New for 2014, Specialized introduces a $150 Dissident Comp full face helmet. The new Comp helmet is a little bit heavier than the Dissident but it has the same features as its big brother in a more affordable price tag.

For 2014, the Dissident remains the same but a new Dissident Comp is available for 2014.
