Clean aesthetic, comfortable fit, and a budget-friendly price—that’s what makes up the Align II. The standout feature of the Align II is the inclusion of the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS), a patented technology designed to mitigate against rotational forces transmitted to the brain during certain angled impact scenarios. In addition, the Align II became the only $50 helmet to earn the highest Five Star rating from the independent testing done at the renowned Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

When including MIPS and earning this Five Star Virginia Tech® Helmet Rating™ we didn’t give up any comfort—the Align II includes the Headset SX dial fit system for easy fit adjustment, our 4th Dimension Cooling System for incredible ventilation, and an easy one-size fit system. If you’re on the quest for a feature-rich helmet that leaves some jingle jangle in your pocket, the Align II is for you.

The most aero road helmet in the peloton now breathes better. The S-Works Evade 3 was reinvented from the inside out to cool better, making it the fastest choice for more stages.

Through extensive Computational Fluid Dynamics and Win Tunnel testing, we created a rear “diffuser” that helps minimize drag and improve ventilation. The diffuser helps optimize aero performance by allowing air to release easier and improves ventilation by drawing 10% more air through the helmet at a given speed.

The Occipital Base Adjustment optimizes comfort by personalizing fit to individual head shape and helmet angle can be adjusted for compatibility with glasses. An adjustable Tri-Fix web system gives riders added comfort with updated, thinner 10mm webbing that minimizes strap noise. And the ANGi-ready, ultralight Mindset micro-dial fit system with height adjustability has been updated for improved grip and reaction for easy on-the-go fit.

Our ultralight and supremely comfortable MIPS Node Air technology is integrated directly into the helmet padding, with a sleek low friction layer designed to dissipate rotational forces. With Specialized’s proprietary development work, we added perforations to maximize breathability, performance, comfort, and weight savings.

• Enlarged front vents help increase ventilation
• Rear Diffuser for aero and ventilation benefits
• MIPS Air Node is MIPS’ most ventilation-focused solution
• Adjustable Tri-Fix web splitter boosts comfort through personalized fit.
• Precision, full-wrap polycarbonate shell for increased durability and premium finish.
• Dual-density optimized EPS foam.

As Specialized celebrates its 50th Anniversary and the innovation that has helped us inspire riders worldwide, we have our sights set on the next 50 years of innovation. The ultimate all-around helmet, the S-Works Prevail 3 Forward 50 LTD, represents this commitment to continue pedaling the planet forward by innovating for riders. It all comes together in a stunning graphic.

Gold represents our 50th year and how our desire to improve lives through riding has not lost an ounce of luster. The pink calls back to our historic Team Stumpjumper and our commitment to racing with an irreverent, rebellious spirit. With only a limited supply worldwide, they represent the ultimate expression of the innovate or die attitude that has inspired Specialized for the last 50 years and continues to drive us into the future.

The S-Works Prevail 3 helmet is perfect for riders who value the comfort and thermoregulation benefits delivered by superior ventilation. It is the ultimate all-around helmet that excels in hot conditions, strenuous climbs, and mountainous stages.

With a never-ending quest to push the limits of ventilation, we eliminated air-blocking foam “bridges” from the center, effectively creating through-air channels that increase the surface area of ventilation by 24.5% compared to the S-Works Prevail II Vent helmet. The all-new S-Works Prevail 3 has the most ventilation area of any helmet we have ever made.

When a helmet is impacted, its job is to dissipate the energy of the impact. The conventional approach to helmet design is that more foam (EPS) means better energy management. We re-wrote the book on cycling helmet design by innovating beyond foam. Woven aramid “cables” traverse the helmet and are anchored to carbon fiber side panels. Upon impact, the AirCage technology* works as a suspension bridge and is designed to distribute localized forces throughout the helmet.

The Occipital Base Adjustment optimizes comfort by personalizing fit to individual head shape, and the helmet angle can be adjusted for compatibility with glasses. An adjustable Tri-Fix web system gives riders added comfort with updated, thinner 10mm webbing that minimizes strap noise. And the ultralight Mindset micro-dial fit system with height adjustability has been updated for improved grip and reaction for easy on-the-go fit.

Keep your littlest rider on the path of two-wheeled freedom with the all-new Shuffle 2 LED helmet. Through an exclusive partnership with KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Mips, we shared our helmet’s CAD designs and studied the malleable skulls of young children with Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Because children’s heads are softer and still growing, using low density foam - and more of it - was the outcome of this partnership.

