THE TUBE
A new advanced technological Wind Tunnel built in-house at MET headquarters in Italy. Engineered specifically for cycling aerodynamic and thermal analysis, MET's proprietary wind tunnel is a state-of-the-art facility for testing helmets, bikes, rider positions, and any aero equipment.

Wide thinking
The Tube is a new project powered by MET to enhance helmet aerodynamic performance. At MET, we have always driven aerodynamic innovations in cycling helmets, starting with the pioneering vision of using the helmet to direct air over the shoulders. This led to the creation of the Wide Body Design, which revolutionized time trial helmets back in 2013.

Channel the wind
All MET helmets are renowned for their exceptional ventilation, thanks to our industry-leading expertise in developing shapes that channel the wind. The Tube further optimizes this process, with our latest projects demonstrating up to 33% improvement in ventilation performance compared to their predecessors.

Performance driven
Having an in-house wind tunnel allows us to provide our athletes and teams with the knowledge and tools they need to win against the wind, making MET a strategic partner in their performance growth.
While most brands diversify, we specialise in helmets to ensure that we offer the very best products every time. The TUBE is the latest addition to our Italian HQ in Talamona, completing what is now the most advanced helmet development facility in the world. This includes a crash test laboratory, FEM virtual analysis, 3D prototyping, and now an aerodynamic and thermal wind tunnel.
