Pogacar and MET launch two limited edition helmets with an iridescent finish

Tadej Pogacar and MET have just presented a new limited collection that focuses on both aesthetics and performance. The Italian brand has introduced exclusive versions of its Trenta 3K Carbon and Manta models with an iridescent finish that aims to reflect the sense of fluidity and control that characterizes the Slovenian in competition.

MET presents the new Trenta 3K Carbon and Manta Tadej Pogacar edition

Both helmets, developed in collaboration with the current world champion and UAE leader, reinterpret the colors of the rainbow not just as a simple symbol of victory, but as a dynamic visual effect, as the brand explains. The result is a changing surface that alters its hue depending on the light, speed, and angle from which it is observed.

From MET, they explain that the visual concept is based on the idea of "superfluidity." That state in which effort seems to dissolve while speed increases and the cyclist acts with total naturalness. The brand has tried to convey that feeling in the design through a chromatic overlay that evokes continuous movement.

Trenta 3K Carbon: ventilation and structural carbon

The Trenta 3K Carbon was launched last season after being tested in competition by Pogacar himself, and it positions itself as the brand's most advanced road helmet in terms of ventilation.

Its structure integrates a "wing" of carbon that allows for a reduction in the amount of EPS foam in the internal frame and generates a continuous air channel inside. This solution, according to the brand, optimizes airflow without compromising aerodynamic performance, which has also been tested in a wind tunnel.

The model incorporates a MIPS protection system and has received the highest rating (five stars) in independent safety tests from Virginia Tech. In this special edition, it maintains the same technical specifications, adding the multicolor ethereal effect finish. The announced price is €440.

Manta: aero profile with 15 air vents

The second piece of the collection is the Manta, the aerodynamic helmet that MET renewed in 2024. It features a lower and more streamlined rear profile compared to its predecessor, with a shape optimized to reduce air resistance.

Despite its aero orientation, it maintains 15 ventilation openings to promote cooling during prolonged efforts. It also features a MIPS system and retains the technical characteristics of the standard model, differing only by the specific iridescent finish of this limited series. Its price in this special version is €280.

The collection will be available in limited quantities through the brand's usual sales channels.
