MET's Rivale has long been a mainstay in their line up and is now better than ever! With a complete redesign and MIPS liner, the new Rivale MIPS continues the legacy!Redesigned classic with improved comfort, fit and ventilationNACA Vents provide incredible cooling performanceMIPS protection system improves safetyNew MET Safe-T Upsilon Retention System has wide range of adjustment and is easy to usePorts for securely storing sunglasses when not in useThe Rivale MIPS offers incredible aero performance while also being incredibly well ventilated thanks to MET's signature NACA Vents, that provide excellent cooling in even the hottest conditions without compromising how the helmet cuts through the air. Safety and comfort haven't been forgotten either, with the Rivale featuring improved fit and comfort, while the new Safe-T Upsilon retention system is easy to use and has a wide range of adjustment. A MIPS protection system is used in the Rivale for the first time and gives increased protection in the event of a crash. The Rivale also features neat docking ports for sunglasses when they're not in use, keeping them securely in place. Stylish, comfortable and offering incredible performance, the MET Rivale MIPS is one of the best all-round road helmets money can buy.Size Chart:
Safety First The Rivale (MIPS) Road Helmet is first and foremost, focused on protecting your head should you be unfortunate to find yourself falling off your bike. The first line of defence is the combination of the shock-absorbing EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) inner paired with a tough and durable polycarbonate shell. These are moulded seamlessly together and provide a helmet you can trust should you crash, soaking up impact forces and maintaining the integrity of the helmet. Safety is further enhanced via the MIPS-C2® Brain Protection System. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. This system sits unobtrusively between the Air Mesh comfort padding and EPS core, boosting protection without affecting comfort or adding unwieldy bulk. Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here More Comfort. Improved Fit. This iteration of the Rivale has also seen an improvement to comfort levels. Getting just the right fit every time is made possible by the Safe-T Upsilon Fit System. A twist of the rear dial allows you to get the fit just how you like it. This works in tandem with the 360-degree Head belt, with vertical adjustment, to ensure no pressure points and perfect stability. Air Mesh comfort pads also ensure sweat is quickly wicked away and they're washable too, letting you keep everything fresh on every ride. Aero Efficiency Optimised The MET design team have honed the aero performance of the Rivale, making it better than ever, while still maintaining outstanding levels of ventilation. The NACA Vent built-in with a lower and tube-shaped profile makes the Rivale MIPS even more aerodynamic than its predecessor. The front vents are now longer and wider, enhancing airflow into the helmet. Once inside, airflow rushes along internal air channels to give a boost to your comfort and dispel sweat vapour. The front vents can also serve as sunglasses docks.

The SRAM Rival 1 Type 3 rear derailleur is engineered for smooth, reliable shifting action - from the larger upper pulley offset to the 12-tooth X-SYNC pulley wheels. By eliminating unwanted chain movement, X-HORIZON shifts faster, puts an end to ghost shifting and reduces shift force and chain slap. And with CAGE LOCK technology, wheel removal and installation are easier than ever.

Although Rival sits below Force in the SRAM line, it benefits from the same technology, which in turn has trickled down from SRAM's top-of-the-line Red group. This includes a move to 11-speed technology. so you'll have 2 additional gears. Probably the main feature that you will feel immediately is the ErgoFit textured body. The redesigned body is shaped to better contour the shifter to the bar transition and is very much textured to add grip, with a better finger wrap around. The grip is increased and the comfort is improved even further.The aluminium lever blade is extended a little to make the reach easier from the drops, and both the gear and brake levers are individually reach adjustable to get that perfect tailored fit. Zero Loss shifting is probably one reason that Red is used to so much success in the Pro Peloton; it means there is no lever movement before engagement - move the shifter and the shifting immediately engages.NB: Compatible with cable brakes - not suitable for hydraulic brakes

Not content with re-writing the rules for electronic drivetrains with the latest eTap AXS groupset, SRAM went one step further and created a cassette to match. The Rival XG-1250 Cassette uses SRAM's XDR freehub design to change the way we think about road bike gearing.12-speed design with 10-tooth start helps provide a wider gear rangeMore gradual progression between cogs with at least five one-tooth jumps between ratiosDesigned to work with an XDR driver bodyLightweight Full Pin design keeps weight to a minimumNickel chrome plating for quiet running and excellent durabilityWorking in conjunction with the latest SRAM Rival AXS chainsets, the XG-1250 Cassette is designed to give riders more choice for their gearing, with a wider range and closer steps between ratios. The XG-1250 uses an XDR driver body with technology derived for their XD driver body. This enables SRAM to create a cassette with a 10-tooth start, the same as their mountain bike cassettes. Combined with a 12th ratio, this means the XG-1250 provides a wider gear range, with more gradual progression between ratios; each cassette has at least five one-tooth jumps between cogs.The wider range and 10-tooth start mean that when used with the new Rival AXS chainsets, the XG-1250 can be used with smaller chainrings to offer the same equivalent gears, with a 50t chainring providing the equivalent gear of a 55t chainring when used with a regular cassette with an 11t start. The clever Full Pin construction means the XG-1250 is lightweight, durable and shifts smoothly, even under heavy load. It's the perfect compliment to the Rival eTap AXS groupset.
