Reviews over the

MET Rivale

Very good helmet, works and does the job.

A really modern stylish looking helmet. Fits the bill for both racing around and simply riding your bike. Fits well but shame I'm in-between sizes and had to go larger leading to a bigger helmet than what I would have liked. The medium fit perfectly in its own but didn't leave room for a skull cap which I need in winter. Nonetheless it's very comfortable and fits well. Easy to adjust straps. Would recommend

Pros & Cons

Nice light weight helmet with good adjustment but slightly disappointingly thin straps hence an 8 & not a 10.

Pros & Cons

I bought this as a replacement to my old lazer o2 helmet. The fit on this is great, nice and slim to your head, no oversized mushroom effect. When out riding its noticeably quieter than my previous helmet, not sure if that's the aero effect but it's a welcome improvement. Doesn't feel like it's any warmer for having less ventilation, the only thing I noticed was that it's a little less vented right at the front of my brow which was slightly odd at first as the previous helmet was very open there, but it doesn't seem to cause overheating even in the 30°+ heat recently. The finishing seems pretty smart with no scruffy edges etc.

Pros & Cons

This helmet was the first helmet I've owned that isn't a tight fit. I have had four previous helmets all sized large including different Met model but none are as comfortable as the Rivale. The combination of the excellent adjustment system & the reduced weight just suit me perfectly.

Found this helmet at a really good price and the ordering and delivery were as smooth as you like. Will be shopping here more.

Pros & Cons

Very light, very comfortable and well ventilated it’s also very good looking. Once more MET has created a fantastic helmet that I would highly recommend.

Pros & Cons

Really nice looking helmet that doesn’t look like a mushroom sat on your head also really light and comfy

Pros & Cons

Speedy delivery for a speedy helmet. Light, looks great and with the dial easy to adjust. Love it

Pros & Cons

Light weight with decent snug fit. Vents work well letting just enough air circulation while still being aero.

Pros & Cons

I'm really impressed with the quality and value of this helmet. I bought it to replace an four year old helmet from a more expensive brand; this helmet is lighter, more comfortable and looks better! Sizing is smaller than other brands my head measures 56cm, and a medium on it's largest adjustment is right for me.

Pros & Cons

I've been biking for 25 years. And I've had alot of skid lids in my time. I was a loyal buyer of kask helmets, always had kask. But thought I'd give MET a trial run. I could not afford the MET MANTA. so opted for the MET RIVALE. all reviews on this helmet were very good so I took the plunge and bought it. After several rides, accumulating to 278 miles I can honestly say this is 1 of the most comfy and aerodynamic helmets I've owned.. 10 Out of 10..

Pros & Cons

Light comfortable. Dont notice it is there.

Pros & Cons

Really appreciate how well this is made, with the hard plastic around almost the whole helmet (even at the back) to stop those bumps and scuffs. Looks a little big on the head but that's probably just the large and my fat head....

Pros & Cons

Very light and good fit for a narrow head, i have another Met before so had already tried and tested the fit.

Excellent helmet. Light weight and very comfortable. Easy to adjust. Straps fit perfectly without rubbing on your ears which l found l always used to get with my old giro helmet. Well worth the money

Originally had the MET Strale....a nice helmet, but this is much better. A bit aero but with nice ventilation. The optional light makes this look cool and safe. Great helmet and from Mantel a brilliant price.

Pros & Cons

Helmet looks good. Very comfortable, hardly notice it is on your head. Easily better than a lot of more expensive helmets on the market. Strap could be a bit better.

Pros & Cons

Who needs to spend £150+ on a kask when you can buy this helmet? Excellent performance and ventilation and light for an aero-ish lid. Looks very cool in the team colours

Pros & Cons

Perfect

Purchased this not so long ago but have since used it 6 times and I can say it's the best fitting helmet I've owned. Great fit and great sleek design. No more mushroom effect

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

This helmet replaced a Giro Synthe that broke, this is as good in terms of fit and the cooling seems great. The colour looks brilliant and I have had a few good comments from friends along the lines of "is that a MET? Wow looks really good" or "is that the Quebeka helmet?, nice." I am going to get another one in the blue next.
