Product Details

Add Icon

Be so bold in the all-new Ambush 2. Fully redesigned from the buckle up with essential features for next-gen trail riding, the Ambush 2 channels ample ventilation through modern styling, with a superb fit and dialed eyewear integration.

For helmets sold in the U.S. and Canada: Complies with U.S. CPSC Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets for Persons Age 5 and Older.

  • Sized to drop in with a highly customizable fit and precision adjustment. The Ambush 2 features our SBC Integrated Fit system and adjustable Tri-Fix splitters to provide a dialed fit.

  • Fine-tune your vision using the Ambush 2’s Occipital Base Adjustment to precisely adjust how the helmet sits on the brow for seamless integration with goggles and glasses for an unrestricted view down the trail.

  • Innovative sunglasses storage with hidden rubber flaps maintains a secure, rattle-free fit, keeping your glasses safely stored when you need to get them out of the way during long climbs or moments of rest.

  • Computational Fluid Dynamic design integrates the maximum volume of internal channeling for optimal airflow through the helmet, drawing heat away from the head. 4D brow cooling, which provides a gap between the helmet and forehead, draws airflow into internal air channels at every speed.

  • Integrated fixed visor with a breakaway feature provides increased trail vision and a seamless interface with eyewear while effectively channeling airflow through the helmet for superb ventilation.

  • Strategically optimized dual-density EPS foam eliminates bulk and reduces excess weight.

  • The Ambush 2 earned the highest 5-Star Virginia Tech® Helmet Rating™ from the internationally renowned Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

  • Features the MIPS SL solution with our exclusive perforated backing. Integrating MIPS technology within the helmet padding reduces moisture retention while increasing breathability.

  • Average weight: 360 grams (medium).

Great overall helmet

Got it on sale for a really good price. Lightweight and the most comfortable fitting helmet I've owned. When going on the trail, you can place your trust in this helmet with the MIPS system built into the helmet.

Great Fit, Visor provides no value

Great fit, light weight but heavier than the previous version. But what the heck did they do with the visor? Its fixed, to short and pretty much cosmetic. Bring back the older Ambush or create an Ambush 3 with a adjustable visor.

Ambush 2 - Excellent helmet, but really dislike the visor

First of all I love specialized products and am brand loyal. The Ambush 2 fits well and I'm sure in an event of a crash would be super protective. However I really don't like the visor. It looks goofy, it large and sits high up on the helmet, not adjustable and provides zero protection against the sun. I thought overtime I might be able to accept the visor issue, but I'm looking for a new MTB helmet as I really don't like the style of this helmet.

Best Half-shell I've Owned

I've tried a variety of top brand helmets, TLD, POC, Leatt and Bell to name a few. The Specialized Ambush 2 helmet stands out as a top-tier choice for me due to its exceptional fit, unparalleled comfort and a customized feel. Its extended coverage offers comprehensive protection without compromising on weight. The eyewear integration is a standout feature that I've come to expect on all helmets now. Specialized has successfully combined comfort, coverage, and innovation in the Ambush 2, making it a game-changer for those seeking a reliable and comfortable helmet.

Very narrow, useless visor

I ordered the same size as my road helmet, I sit comfortably around the middle of M size. While the helmet sits alright on the front-back axis, the hard sides push against my head. After tightening it's uncomfortable. It's also pretty hard to put any beanie or other thin hat under it. The visor is outside of my field of view entirely. It's purely a decoration.

Poor design

This is the worst design. The visor is not functional, is not adjustable, does nothing for blocking the sun and the visor makes it impractical to ride in the sun. I am in the middle of a twenty five mile ride and I stopped to write this review. I bought the Ambush II because I had great luck with my Ambush I. If I had not crashed I would not have bought a new helmet. I will be giving this helmet away and buying another more functional helmet. Truly unfortunate, I genuinely have liked my Specialized purchases. Did anyone ride with this helmet before final production started.

¡Increíble, resistente, dinámico y con un gran estilo!

