Introducing the Dissident II by Specialized, the ultimate companion for downhill mountain bike racing. We've worked with top athletes, Loïc Bruni and Finn Iles, to ensure the Dissident II meets the highest industry standards in safety, fit, and comfort.

The Dissident II features five strategic EPS foam inserts with varying densities for optimal shock absorption, energy management, and lightweight-ness. The use of softer foam density in certain areas absorbs more impact, transferring less to the rider, and increases your safety.

Your security doesn't stop there. The Dissident II integrates a cutting-edge Mips Evolve Solution to protect against rotational motion, redirecting that movement away from your head. With fabric pocket attachments inside, the MIPS also keeps the design sleek and creak-free.

Stay cool with our innovative ventilation system. Rather than simply adding more vents, we've enhanced the ones we have. With a hood scoop to pull in cool air and strategically placed vents to expel the warm, the Dissident II guarantees a comfortable, cool ride.

We understand the importance of lightweight gear. The EPS foam inserts keep the helmet surprisingly light without compromising on protection. Whether you're a seasoned World Cup competitor or taking part in local enduro series, the Dissident II is ready to support your championship journey.

The Dissident II also complies with U.S. CPSC Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets for Persons Age 5 and Older, giving you further peace of mind.

Experience optimal protection, uncompromised comfort, and light-weight agility with the Dissident II by Specialized.
