SPECIALIZED DISSIDENT 2 FULL FACE HELMET
Race-proven protection, lightweight confidence, and uncompromising ventilation. Developed in collaboration with World Cup champions Loïc Bruni and Finn Iles, the Specialized Dissident 2 is engineered to meet the highest demands of downhill racing and aggressive enduro riding.
Featuring five uniquely tuned EPS foam inserts, the Dissident 2 balances low weight with maximum energy management—using softer foam densities where greater impact absorption is needed. The Mips® Evolve Solution helps redirect rotational forces while fabric pocket attachments reduce creakiness and unwanted movement. Ventilation is optimized with a hood scoop intake and purpose-placed exhaust vents to keep airflow moving and temperatures down when it matters most.
Whether you’re charging a World Cup track or pushing your limits at local enduro races, the Dissident 2 delivers elite-level performance, comfort, and protection.
