Specialized Dissident Troy Brosnan Signature Helmet

 
AFTER A COUPLE of years riding in Sam Hill’s shadow, baby faced Aussie youngster (and two-time junior world champ) Troy Brosnan has emerged as one of the top contenders on the DH circuit, beating his former teammate and challenging for World Cup glory. It’s no wonder then that Specialized have decided to release the young whippersnapper’s very own signature edition Dissident full-face helmet.

Other than its special paintjob, the helmet doesn’t differ from the standard Dissident. It weighs just 1,080g, thanks partly to its carbon matrix shell, and ticks off all the major safety standards and then some, along with being neck brace friendly and compatible with the EJECT safety system (available separately). Will it make you as fast as young Troy? Who knows. It’ll certainly help you stand out though.

PRICE: 469$
