Met Manta Mips Tadej Pogačar helmet 2026
The Limited Edition Tadej Pogačar Manta is the aero helmet Tadej frequently chooses to race in, now finished in an all-over iridescent colourway that shifts with light and speed, as ethereal as the rider who inspired it. Compact and meticulously considered, they’ve spent years refining the MET Manta in both the wind tunnel and WorldTour race scenarios to minimise drag for real-world riding. Its NACA vent and internal channeling manage airflow without disturbing the helmet’s low-drag silhouette, making it aerodynamic enough for competition while remaining practical for everyday road riding. An in-mould polycarbonate shell bonded to EPS delivers lightweight structural integrity with extended coverage. Mips® is seamlessly integrated to reduce rotational forces while maintaining a precise, race-ready fit. Designed for decisive racing and sustained speed, when commitment is total and the dream state becomes real
Aerodynamics
The Manta Mips is more aerodynamic that its predecessor thanks to its lower and tube-shaped profile at the rear, which they developed with specific wind-tunnel
testing in the NEWTON laboratory of Milan.
Ventilation
They’ve engineered the internal shape to channel the air and MET’s signature NACA Vent works in synergy with the specially positioned exhaust ensuring a constant
airflow through the helmet, without catching the wind and creating drag.
Safety
The MET Manta integrates the Mips-C2® safety system — a low-friction layer designed to help reduce rotational forces during angled impacts. It’s backed by our in-house
crash-testing facility, continuous R&D, and strict quality-control testing on every single production batch to ensure our helmets meet the highest safety standards.
