Specialized Align II MIPS Cycling Helmet
Now incorporating industry-leading safety technology, in the form of Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS), the Specialized Align II MIPS Helmet is a great choice for those looking to increase their safety, whether that be on the daily commute, for a weekend road ride or a gravel adventure. An all-encompassing fit has been made possible with the help of the Specialized Tri-Fix system that holds your straps in place. The micro-adjustable dial allows you to further dial your fit in, with easy on the move adjustability. Should the temperature rise, the 4th Dimension Cooling System kicks in to optimise ventilation. Placing an in-moulded shell in the helmet reduces weight and improves strength. Keeping visible when riding on the road is aided with reflective decals.
Features
- The MIPS system is a low-friction layer that allows a sliding motion of 10 to 15mm in all directions. Studies indicate that this reduces some of the rotational forces transmitted to the brain during angled impacts
- With the Specialized Tri-Fix holding your straps in place and three shell sizes, riders can achieve an easy and accurate fit that accommodates a wide range of head sizes. Add in a micro-adjustable dial for on-the-fly adjustability and you're ensured an easy, secure, and accurate fit
- 4th Dimension Cooling System optimises ventilation
- In-moulded shell improves strength and reduces weight
- Reflective decals help with increased visibility in low-light conditions

I bought this as I did not have a helmet for my bike. Very happy with the price. The lowest price helmet I could find with MIPS. Looks really good and is very comfortable too.

Q & A
3 questions answered
Will this product hold my sunglasses?
Hi Anthony, The Align II doesn't have a dedicated feature for stowing sunglasses, such as an eyewear dock; that's found on some of Specialized's higher-end helmets. You can usually tuck the arms into the vents as with most helmets, but it isn't a purpose-built hold. Many thanks
If I'm 56 cm head circumference, what size should I go for? (SPECIALIZED, Align II MIPS HELMET)
Hi Iwan, 56 cm sits right on the boundary: S/M is 52 to 56 cm, M/L is 56 to 60 cm. Either fits, so go S/M for a snug fit or M/L for a bit more room. Many thanks Joe W
My head is 55.5 cm but I cannot see how I would be s/m. What are the sizings like? What would you recommend I go for? (Specialized Align II MIPS Helmet)
Hi Iwan, For the Align II, S/M covers 52 to 56 cm, so 55.5 cm sits comfortably inside that range. The full size chart is in the Size Guide on the product page if you want to compare against M/L and XL. Thanks Joe W
About Specialized
Innovate or die.
Founded in California in 1974, Specialized began with a simple promise: serious riders deserve serious gear. Half a century later, the brand still funds its own wind tunnel, builds its own carbon, and tests every bike with the world's best so that you ride your own best.
The first production mountain bike. The first cycling-specific shoes. FACT carbon, the Win Tunnel, S-Works. Specialized has a habit of building the things the rest of cycling ends up copying.
