The S-Works Prevail 3 is perfect for riders who value the comfort and temperature regulation benefits of a superior ventilation system. It is the ultimate all-round helmet that excels in hot conditions, strenuous climbs and mountain stages.

In our constant quest to further improve the ventilation of our helmets, we have removed the airflow-blocking foam bridges in the center of the helmet, creating air channels that increase the ventilation area by 24.5% compared to the S-Works Prevail II Vent. The all-new S-Works Prevail 3 has the largest ventilation area of any helmet we've ever made.

In the event of an impact, a helmet's job is to dissipate the energy of the impact. The traditional approach to helmet design is that more foam (EPS) leads to better energy management. We rewrote the book of bike helmet design by innovating beyond the foam. Woven aramid "cables" run through the helmet and are attached to carbon fiber side panels. In the event of an impact, the AirCage technology works on the same principle as suspension bridges, distributing local forces throughout the helmet.

The occipital base adjustment system optimizes comfort by allowing the fit of the helmet to be tailored to the individual head shape. In addition, the helmet angle can be changed for better compatibility with different goggles. The Tri-Fix strap system offers riders additional comfort through individual adjustment options, a revised, thinner strap with a width of 10 mm minimizes strap noise. The ANGi-compatible, ultra-light Mindset fine-tuning system can also be adjusted in height, and has been redesigned for better grip and easier handling while riding.

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 into this layer to maximize breathability, performance, comfort and weight savings.
