MET Terræ launches for trail and eMTB

The newly launched MET Terræ aims to bring high-end safety to everyday trail rides, with a flexible safety-release visor, a full polycarbonate wrap to protect the longevity of the EPS shell, and the Safe-T Heta 360° fit system.

It is available in six bold, natural colours – from Burned Yellow to Pistachio Green.

The MET Terræ internal air channelling system has been developed through the brand’s proprietary wind tunnel, allowing for refinement and enhanced ventilation performance.

Being NTA-certified, the MET Terræ is able to dissipate significantly more impact energy, said the PR. The shell also has more impact-tested coverage around the two more sensitive brain areas: the back and the temples.

The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab tested the MET Terræ and it received the highest rating of 5 STARS. The Lab gives a rating based on both linear and rotational impact energies.

The visor is adjustable, it features a safety-release system that makes it detach in case of a crash and it’s also flexible preventing changes in the helmet’s position on the head during impacts, we’re told.

The new Terræ is designed to be stable (and comfortable) while riding on rough terrain. Featuring the Safe-T Heta 360° retention system, the fit is micrometrical and customised to the perimeter of the head, avoiding any pressure points or discomfort on long rides.

Featuring the Mips® Brain Protection System, the MET Terræ is designed to slide relative to the head in the event of a crash, helping to redirect harmful rotational forces. Positioned between the comfort padding and the EPS liner inside the helmet, Mips® is a rotational management system engineered to enhance standard helmet construction by providing added protection in specific types of impacts.
