MET Intercity MIPS Helmet with Adjustable Visor LED Light NTA 8776 Certified

The MET Intercity Mips Helmet represents a significant advancement in urban cycling safety, specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of eBike riders navigating complex city environments. This helmet combines innovative safety features with practical design elements, ensuring superior protection and comfort for daily commuters and urban cyclists alike. Building on the trusted foundation of the MET Urbex model, the Intercity Mips integrates an adjustable polycarbonate visor that effectively shields the eyes from wind, dust, and insects, enhancing rider focus and visibility in busy traffic conditions.

Certified to the stringent NTA 8776 standard, the Intercity Mips Helmet offers enhanced impact resistance tailored to the unique risks associated with eBike travel. Its EPS shell extends coverage by 10% around critical brain regions, including the back and temples, and is tested at impact speeds 21% higher than traditional standards. This ensures a higher level of safety when it matters most. The inclusion of the MIPS-C2® system further mitigates rotational forces during impact by allowing slight helmet rotation, thereby reducing the risk of brain injuries. For those seeking reliable head protection within the urban cycling category, this helmet is a compelling choice.

Comfort and functionality are paramount in the design of the Intercity Mips. The helmet’s refined internal shape, combined with the MET Safe-T Heta Fit System, guarantees a secure and personalised fit for a variety of head sizes. The Fidlock® magnetic buckle simplifies fastening, providing ease of use without compromising security. Ventilation is optimised through 16 strategically positioned vents featuring engineered air channels and an integrated anti-insect net to maintain airflow while preventing bugs from entering. Additionally, the helmet includes a magnetic USB rechargeable LED light at the rear, offering multiple lighting modes and up to eight hours of battery life, significantly enhancing rider visibility in all lighting conditions.
