FAQs

What is MIPS?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a technology designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. MIPS uses a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the helmet to slide relative to the head, absorbing some of the energy from angled impacts.

How do I measure my head for a helmet?

Use a flexible measuring tape and wrap it around your head, about an inch above your eyebrows and around the widest part of your head. Refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart for the correct size.

How often should I replace my helmet?

Helmets should be replaced every 3-5 years, depending on use and storage conditions. Replace the helmet immediately after any impact.

Can I use this helmet for other sports?

This helmet is designed primarily for cycling. Using it for other sports is not recommended, as it may not provide adequate protection for those activities.

How do I clean the helmet?

Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth to clean the helmet. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the helmet's materials.

What is the warranty on the Specialized Align II MIPS?

The warranty information can vary, but typically Specialized helmets are covered for a period against defects in materials and workmanship. Refer to the manufacturer's warranty information for specific details.

How should I store my helmet?

Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose or unstable.

Adjust the Headset SX dial and ensure the straps are properly positioned and tightened. Check the sizing to ensure you have the correct helmet size.

Ventilation feels insufficient.

Ensure that the vents are not blocked by hair or clothing. Consider using a cycling cap for added sun protection and ventilation.

Straps are twisted or uncomfortable.

Adjust the strap position and ensure they are lying flat against your face and neck. Check that the buckle is properly fastened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Sizing and Fit: Measure your head circumference and consult the sizing chart to ensure you select the correct size.
  2. Adjusting the Fit: Use the Headset SX dial to fine-tune the fit. The helmet should sit level on your head, with the front edge approximately two finger widths above your eyebrows. The straps should form a 'V' shape under your ears.

  4. Care: Clean the helmet with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents. Replace the helmet if it has sustained a significant impact.
