Celebrating its 50th Anniversary, Specialized continues to pioneer innovation that inspires cyclists worldwide, looking ahead to the next 50 years. The S-Works Prevail 3 Forward 50 LTD, the ultimate all-around helmet, embodies this forward-thinking commitment, featuring a striking graphic design.
The gold accents commemorate Specialized's 50-year journey and their unwavering dedication to enhancing lives through cycling. The pink pays tribute to the iconic Team Stumpjumper, reflecting their irreverent, competitive spirit. With a limited global release, these helmets epitomise the "innovate or die" philosophy that has driven Specialized for five decades and continues to inspire future advancements.
The S-Works Prevail 3 helmet is ideal for riders who prioritise comfort and thermoregulation, excelling in hot conditions, tough climbs, and mountainous stages. To push the boundaries of ventilation, Specialized eliminated foam "bridges," creating through-air channels that increase ventilation surface area by 24.5% compared to the S-Works Prevail II Vent helmet. This results in the highest ventilation area of any helmet they have ever produced.
Traditional helmet design relies on more foam (EPS) for better energy management during impacts. Specialized has redefined this approach by incorporating AirCage technology. Woven aramid cables and carbon fibre side panels work like a suspension bridge to distribute impact forces throughout the helmet, enhancing safety without compromising ventilation.
Key features include the Occipital Base Adjustment for a personalised fit and compatibility with glasses, and an adjustable Tri-Fix web system with thinner 10mm webbing to reduce strap noise. The ultralight Mindset micro-dial fit system offers height adjustability, improved grip, and easy on-the-go adjustments.
Integrated MIPS Node Air technology provides a lightweight, breathable solution designed to dissipate rotational forces. Specialized's proprietary perforations maximize breathability, performance, comfort, and weight savings.
