Specialized DISSIDENT 2
To develop the Dissident 2, we worked with top athletes Loïc Bruni and Finn Iles to ensure the next generation of our gravity full-face helmet meets the highest demands of downhill racing in terms of safety, state-of-the-art fit and ventilation.
Thanks to the five EPS foam inserts positioned at key points, we are able to increase or decrease the density of the foam depending on its position within the helmet, maintaining a low weight while controlling energy. Softer foam densities, for example, can absorb more energy in an impact, transferring less energy to the rider. A lot of confidence can be placed in the Dissident 2 thanks to the MIPS Evolve Solution – this low-friction layer is designed to move easily within the helmet to transfer forces away from the head. With this version of MIPS® technology, we have added fabric pockets inside the helmet to reduce creaking.
Keeping a cool head is more than a state of mind, and when things get heated, it's easy to lose your composure – especially when your head feels like it's in a sauna. To prevent this, we didn't focus on more vents, but rather on better ones. Designed according to the inside-out principle, the Dissident 2's ventilation system features a large air intake behind the visor that directs a flow of cool air in, as well as strategically placed vents that allow warm air to flow out – keeping your head cool and your mind focused in any situation.
It was very important to us to design a lightweight helmet. While racing on the track, the feeling of lightness and agility leads to faster reactions and less fatigue. Thanks to the EPS foam inserts, the helmet remains very lightweight while still offering great protection. We can only speculate what was going through Finn Iles's mind during his run at Mont-Sainte-Anne that earned him his first World Cup victory. But we do know what he definitely wasn't thinking about... Whether it's downhill or enduro racing, or any other gravity event, the Dissident 2 is made for riders who risk a lot to win.