Su incorporación al casco del sistema MIPS es un gran detalle, aligera la carga, que de por sí ya era casi imperceptible. Su doble densidad de espuma da comfort y resistencia. No puedo dejar de resaltar su incorporación de la regulación de la oreja, para todos los "dumbos" como yo comprenderé. Cubre toda la cabeza y su ajuste es dinámico y completo. ¡Su estilo es tan cool!

Comfortable, but inexplicable design and lack of replacement parts kill it.

Having owned an Ambush 2 for 10 months now I will say the following, 1. It is comfortable. 2. The visor is USELESS! It blocks neither sun nor rain. It constantly gets in the way and because of it's design, seems to hit every single low hung branch and leaf, which will eventually lead to damage. 3. Specialised only carries replacement visors in Black. No other colours. So WHEN you break one, and you will...good luck getting a replacement. Best of all, Specialized doesn’t care. They will just direct you to the spares website and politely say, thanks for the £150, now go away. (I'm being nice. The email from them seemed far less so).

Muy bueno.

El casco es excelente, liviano, cómodo, fresco y con gran estética. Honestamente me preocupaba que al ser fija la visera y al estar tan alta (entiendo que es para dar lugar a las gafas cuando no se están usando) no protegiera bien del sol, pero no es el caso. No le doy 5 estrellas por que por el precio debería tener un mejor sistema de hebillas, no las típicas hebillas plásticas que tienen los cascos de gama baja, fuera de eso, me encantó y quede muy satisfecho con la compra.

Sensaciones del casco

Este es mi primer casco specialized! Tras 5 meses de uso puedo decir que supero mis expectativas. Aun estoy probando sobre que número de posición de altura lo siento mejor o cómodo (lo he llevado con el nivel 3 y 4). Siento que tras una larga rodada, tengo que ajustar de nuevo el dial algunos giros, no se porque siento que pierde esa regulación. De resto es perfecto. Me gusta mucho como puedo integrar las gafas sobre los orificios del frente.

My previous two helmets were Ambush and I have been very happy with them. Especially the ventilation and the adjustable visor for riding into the Sun late in the day. The fixed visor is a deal breaker for me.

The visor baffles me

I don't get the placement of the visor on this helmet. I actually use my visor to help block the sun when riding into it. This visor is fixed in place and sits way too high. If I tilt my head to use it to actually block the sun, I'm practically looking straight down. The sunglasses holder is a nice feature.

Nearly perfect

Light, great ventilation, safe, comfortable. My only complaint is I wish it had a sweat collecting tab so I could control when and where it drips. Specialized does a great job with gear and this is no exception. The sunglass holder is brilliant. Note this runs large. I wear a L or L/XL but in this I almost could have gotten a medium. Went with the L but it's snugged all the way down when I'm not running a headband/head warmer.

Simply awesome!

I’ve tried many different helmets over the years & they usually give me headaches after a few hours of riding. The solution was to loosen my helmet if I wanted to go for long rides. As you can see, not the ideal situation… But I have recently received the new ambush & I must say I’m extremely happy, the helmet is light, comfortable, looks good & on top of it all, NO MORE HEADACHES! The way the helmet is made gives you plenty of protection in the back, I really like that & the new ajustement system is simply amazing. Overall best helmet I’ve ever had! Great job guys

Great fit and very comfortable. The only complaint I have is that I bought this particular helmet because I wanted to pair it with the Angi system, and it is not very clear where to install the Angi sensor. There is a spot on the plastic piece inside the helmet, but the instructions say it needs to be on a hard flat spot at midline. So, that’s unclear but otherwise great helmet.

I’ve been a ambush fan for a long time the original has been my favorite helmet I just got the ambush 2 and I’ve worn it on 3 rides now.

Not sure why they decided to go with a sunglass holder rather than a adjustable visor.

The visor

I have been wearing the ambush for a number of years now and it is my all time favorite helmet. So I got the ambush 2 this week and got 3 rides wearing it. The fit and comfort is great but not able to adjust the visor up and down is just plain dumb. Who cares about putting your glasses on your helmet we are not roadies for what this helmet is intended for some or most would be wearing goggles anyways.
