MET Bike Helmets - Where to find in Sydney
- Thread starter Australia
- Start date
I know you said Sydney, but I had trouble tracking them down as well, so went online. I got a MET helmet from CRC not too long ago, one listed as AS/NZ standards. Turned out it was legit, silver sticker etc...
I tried to find them in Canberra last year, even rang the distributor up who told me who stocked them. Went to the store only to be told by all the staff that they "don't carry anything with that name". Went to the only other store 30 mins drive away who said they couldn't get them. Gave up and bought another brand as distributor wouldn't sell direct. Good luck, hopefully you don't have to drive to the other side of Sydney to get the helmet you want! Have you tried other brands? I have had luck with newer models of brands that previously just didn't fit.

Hey Poita,

If you're happy to wait a couple of weeks you should see it get much easier to find them. The Australian distributor has changed recently and the new suppliers should have stock very shortly (although you may have to wait a bit longer for things like the Parabellum, which is apparently coming a bit later).
Hit up any shop that sells Merida / Lapierre / Norco and they should be able to give you all the info you need.
I am currently running a fox striker, I think it's a recent lighter upgrade by fox of the flux. I had actually previously tried a flux and didn't like it, but I think this has the same shell. Weird! Found them available at a few shops too!Hey Poita,

That it's good news, which importer is taking over?

Advance Traders (Merida Norco Lapierre etc.)
I'm keen to have a look at some of the newer models. Last time I tried one I was in between sizes with the Veleno, so hopefully I'll have more luck with some of the newer models.
I quite like the look of the Terra, not that I really need a new helmet...

Slightly dig
sold the super comfortable, but slightly heavy and Uber hot TLD A1 helmet and looking for a replacement
Short list comes down to a bell super ($100~), POC trabec ($180) and the MET Parabellum...
I love the intergrated Gopro mount on the met and Super (great for mounting light on)
Read plenty of reviews, and the bell super suffers from weigh and lack of ventilation. So that kinda kills it for me (lack of colours too)
next is the POC
rode with it at stromlo and really liked the air flow... Plenty of colours, Abit more exy, but still heavyish
some more reading brought me to the Parabellum which is a featherweight compared to everything else in the category!!!!!
reports on airflow seem to be good along with fit/comfort!
does anyone know where in Sydney (preferably CBD) that stocks The met Parabellum? I really wanna try it for fit before I hit the hammer!!!

Not sure if they're in the shop floor but worth a phone call?
