Unleash Speed with the New MET Trenta 3K Carbon Helmet

Racing doesn’t wait. Every year the speed rises, gaps tighten, and the margin for error shrinks. The new MET Trenta 3K Carbon arrives at exactly the right moment, made for an era where racing demands more — more speed, more control, more protection.

What To Know

• Airflow increased by 16% thanks to a reworked internal geometry and optimised air channeling, engineered within MET’s proprietary wind tunnel.
• Protection: Safety performance is up 40% in independent lab testing for linear and rotational impacts, earning a 5-star Virginia Tech rating.
• Development: Created in close collaboration with Tadej Pogačar, UAE Team Emirates XRG, and UAE Team ADQ.

The results are measurable: airflow up 16%, independent safety scores up 40% – among the highest ever recorded under Virginia Tech’s protocol. The Trenta still feels minimal, but its structure now reacts better when speeds are high and crashes come hard.

Cooling Is Control

With a 16% improvement in airflow compared to the previous generation, it sets a new benchmark in ventilation, aerodynamic management, and comfort. At its core is the 3K Airframe: a carbon wing structure that removes EPS from the internal frame with open air channels. Air moves freely from the front intakes to the rear exhausts – you can almost see straight through it. It’s a quiet piece of engineering that keeps the head cool whether climbing at 12km/h or descending at 90.

Data Driven Design Evolution

The deeper rear profile is the most visible update, an evolution based on data from hundreds of crash returns across WorldTour seasons. That insight, combined with Met’s internal test lab, allows rapid cycles of real-world feedback and lab refinement. Protection, in other words, isn’t theoretical. Inside the new Trenta 3K Carbon, we designed three main ribs, keeping them as linear as possible to avoid interfering with airflow and to reduce the surface area in contact with the head. This new internal geometry optimises air channeling and overall ventilation efficiency.

Safety Is Performance

The new construction achieves a 40% improvement in the Virginia Tech test> — the world’s most recognised independent safety rating protocol — earning 5 stars and one of the best scores ever recorded. Every year, we receive between 20 and 30 crashed helmets from the team — most of them showing clear signs of high-energy impacts. This means almost every rider of a World Tour Team experiences at least one high-speed crash per season, which is why minimising the risk of concussion is a top priority, at the same level as performance.

World Tour Collaboration

The MET Trenta 3K Carbon is developed in direct collaboration with Tadej Pogačar>, UAE Team Emirates>, and UAE Team ADQ. Worn in the world’s most prestigious races, it has already been part of victories at the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia Women, delivering an unmatched performance level.
