The Specialized Loma Mips helmet is an all-road helmet for riders who move easily between smooth tarmac, gravel roads and everyday training rides. It brings several of the fit, cooling and comfort ideas developed for Specialized’s premium S-Works helmets into a clean, practical design for road and gravel riding.
With a 5-Star Virginia Tech® Helmet Rating, Mips Essential Core impact protection, 4D Brow Cooling and integrated sunglass storage, the Loma is a well-equipped option for riders who want a comfortable helmet that works just as well for a weekend gravel mission as it does for the regular road loop.
Built for Road and Gravel
The Loma is designed for riders whose routes are not limited to one surface. Its full-wrap polycarbonate shell gives the helmet a durable, premium finish, while its streamlined shape keeps the look right for road, gravel and fast all-road riding.
Comfort You Can Fine-Tune
Specialized’s FS3 Fit System and occipital base adjustment allow you to personalise the fit and tune the helmet angle. This helps the helmet sit comfortably and keeps it working cleanly with your eyewear. Adjustable Tri-Fix web splitters and thin 10 mm straps further help create a neat, low-bulk fit around the ears and under the chin.
Cooling Inspired by S-Works Helmets
The Loma uses 4D Brow Cooling, internal air channels and large rear exhaust ports to move air across the head and out of the helmet. It is particularly welcome on long climbs, warm gravel roads and hard training rides where ventilation makes a real difference.
Mips Essential Core Protection
The Mips Essential Core system is a low-friction layer designed to allow 10–15 mm of movement in all directions during certain angled impacts. This sliding movement is intended to help reduce some of the rotational forces transmitted to the brain.
Convenient Sunglass Storage
Dedicated sunglass storage gives you a secure place to stow your eyewear when the pace drops, the climb steepens or the light changes. It is a simple feature, but one that makes the Loma more useful on changeable all-road rides.
