The Details

2022 has brought about the latest iteration of the S-Works Prevail helmet, the best ventilated Specialized has ever created.

When Specialized set out to improve the original S-Works Prevail, they knew they had their work cut out for themselves. How do you improve on an industry benchmark for fit, ventilation, and comfort? Simple. By listening to Specialized riders. Through this, the designers at Specialized realised that a few aspects of the original needed to be changed, with the most significant request being for a lower-sitting design.

So add to this, a new micro-dial fit system with height adjustability for comfort, Specialized's 4th Dimension Cooling System to ensure you stay ventilated on the bike, and now MIPS and the much anticipated integrated ANGi crash sensor, and you have a helmet ready to take the road by storm.

Pushing the limits of ventilation, air-blocking foam "bridges" in the centre of the helmet have been removed, 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 on offer from Specialized.

The Prevail 3 also houses brand new AirCage technology, woven aramid cables traverse the helmet and are anchored to carbon fibre side panels. Upon impact, the AirCage technology works as a suspension bridge and is designed to distribute localized forces throughout the helmet.

  • Aircage innovation increases airflow
  • Precision, full-wrap polycarbonate shell for increased durability and 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 and compatibility with glasses
  • Angi-ready mindset fit system for improved grip and reaction for easy on-the-go fit

Our Verdict

The S-Works Prevail 3 helmet is perfect for riders who value the comfort and thermoregulation benefits that superior ventilation delivers.

Industry Reviews

Cycling-Weekly-Industry-Review

"Specialized’s latest update to the Evade and Prevail helmets has further improved what were already great lids. Although not knocking on the door of any of the lightest helmets, with their comfortable fit and considerable improvements to the ventilation, the Evade and Prevail have still proved hardly noticeable on hot rides."

"Stay cooler, stay protected, go faster… This is the winning trilogy of factors that form the updated Specialized S-WORKS helmets. Specialized have improved the Evade and Prevail road cycling helmets so that they have increased ventilation without sacrificing aerodynamic properties. By doing this, you will find that you are a lot cooler when out on the bike, making you faster and more comfortable over longer distances."
