FAQs

What is MIPS?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a technology designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts.

How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?

The helmet should sit level on your head, with the front edge about an inch above your eyebrows. The fit system should be snug, and the chin strap should be adjusted so the helmet doesn't move excessively.

Can I use this helmet for mountain biking?

Yes, the Align II is suitable for general cycling, including recreational mountain biking. However, for more aggressive mountain biking, you may want a helmet specifically designed for that purpose.

How often should I replace my helmet?

Helmets should be replaced every 3-5 years, or immediately after an impact. Also, replace if there are visible signs of damage.

How do I clean my helmet?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can damage the helmet's structure.

What is the warranty on this helmet?

Specialized offers a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The length of the warranty varies by region. Check with the retailer for details.

Can I add a visor to this helmet?

The Align II does not come with a visor, and Specialized does not recommend adding one, as it could affect the helmet's performance.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose or unstable.

Adjust the Headset SX fit system using the dial at the back of the helmet and ensure the chin strap is properly fastened.

Ventilation feels insufficient.

Ensure that the vents are not blocked by hair or other obstructions. Consider using a helmet liner for colder conditions.

Difficulty adjusting the fit system.

Refer to the owner's manual for detailed instructions on adjusting the Headset SX fit system. Ensure the dial is turning freely.

Decals are peeling.

This is primarily a cosmetic issue and does not affect the safety performance. Contact Specialized for replacement options.
