The world of road cycling continues to evolve, and MET once again confirms its role among the absolute leaders in the high-performance helmet sector. The new MET Trenta 3K Carbon Team ADQ 2026 and MET Trenta 3K Carbon UAE Team Emirates-XRG 2026, two professional aero helmets developed directly for the WorldTour, have just arrived in store.
Lightweight, aerodynamic, ventilated, and designed for maximum safety, these models represent the top of the MET range dedicated to road racing.
WorldTour Helmets: The Same Ones Used by Professionals
One of the most interesting aspects of the new MET Trenta 3K Carbon 2026 is that these are exactly the same helmets used in races by professional athletes.
The UAE Team Emirates-XRG 2026 model is worn throughout the season by the champions of the WorldTour team, including Tadej Pogačar and Isaac del Toro.
The Team ADQ 2026 version, on the other hand, comes from experience in Women's WorldTour competitions and is used by leading athletes such as Elisa Longo Borghini and Mavi García.
There is no difference between the helmets used by professionals and those available to the public: same construction, same materials, and same technologies.
3K Carbon Technology: Advanced Lightweight and Aerodynamics
The heart of both helmets is the 3K Airframe technology, a special carbon structure integrated inside the helmet.
This solution allows for:
- greater structural rigidity;
- extremely low weight;
- better aerodynamic efficiency;
- optimized ventilation.
Weighing just 260 grams in size M, the new MET Trenta 3K Carbon helmets are among the most advanced and high-performing aero helmets currently available on the market.
Superior Ventilation Even on the Hottest Days
One of the strengths of the new Trenta generation is its ventilation system.
The 24 vents with internal channeling ensure a continuous and uniform flow, promoting head cooling even during the most intense efforts.
In the UAE Team Emirates-XRG 2026 model, MET even declares a 16% improvement in airflow compared to the previous generation.
The reduced contact design with the head further improves air circulation, increasing comfort during long summer rides and high-intensity races.
Maximum Safety with Mips® Air Node
Both helmets integrate the Mips® Air Node system, designed to reduce rotational forces generated by angled impacts.
In addition, there is the prestigious Virginia Tech 5 Star certification, one of the most authoritative independent tests in the world for cycling helmet safety.
The result is a helmet capable of offering advanced protection without compromising lightness, aerodynamics, or ventilation.
Professional Comfort and Personalized Fit
MET has also taken care of every detail from a fit perspective.
The Safe-T Orbital adjustment system allows for:
- 360° adjustment;
- vertical adjustment;
- occipital adjustment.
Air Lite straps with adjustable dividers further improve comfort and stability, while integrated slots allow for practical and secure attachment of glasses during climbs or breaks.
Which to Choose Between Team ADQ and UAE Team Emirates-XRG?
From a technical point of view, the two helmets share virtually the entire technological platform:
- 3K Carbon structure;
- Mips® Air Node system;
- advanced ventilation;
- weight of 260 grams;
- Virginia Tech 5 Star certification.
The main difference concerns the official graphics of the professional teams and some specific ventilation updates on the UAE Team Emirates-XRG model.
Those looking for the iconic look of Tadej Pogačar's team will find the UAE model a perfect choice, while the Team ADQ represents one of the most elegant and distinctive liveries in the Women's WorldTour scene.