DATA DRIVEN INNOVATION: Coming out of our KTH and Mips partnership, the Shuffle 2 LED had increased the amount of low density foam inside by 18%, only growing the overall size of the helmet by 5%.

COMFORT: The Shuffle 2 LED may have the latest and greatest technology inside, but that only matters when the helmet is worn properly. That’s why Shuffle 2 LED features specific child oriented sizing and our SX headset fit system, to help it stay properly fitted and comfortable, whenever it is worn. The easy-to-use tri-fix web splitter makes getting a ‘fuss-free’ fit incredibly simple, all adding up to a helmet they’ll beg to wear.

LED LIGHT: The Shuffle 2 LED comes equipped with an integrated LED tail light for increased visibility. The LED tail light seamlessly blends with the helmet's design, allowing kids to revel in the joy of discovery while parents rest assured that their child is always within sight.

UNLEASH THEIR IMAGINATION: On the outside, the Shuffle 2 LED comes in energetic colors sure to inspire fun and creativity from adventure-hungry kids. The included sticker pack offers a retro vibe with a modern twist with bright graphics and lettering for even more personalization. After all, getting our young riders excited enough to want to wear their helmet everyday is the number one goal.

We work with the fastest racers in the world to create products that help them win the biggest races in the world. Then we make those products available to all riders so they can realize the same performance benefits as the pros.

The S-Works TT 5 helmet is an excellent example of our Made In Racing approach. Remco Evenepoel and Kasper Asgreen of Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl logged countless hours in our Win Tunnel until we arrived at the fastest TT helmet we have ever made.

Using CFD modeling, the helmet team reshaped the TT helmet, positioning the rear of the helmet to be nearer the rider’s shoulders, reducing the eddy of air that creates drag. To allow cleaner internal airflow, the helmet is built around an integrated aero head sock, compressing a rider’s ears and hair for optimized aerodynamics through the helmet. The results? 26 seconds off Remco’s 40K time-trial for a race that’s won by tenths of seconds.

The S-Works TT 5 helmet comes equipped with a Class 1 optics shield for zero distortion when looking down the road, unlike traditional lenses that are typically drape-formed with clear plastic. The shield has a hydrophobic coating to help clear moisture away if the weather turns bad on race day, as well as a high-grade (EN166) anti-fog coating.

The Occipital Base Adjustment optimizes comfort by personalizing fit to individual head shape and helmet angle can be adjusted for compatibility with glasses. An adjustable Tri-Fix web system gives riders added comfort with updated, thinner 10mm webbing that minimizes strap noise.

Our ultralight and supremely comfortable MIPS Node Air technology is integrated directly into the helmet padding, with a sleek low friction layer designed to dissipate rotational forces.

In the helmet world, there's an unwritten rule that many designs seem to follow: aerodynamics, weight, aesthetics, and ventilation—pick two, there's your helmet. In our typical fashion, however, we don't follow these norms—we innovate. And it's precisely this mentality that led us to the Airnet with MIPS—patented protection against "rotational violence" caused by angled impacts. Loosely based upon the leather "hairnets" that cyclists used to wear before protection was a priority, we took their ventilation and classic style and incorporated them into a modern helmet design that combines all of the above features.

Although we had the hairnet shape in mind during the design phase, we started by looking at the category leader in aerodynamic road helmets, our S-Works Evade, to see if we could make a classic style that wasn't only aesthetically pleasing, but also helped in the aero department. What we came up with is our third fastest helmet, behind the TT and Evade, that's lightweight, well ventilated, and looking good no matter your riding style.

The Airnet with MIPS also features our ultra-light Mindset HairPort micro-dial fit system making the perfect fit easily achievable, our drirelease® Merino wool pads provide you with increased comfort, odor control, and sweat management. You'll also find that it's equipped with the burgeoning MIPS technology (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System). Clean and simple, the Airnet helmet with MIPS is the ideal blend of functionality and performance for riders seeking both adventure and style.

Cooler heads will always prevail. The new S-Works Prevail II Vent’s massive cooling power helps better regulate your body’s temperature to keep you cooler so that you’ll always be ready when your ride heats up.

We took everything that the S-Works Prevail II was doing right, and did it even better. One of the greatest benefits resulted from the removal of a total of seven foam “bridges” from the center and sides to create more effective ventilation channels. These expanded channels move air across your head 18% faster than the original Prevail II. The faster air moves across your head, the faster heat is whisked away from your head and the cooler you remain—it’s called “convective heat transfer”. This all adds up to the coolest helmet we’ve ever made.
