Specialized Align II - S/M, Satin White, 2024

Certified protection, a clean aesthetic, comfortable fit and affordable price - that's what makes Align II. A standout feature of Align II is the incorporation of the revolutionary Multidirectional Impact Protection System (MIPS), a patented protection against "rotational forces" caused by oblique impacts. When we included MIPS, we didn't sacrifice any comfort - the Align II includes our Tri-Fix strap splitter, our dial-fit Headset SX system for easy customization, our 4th Dimension Cooling system for incredible ventilation, and three universal shell sizes to achieve the perfect fit. If you're looking for a feature-rich helmet that will leave some of that penny in your pocket, the Align II is for you. The MIPS system is a low-friction layer that allows for 10 to 15mm of sliding movement in all directions. Studies show that this reduces some of the rotational forces transmitted to the brain during angular impacts. With a special Tri-Fix splitter to hold your straps in place and three shell sizes, riders can achieve an easy and precise fit that fits a wide range of head sizes. Add micro adjustments for on-the-go adjustments and you have a simple, secure and precise fit. With sizes designed for children, the Headset SX fitting system is designed to be easy to fasten and the helmet fits perfectly. The 4th Dimension Cooling System with deep internal grooves and balanced drain ports. Low-profile in-mold shell is strong and lightweight. Reflective prints for better visibility in low visibility conditions.
