MET's Slippery Drone Wide Body II TT helmet the Result of In-House Wind Tunnel Testing
Briefly

MET has launched a cutting-edge wind tunnel in Talamona, Italy, named the Tube, to enhance its helmet design for elite cyclists, including Tadej Pogacar. The Tube allows for extensive aerodynamic and thermal testing, analyzing everything from a helmet's shape to its integration with rider position and bike dynamics. With advanced features such as thermal sensors, the Tube tests airflow in real-time, ensuring optimal performance. The Drone Wide Body II is the first product to benefit from this innovative facility, solidifying MET's position at the forefront of cycling equipment technology.
MET's new wind tunnel, the Tube, allows for in-depth aerodynamic and thermal analysis, improving helmet design for elite riders like Tadej Pogacar.
The Tube's unique design enables both individual helmet aerodynamics and holistic testing with the rider and bike, setting a new standard in helmet development.
Thermal wind tunnel testing integrates sensors in the headform to measure airflow efficiency, crucial for optimizing comfort and performance during cycling.
With its state-of-the-art facilities in Talamona, MET is now home to the most advanced helmet development lab globally, combining multiple innovative testing methods.
