Comfortable, well-ventilated everyday protection with Mips® technology and a dialled fit.
The Specialized Align II is a versatile road, commuter and recreational helmet that brings proven safety technology and practical comfort to an affordable price point. It combines Mips® technology, a 5-Star Virginia Tech® Helmet Rating™ and an easy-to-adjust Headset SX fit system.
Mips® Protection
The Mips® system uses a low-friction layer designed to allow 10–15 mm of movement in certain angled impacts. This movement is intended to help reduce some of the rotational forces transmitted to the brain.
Easy, Comfortable Fit
The one-size Headset SX fit system uses a micro-adjustable rear dial to make fit changes quick and straightforward. It provides a secure, comfortable fit across a broad range of head shapes and sizes.
Cool on Everyday Rides
Specialized’s 4th Dimension Cooling System helps move air through the helmet to keep you more comfortable on commutes, fitness rides and warmer days. The in-mould shell construction keeps weight down while adding strength, while reflective decals improve visibility in lower-light conditions.
