Ambush Comp

Delivery Icon

We deliver! Just say when and how.

When ripping down the trail, the last thing you need to worry about is if your helmet will protect you in a crash. Then again, you don't want to be stuck wearing a full-face on every trail ride. This is why we created the Ambush Comp—a lightweight, extended coverage helmet at a wallet-friendly price.

Starting with protection, the Ambush Comp boasts a significant amount of extended coverage and a single density foam that's been reinforced by a Composite Matrix. The reason behind this is that it manages the energy from impacts more effectively. Even with the added protection, though, it fits comfortably with our low profile and fully integrated Mindset 360 fit system. And with its five height positions, this system provides unmatched adjustment, while an integrated dial allows for on-the-fly fine-tuning. The Ambush Comp also keeps you cool with our 4th Dimension Cooling System's massive vents and exhaust ports, so you don't have to worry about overheating—even on the hottest days.

Finally, we included a micro-indexing visor that quickly adjusts positions and has plenty of room for goggle storage. Combined, these features put the Ambush Comp well in front of the competition.

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.

Great Helmet

This is a great fitting MTB helmet. It stays snug and was very comfortable on all-day bike packing rides. I rode with it in fall weather when it was a bit cooler, but it seems the ventilation is very good as well.

Big Fan of the Ambush Comp!

I’m a big fan of the Ambush Comp! My old helmet (an Ambush) was aged and was showing its wear. For safety purposes, I knew it was time to replace it. The Ambush Comp has a great fit and easy closure. It’s highly adjustable and well ventilated. The adjustments are easy and sturdy.

Comfy but not lasting

I bought this helmet on 5/2022 so it is almost a year old. I have never had to test it (thank god) but today the two plastic rods that go into the dial broke while I was tightening the helmet as I always release the tension when I take it off. I was very disappointed since I have always believed that Specialized is a great brand. I have the Stumpy Comp carbon 2023. The fit was perfect for me but the shell did look a bit oversized but for me comfort is more important. Comfort is 5 stars. I had to buy a Giro because I was about to start a group ride. Very disappointed 😔

A little disappointed.

A bit disappointed with this helmet. The helmet itself is good, but the inner doesn't tighten enough despite the helmet being for even smaller heads than mine. Also the straps that go round the back of the head are not adjustable, and they are too long, so are loose when I wear the helmet, which makes you wonder what the point of them is. I had to replace my old Specialized helmet due to an accident, it had better features, such as the dial on the back which was much easier to use. I'm a bit disappointed as it's a $150 helmet.
