Specialized teams are ready for Le Tour, and in every stage starting with the Time Trial, teams will dip into their new quiver of S-Works helmets. The new lineup features a helmet for every condition and discipline. Each model in the S-Works helmet line receives an airflow and aerodynamic update. Get ready to meet the S-Works helmet quiver; Evade 3, Prevail 3, and TT5.When Specialized set out to update the Evade 2, the largest room for growth was the airflow.
The team worked the most on the new rear diffuser, taking inspiration from everything from Formula 1 cars to pieces in nature. The final version increased its ventilation by 10% while maintaining its top aero performance.The result is a helmet with a rear diffuser that helps minimize drag and larger vents to increase ventilation throughout. The team added MIPS Air Node padding to the Evade 3 to maximize all available airflow without adding bulk.
The S-Works TT5 helmet hopes to pull Specialized back to the front of the TT aero-sphere. With world-class athletes like Remco Evenepoel and Kasper Asgreen of Quick-StepAlpha Vinyl, they can get all the critical feedback needed to make a slippery design. The testing and prototype team logged countless hours in the Specialized Win-Tunnel. When the dust and wind settled and the data combed over, Specialized created the fastest TT helmet they ever made.
