Specialized S-Works Evade 3 Helmet

The Specialized S-Works Evade 3 represents the evolution of the peloton's most aerodynamic road helmet, now engineered to breathe significantly better while maintaining its speed advantage. Reinvented from the inside out, the Evade 3 proves that superior cooling and uncompromising aerodynamics aren't competing priorities—they're complementary performance characteristics that make this helmet the fastest choice for more stages, more conditions, and more riders.

Through extensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Wind Tunnel testing, Specialized developed a breakthrough rear diffuser design that simultaneously minimizes drag and improves ventilation. This innovative aerodynamic element optimizes airflow release, allowing air to exit more efficiently while drawing 10% more air through the helmet at any given speed compared to the previous generation. Enlarged front intake vents work in concert with internal channeling and the rear diffuser to create a complete ventilation system that keeps riders cooler without sacrificing the aerodynamic performance that defines the Evade lineage.

The helmet integrates Specialized's ultralight MIPS Air Node technology directly into the padding system, MIPS' most ventilation-focused solution. This sleek, low-friction layer dissipates rotational forces for enhanced safety while featuring proprietary perforations that maximize breathability, performance, comfort, and weight savings. The integration ensures protection doesn't compromise the cooling and comfort riders demand during extended efforts in variable conditions.

Fit refinement receives equal attention to aerodynamics and safety. The Occipital Base Adjustment system personalizes fit to individual head shapes, while helmet angle adjustability ensures compatibility with eyewear without pressure points or positioning compromises. The adjustable Tri-Fix web system delivers personalized comfort through updated, thinner 10mm webbing that minimizes both pressure and the distracting strap noise common with traditional systems. A precision full-wrap polycarbonate shell provides increased durability and a premium finish, while dual-density optimized EPS foam ensures consistent protection and comfort.

Sunglass storage adds practical convenience for riders transitioning between sunny and shaded sections or stowing eyewear during climbs.
