​The new versions of the Manta and Trenta 3K Carbon were released on February 25 and feature a distinctive etherial finish.

​Pogačar, who rides for UAE Team Emirates XRG, has worked with MET for several seasons. The company supplies helmets to his team and says the new designs reflect the feeling of “flow” often associated with his racing style.

​The Trenta 3K Carbon was first introduced last year and gained attention when Pogačar wore it during the 2025 Tour de France.

​The helmet uses a carbon shell and an integrated carbon wing to improve airflow. MET says this construction creates a continuous internal air channel, making it one of the brand’s most ventilated road helmets.

It is also optimized for aerodynamic performance, includes a MIPS safety liner, and received a five-star rating from Virginia Tech in independent testing.

​The Manta aero helmet, launched in 2024, has a lower rear profile designed to improve aerodynamics. It includes 15 vents for cooling and also features MIPS protection.

​The limited-edition Manta is priced at £250 / $350 / €280.

The Trenta 3K Carbon costs £390 / $540 / €440.
