Specialized Dissident 2 MIPS Full Face Helmet

Specialized Dissident 2 MIPS full face helmet – Sophisticated foam and ventilation system

The Dissident 2 from Specialized is a very lightweight, excellently ventilated downhill helmet that has a sophisticated impact protection system with MIPS technology. Under the carbon shell and the polycarbonate layer, there are EPS inserts in five places. This strategic placement of foam with varying densities ensures optimal energy absorption in the event of an impact while keeping the weight very low. The movable intermediate layer that dissipates rotational forces, known from MIPS helmets, is designed as the MIPS Evolve Solution. This means it has been suspended from special fabric pockets to prevent creaking that could disrupt your concentration on the trail. To keep your head cool in racing conditions, the Dissident 2 has a large air intake behind the visor and other vents that allow warm air to escape. This Inside-Out Principle leads to a constant circulation and prevents overheating. The helmet has been equipped with antimicrobial padding and a secure D-ring closure. The scope of delivery includes replacement pads and a practical carrying bag.

Technology:

MIPS
MIPS is the acronym for " Multi Directional Impact Protection System" and refers to a movable protective layer that is built into most Specialized helmets. This inlay is connected to the helmet via an elastomer and can glide in all directions by approx. 10 to 15 mm. This absorbs and reduces the rotational forces acting on the head during a fall. In the MIPS SL version of the S-Works Road and the Ambush helmets, Specialized also ensure that the MIPS layer does not have any disadvantages in terms of ventilation and weight.
