I noticed some updates to the Met Drone from yesterdays Giro TT.
Here it is compared to the Met Drone used in UAE Tour 2024 from McNulty.
Why would they change the already “most used aero helmut by Pros” ?? They could launch a new product, yes - not update the Drone, I think…

Given all the new aero helmets showing up in the pro ranks, they may have felt that they needed to show something new (the drone is a bit long in the tooth…kinda like the Giro Aerohead before the new “dark helmet” monstrosity Jumbo is wearing). Doing a quick shell mod (while leaving the foam and visor unchanged) was probably quickest solution. Alternately, they may have been working with Pog and tweaking the drone to work better for his position.
It just looks like a variation of the tail so a small evolution of their ‘wide body’ helmet. They already have the Codatronca as another TT helmet with the shorter tail. I am sure the fact Pog is wearing it and we are talking about it will be a marketing dream.
Their marketing team must not be very good, I can’t find anything else online about it really

It’s obviously not released yet but we are talking about it 🤔 Wait until Pog wins the Giro maybe Tour double and it gets released 😉

He did win it - still no mention on Met’s site. Basically, it looks like a non-truncated version of the Wide Body -
It’s obviously still not released what are you expecting? It’s only been seen in the wild twice. Maybe at the upcoming tdf? Looks like a wide body with the lazer volante rear to me. I use a Drone in IM races.
