Specialized go 2D with new lid



From BIKEmagic: 'The 2D is the company's newest helmet, and boasts several significant developments in the pursuit of a safe, light and highly ventilated lid. The most notable feature is the very low weight. Specialized quotes a weight of 180g (6.3oz) for the small size, and all sizes are under 200g (7oz). That's a good 50g lighter than the existing Decibel helmet (now demoted to number two in the Specialized lid lineup). 50g doesn't sound like much, but think of it as 25% and you can see that it's pretty significant. Hold a 2D in one hand and a Decibel in the other and the Decibel feels like a bowling ball.' More

New sub-200g helmet from Specialized



New from Specialized is a sub-200g helmet that could well be the lightest roadie head bucket to hit the market. The 2D has a claimed weight of 185g and is said to be better ventilated than the Decibel helmet it replaces. It comes with dual density foam and the new Kevlar-reinforced InnerMatrix which allows for larger vents plus Specialized's new Pro Fit 360 retention system offering more secure attachment to the helmet body and lighter webbing.
