Specialized celebrates its 50th anniversary and the innovation that has helped inspire cyclists around the world. The all-round road racing helmet, the S-Works Prevail 3, LTD Forward 50 edition, represents this commitment to continue improving. Extraordinaryness is enhanced with exceptional graphics. The gold represents the fiftieth anniversary and how our desire to improve life by cycling has never lost its luster. Pink recalls the historic Team Stumpjumper and the commitment to racing with an irreverent and rebellious spirit. They represent the ultimate expression of Innovate or Die that has inspired Specialized for the last 50 years and continues into the future.
The S-Works Prevail 3 helmet is perfect for cyclists who appreciate the comfort and thermoregulation characteristics offered by superior ventilation. It is the ultimate multi-use helmet that excels in hot conditions, strenuous climbs and mountain stages.
In a never-ending quest to find the limits of ventilation, the central 'jumpers' from the foam material have been eliminated, which block air from the center, effectively creating 'channels' that increase the ventilation surface area by 24.5% compared to ' S-Works Prevail II Vent. The all-new S-Works Prevail 3 has the largest ventilation zone of any helmet Specialized has ever made.
When a helmet suffers an impact, its job is to dissipate the energy generated. The conventional approach is that more foam (EPS) means better energy management. Specialized has gone further. Aramid cables run through the helmet and are anchored to the carbon fiber side panels. Upon impact, AirCage technology functions like a suspension bridge and is designed to distribute localized forces throughout the helmet.
Occipital adjustment allows for a custom fit, and the helmet angle can also be managed for goggle compatibility. The TriFix system now has thinner straps to avoid any irritation. The Mindset holding system with micro register is very light and has an even better grip for on-the-fly adjustments while pedaling.
MIPS Node Air technology is integrated into the padding with a thin layer designed to dissipate rotational forces. Perforations have been added to further improve comfort and performance.
- The new AirCage improves airflow.
- Fully enveloping polycarbonate shell for greater durability and a premium finish.
- MIPS Air Node is the most ventilation-oriented MIPS solution.
- The adjustable Tri-Fix increases comfort thanks to the personalized fit.
- The occipital base adjustment optimizes comfort and compatibility with glasses.
