With all the talk of the new Shiv and P-4-5 this new helmet seems to have been lost in the mix:

Bold claims that frankly I don’t buy “reduces drag from every angle… in every position”. That said, I could see how this helmet could work very well for certain people with certain positions.
“we thought, why didn’t someone else think of that?”
It looks like a fine helmet, at least compared to the right things. 
Looks really good. I think that or another of that style might be a decent change from my LG P09 for my position considering I tend to have trouble keeping my head still.
looks conceptually very similar to the aerohead with a few curves thrown in

I think if you compared the two of them in hand the MET would be significantly “wider” and more boulbus whereas the Aerohead is quite streamlined. The idea MET has is to use the helmet to move air around the rider’s shoulders. It’s a good idea if you can make it work.

And it’s quite a bit lighter! I might go for it tbh.
For this reason alone I’m going to pick one up and test it. The Aerohead is a brick. I’m not sure I could wear it for more than an Olympic.
Hello GreenPlease and All,
https://www.met-helmets.com/products/tri-aero/codatronca
Weight Codatronca quoted at 330g vs. 450g for Giro Aerohead … is a plus …
No mention of MIPS though …
And does not appear to be certified for US yet …
I’m surprised that someone hasn’t tried to use exotic materials in a helmet yet (e.g. aerogel). More expensive than EPS but you could reduce the weight considerably.
I will be surprised if the medium and large helmets are more than 20 grams lighter than the Aerohead. Until the Rivale, I hadn’t seen a met helmet under 275gms, but I may have missed it. Given the tendency to advertise weights for size small, I’m not optimistic on weight.
British Cycling for 2012 Olympics went all in on fancy materials and customisation.
This helmet does look very interesting from a few standpoints, so I’ll be getting some to test with. There are certain athletes for whom this looks like it could be a good option.
I just 3 for my store, will be coming in next week. Looks like a very nice helmet. Will post some on it when i have in stock.
Looks really interesting

Have you got any in stock yet?
Oh yes, already about 3 weeks ago, right after that original post. Will likely be my new helmet for next season. It is super nice that it feels so much lighter then the Giro Aerbrick. No, serious, the Aerohead is a fantastic helmet but for me it is really heavy but most of all just too hot for me.
But only M’s no size L yet. But the fit is sport on for me, I just like it a lot also position wise.

I’m shocked someone can keep their head that low and look straight ahead like that. How does one get that kind of flexibility? At that head height I’m looking maybe 3 feet ahead of my wheels.
It certainly helps to have eyeballs that stick out past your brow…;

Cool. Are you selling it yet? I searched around a bit but couldn’t see it for sale anywhere. Seems like December is the official release date. I’d like to test it out as I like the over all design.
Another thing. Turtle. Pivot your neck down at your shoulder and up at your head. Takes some practice.
I’ll try that, thanks. I’ve been practicing and it looks way better in my last race pictures but still nowhere near this guy
Yes, we do. Although i have to admit i think i have to add it to our online store. We are building a new one that launches jan 1st. But if you like to get 1 in black/red let me know. I can easily add one to our store or help you out in a different way.
Regards,
Jeroen
