Ah the Australian sunset. The reds the pinks the oranges—it’s the perfect blend of peacefulness & fiery intensity. & for this year’s Tour Down Under we’ve brought these colors to life in a limited-edition collection featuring our lauded S-Works Prevail II.
Our new ANGi Crash Sensor gives you & your loved ones peace of mind like never before—when combined with our i OS or Android app the sensor will detect a crash & send a text message to specified contacts in your phone. It also syncs with our app & STRAVA to provide GPS-based activity tracking.
Weve teamed up with MIPS researchers to introduce MIPS SL—a new ultra-light & supremely comfortable version of MIPS thats available exclusively on Specialized helmets. With MIPS SL weve essentially integrated MIPS technology within the helmet padding itself. MIPS SLs minimalist watchband attachment system provides 10 to 15 millimeters of rotation in every direction & offers the same brain protection benefits as other versions of MIPS while also ushering in a new level of comfort & weight savings.
When we set out to improve the original S-Works Prevail we knew that we had our work cut out for us. How could we improve on the industry benchmark for fit ventilation & comfort? By listening to our riders—that’s how. Through this we realized that there were a few aspects of the original Prevail that needed to be changed with the biggest request being for a lower-sitting design.
We thought to ourselves thinking big shouldnt result in bigger helmets so with the Prevail II we set out to prove that big ideas can come in smaller packages. It all starts with our patented EPS construction that relies on multi-density foam thats paired with a robotically woven Aramid-reinforced skeleton. This comes with a reduction in the overall size creating a smaller profile that fits lower down on the head for a better fit & safety.
It also has deep internal channels that are aligned from front-to-rear so the air intake & exhaust are optimized for unparalleled cooling over the entire head. & in the Win Tunnel we found these new designs amounted to six seconds saved over 40km when compared to a standard road helmet. Another standout feature is the Gutter Action System that manages the flow of sweat keeping it away from your eyes & dripping it off of the pads over your temple.
In the end the S-Works Prevail II is the most complete lightweight race helmet weve ever made—perfect for hot mountainous rides & flat & windy sections alike.
