used as a supplement to, not a replacement for, active bike lights.
