Met Stradivarius: very bad combo with my oakley radars, can't replace with one hand.. Sweet flows exactly into eyes, not temples as advertised
Very good fit (personal), aesthetically attractive

I rode a MET Synthesis for around year ish. Awesome helmet was a tad on the heavy side, but fit was perfect for my head. (crashed it late 2015)
Replaced it with the Rivale, it has the same awesome fit and much lighter and cheaper.

Well that's a recipe for mediocrity if i've ever heard of one... not trying to offend, just saying..
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has tried to remove the red stickers off the matte black Rivale helmet. I think it'd look better all black.

If I had to choose I'd probably go with the Manta over the Rivale (more aero, lighter, decent cooling). Just curious why folks are going with Rivale?

I've been using the Rivale for a couple of month now and I'm really happy with the purchase, light, comfortable, good cooling. I chose the Rivale over the Manta because its alot cheaper.
