MET Helmets announce three new mountain bike styles for Spring/Summer 2025
Line-up elevates safety standards to provide unparalleled protection and confidence on every ride
Talamona, Italy (April 8, 2025) - MET Helmets, the Italian-based helmet manufacturer founded in 1987, is unveiling three new mountain bike styles for Spring/Summer 2025 with a focus on superior ventilation, safety, comfort, and design. The marquee helmet in the lineup, which launched in mid-March, is the new MET Revo helmet (MSRP: $239 USD | CAD$300), meticulously crafted to elevate ventilation and safety standards beyond its predecessor, the MET Roam. The new Revo takes safety one step further with the acknowledgment that safety is never static. This evolution is achieved by combining linear and rotational impact standards, the Revo helmet design has been optimized to perform across a range of impact energies.
The trio of helmets were tested in MET’s proprietary in-house wind tunnel—The Tube—which creates the ability for the team to refine and advance the ventilation performance of its helmets. The Revo’s internal ventilation channels deliver a 23.5% increase in cooling efficiency compared to its predecessor. The shell of the Revo also has more impact-tested coverage around the two most sensitive brain areas: the back and the temples. The helmet is tested at 21% more impact speed and can dissipate up to 43% more impact energy, adding 10% extra impact-tested coverage in these two areas.

The other two mountain bike styles launching this year are the Shelter helmet (embargoed until May 6; MSRP: $100 USD | CAD$120) and the Terrae helmet (embargoed until June 25; MSRP: $160 USD | CAD$200).
The Shelter helmet (images here) was designed to offer an accessible, affordable, and versatile option for the everyday mountain biker, welcoming more riders to elevate their riding experience with confidence and style. The Shelter is lightweight and well-ventilated and thanks to the internal air channeling, it stays comfortable on the head. The visor is designed to seamlessly integrate into the helmet shell and it features the MIPS® brain protection system, allowing the helmet to slide relative to the head in case of a crash, redirecting damaging rotational motion.
The Terrae helmet (images here) offers a perfect balance of quality and value, with advanced ventilation, impact testing, and a lightweight design, offering more riders the same level of performance and protection found in top-of-the-line helmets. NTA-certified for superior impact energy dissipation, the Terrae provides added protection for the back and temples. The Safe-T Heta 360° retention system ensures a secure, customizable fit, preventing discomfort on long rides while staying stable on rough terrain.
The Revo helmet is available now from select retailers throughout North America, and the Shelter and Terrae helmets will launch later this year. All three new styles will be on display at Sea Otter (booth #Y63) – swing by the MET booth to check them out!

*The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab tested the MET Revo and it received the highest rating of 5 stars. The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab provides an objective assessment of helmet safety. It gives a rating based on both linear and rotational impact energies, going above and beyond the state of the art of helmet safety standards. The NTA 8776 is the only safety standard created for speed e-bikes. Being NTA-certified, the MET Revo can dissipate significantly more impact energy.
