The S-Works Prevail 3 helmet is perfect for riders who value the comfort & thermoregulation benefits that superior ventilation delivers. It is the ultimate all-around helmet that excels in hot conditions strenuous climbs & mountainous stages. With a never-ending quest to push the limits of ventilation we eliminated air-blocking foam “bridges” from the center effectively creating thru-air channels that increase the surface area of ventilation by 24.5% compared to the S-Works Prevail II Vent helmet. The all-new S-Works Prevail 3 has the most ventilation area of any helmet we have ever made. When a helmet is impacted its job is to dissipate the energy of the impact. The conventional approach to helmet design is that more foam (EPS) means better energy management. We re-wrote the book on cycling helmet design by innovating beyond foam. Woven aramid “cables” traverse the helmet & are anchored to carbon fiber side panels. Upon impact the Air Cage technology* works as a suspension bridge & is designed to distribute localized forces throughout the helmet. The Occipital Base Adjustment optimizes comfort by personalizing fit to individual head shape & helmet angle can be adjusted for compatibility with glasses. An adjustable Tri-Fix web system gives riders added comfort with updated thinner 10mm webbing that minimizes strap noise. & the ANGi-ready ultralight Mindset micro-dial fit system with height adjustability has been updated for enhanced grip & reaction for easy on-the-go fit. Our ultralight & supremely comfortable MIPS Node Air technology is integrated directly into the helmet padding with a sleek low friction layer designed to dissipate rotational forces. With Specialized’s proprietary development work we added perforations to maximize breathability performance comfort & weight savings. Air Cage innovation increases airflow. Precision full-wrap polycarbonate shell for increased durability & premium finish. MIPS Air Node technology is MIPS’ most ventilation-focused solution. Adjustable Tri-Fix web splitter boosts comfort through personalized fit. Occipital Base Adjustment optimizes comfort & compatibility with glasses. ANGi-ready Mindset fit system for enhanced grip & reaction for easy on-the-go fit.
