    Specialized ANGi Turns Helmets into Safety Beacons

    0
    By Jason Mitchell on November 28, 2018 Mountain Biking, News, Road Biking

    Riding without a helmet is… well… stupid. Riding without a MIPS (or similarly-equipped) helmet is also… well… not recommended. Now, Specialized is introducing ANGi, which is a crash-detection device that will automatically send for help if you crash and are unable to respond.

    All new 2019 Specialized helmets will be ANGi-ready with a few models coming ANGi-equipped out-of-the-box. The following models will come ANGI-equipped, while any others can be equipped by purchasing the ANGi unit separately ($50).

    • Ambush ($200) and Ambush Comp ($150)
    • Propero III ($130)
    • S-Works Prevail II ($250)
    • S-Works Dissident ($385)
    Specialized ANGi
    ANGi comes onboard a few models or separately.
    Specialized S-Works Prevail II ANGi
    The S-Works Prevail II is available with ANGi mounted to the retention system.
    Specialized Ambush ANGi
    The Ambush has the ANGi unit attached to the rear of the helmet.

    The ANGi unit works with the new Specialized Ride App to notify loved ones in case of an incident. Inside the ANGi device is an accelerometer and logic to detect movement indicative of a crash. After such incidents, the app will then present a timer, giving you time to say, “false alarm” or say nothing — meaning you need help. Your location is shared with your safety contacts and help can arrive.

    I’m guessing that a future integration with Strava will be forthcoming, but for now it requires Ride Premium, which is included for a year with purchase.

    A native of the Pacific Northwest, Jason quickly developed a love for the outdoors and a thing for mountains. That infatuation continues as he founded this site in 1999 -- sharing his love of road biking, mountain biking, trail running and skiing. That passion is channeled into every article or gear review he writes. Utah's Wasatch Mountains are his playground.
