The Revo (say ‘Ree-vo to be on-brand) is all about coverage, comfort and crash safety. Engineers and industrial designers at Met invested a lot of time and CFD resources in the wind tunnel to optimise the Revo’s internal channelling and airflow.

With a trail mountain bike helmet, low aero drag is never really a thing – because of the need for a peak/visor. However, airflow is crucial for trail or enduro riders because a helmet must facilitate cooling. This is especially important at low speeds, when ambient heat on a long climb, while pedalling a high cadence, can become uncomfortable.

Interpreting and iterating with their wind tunnel data, Met’s development team managed to create a structure for the Revo that has 23.5% better airflow ventilation than its predecessor. How? With 23 strategically shaped and positioned vents.

Beyond the excellent ventilation, Revo also has significant safety features, which allowed it to attain a 5-star rating in the authoritative Virginia Tech mountain bike test regime. It’s also NTA 8776 certified, making it compliant for e-bike use. 

But what are the enhanced safety features? The new Revo has an increased structure, shielding more of the skull base and temple area. It also features the latest MIPS Air rotational impact energy dispersing inner liner. Revo’s visor is also a sacrificial design, breaking away at impact to reduce the risk of leverage on the head and neck during an over-the-bars or ‘scorpion’ type crash.

Testing to the NTA 8776 e-bike impact standard, accounting for the higher speeds an e-bike is capable of, the Revo had to withstand 21% greater impact speeds and dissipate 43% more impact energy. Whether on a conventional trail bike or an e-bike, the Revo’s crash impact protection exceeds industry standards.

Met’s designers wanted to offer easily adjustable but secure and comfortable fitment. That’s why the Revo uses a Safe-T Heta retention system, which acts on the head with a 360-degree belt, preventing pressure points and allowing riders to find the best possible fit tension. 

Fidock’s magnetic buckle ensures you can always easily fasten or loosen the chinstrap, even one-handed, while riding.

Met’s Revo is available in the three standard industry sizes (small, medium, and large), with corresponding claimed weight ratings of 370, 390, and 425g. Five colourways are available at launch, with dark earthy tones being thematic. Pricing for the Met Revo is £169.99.
