Specialized Ambush 2

MIPS SL is an ultra-lightweight, low-friction layer integrated directly into the helmet's padding system. It provides the same rotational impact protection as traditional MIPS liners but eliminates the plastic slip-plane, which reduces weight and improves ventilation.

Yes, the Ambush 2 features integrated sunglasses storage with hidden rubber flaps. These flaps securely grip the arms of your glasses, keeping them in place even when you are riding through rough, technical terrain.

The Ambush 2 uses a fixed, breakaway visor design. While it is not adjustable in terms of height, it is engineered to break away during an impact to reduce rotational forces and is positioned to provide an unobstructed field of vision.

The helmet uses Computational Fluid Dynamic design and 4D brow cooling to draw air into internal channels. While no helmet is perfectly cool at a standstill, these channels are highly effective at pulling air through the shell even at lower speeds, preventing overheating during intense efforts.

No, the Occipital Base Adjustment is specifically designed to allow for seamless eyewear integration. It lets you fine-tune the helmet's position on your head so that the retention system does not conflict with the arms of your sunglasses or goggles.

The Ambush 2 has earned a 5-star Virginia Tech Helmet Safety Rating. This is the highest possible rating from the independent testing facility, indicating excellent protection against both linear and rotational impacts.
