When it’s time to give it your all on a trail, the last thing you need to worry about is whether your helmet will protect you in the event of a fall. But again you don’t want to wear a full face helmet on every ride. That’s why we created the Ambush, the lightest, most ventilated extended coverage helmet on the market. Our new ANGI Crash Sensor also gives you and your loved ones more peace of mind than ever, as used with our app for iOS or Android, the sensor will detect any fall and send a text message to specified contacts on your phone. .

It also syncs with our app and STRAVA to provide GPS-based activity tracking. We’ve teamed up with MIPS researchers to introduce MIPS SL, a new ultra-lightweight and ultra-comfortable version of MIPS that’s available exclusively from Specialized helmets. With MIPS SL, we’ve essentially integrated MIPS technology into the helmet’s padding itself. MIPS SL’s minimalist watch band attachment system provides 10 to 15 millimeters of rotation in all directions and offers the same brain protection benefits as other MIPS versions, while offering a new level of comfort and lightness.

When it comes to protection, the Ambush offers significantly expanded coverage, Energy Optimized Multi-Density EPS foam to effectively manage impact energy, and Aramid-Reinforced Skeleton construction to provide additional shell to the foam. However, even with the added protection, it fits perfectly with our fully integrated, low-profile Mindset 360 fitting system. With its five height settings, this system provides unrivaled adjustability, while the integrated dial allows you to adjust on the fly.

The Ambush also keeps you cool thanks to our massive 4th Dimension Cooling System vents and aeration ports, so you don’t have to worry about overheating, even on the hottest days. Lastly, we’ve included a micro-indexing visor with quickly adjustable positions and plenty of room to fit goggles. The combination of all these features puts the Ambush way ahead of the competition.
