Specialized Ambush Mountain Bike Helmet - White Mountains

The Ambush is the lightest and most ventilated extended coverage helmet available and now features the added protection of MIPS.

Specialized have teamed up with MIPS researchers to introduce MIPS SL; a new, ultra-light, and supremely comfortable version of MIPS that's available exclusively on Specialized helmets. With MIPS SL, MIPS technology has essentially been integrated within the helmet padding itself. MIPS SL's minimalist "watchband" attachment system provides 10 to 15 millimetres of rotation in every direction and offers the same brain protection benefits as other versions of MIPS, while also ushering in a new level of comfort and weight savings.

Starting with protection, the Ambush boasts a significant amount of extended coverage, Energy Optimised Multi-Density EPS foam that manages the energy from impacts effectively, and a Aramid-Reinforced Skeleton that provides extra structure for the foam. Even with the added protection, it fits comfortably with the low profile and fully integrated Mindset 360 fit system. With its five height positions, this system provides unmatched adjustment, while an integrated dial allows for on-the-fly tinkering. The Ambush also keeps you cool with 4th Dimension Cooling System's massive vents and exhaust ports, so you don't have to worry about overheating, even on the hottest days.
