Specialized S-Works Evade 3 Helmet – MIPS Air Node – Black

 

S-Works Evade 3 – Designed by Air

In its third generation, Specialized’s flagship model in the peloton of aero road bike helmets features even better ventilation. With the goal of providing even more cooling, the S-Works Evade 3 was designed from the ground up with the help of countless computer simulations in computational fluid dynamics.

The result of extensive testing in the in-house wind tunnel is a new type of “diffuser” at the rear of the helmet which significantly reduces drag and noticeably improves ventilation. The higher air permeability improves the aerodynamic properties and increases the air exchange by up to 10 %.

 

Highlights of the Specialized S-Works Evade 3 road helmet

• larger openings at the front for higher air intake
• rear diffuser for unique aerodynamic properties and better ventilation
• for best ventilation with maximum safety
• ANGi-compatible for easy adjustment to the individual head shape
• with individual adjustment options for greater wearing comfort
• higher durability and high quality finish thanks to wrap-around shell made of precisely processed polycarbonate
• optimized EPS foam with double density

 

The ultra-light and extremely comfortable MIPS Air Node technology is integrated directly into the helmet padding. It consists of a smooth, low-friction layer that effectively dissipates rotational forces. Based on Specialized’s development work, MIPS has incorporated perforations in this layer that maximize breathability, performance, comfort and weight savings. That Specialized takes its responsibility to the rider seriously is also evidenced by the 5 stars in the prestigious Virginia Tech® Helmet Rating™.

Revised for ease of use while riding, the occipital base fit concept improves comfort by allowing you to match the helmet’s fit to your individual head shape. While the ultra-lightweight and ANGi-compatible Mindset system can also be adjusted in height for fine tuning, the adjustability of the helmet angle guarantees greater compatibility with a wide range of glasses models.

Thanks to individual adjustment options, the Tri-Fix strap system offers the rider additional comfort. The revised and thinner ribbon with a width of 10 mm also minimizes the noise usually caused by the strap.
