The S-Works Prevail 3 Helmet is perfect for riders who value comfort and the thermoregulatory benefits of superior ventilation. In a never-ending quest to push the limits of ventilation, we’ve eliminated the air-blocking foam “bridges” in the center, effectively creating air channels that increase the ventilation surface area by 24.5% compared to the helmet. S-Works Prevail II Vent. The new S-Works Prevail 3 has the largest ventilated surface area of any helmet we’ve ever made.

When a helmet receives an impact, its function is to dissipate the energy of the impact. The conventional approach to helmet design is that more foam (EPS) means better energy management. We rewrote the book on cycling helmet design by innovating beyond foam. Woven aramid “wires” run through the helmet and anchor to the carbon fiber side panels. In the event of an impact, AirCage* technology functions as a suspension bridge and is designed to distribute localized forces throughout the helmet. Occipital Base Adjustment optimizes comfort by customizing the fit to individual head shape and angle of the helmet can be adjusted to be compatible with glasses. The Tri-Fix adjustable strap system offers riders greater comfort with an updated, thinner 10mm strap that minimizes strap noise.

And the ultralight Mindset fit system with height adjustment has been updated to improve grip and responsiveness for easy on-the-fly adjustment. Our ultralight and 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 own development work, we’ve added perforations to maximize breathability, performance, comfort, and weight savings.
