Helmets have long been plagued by an unspoken rule: Light weight, ventilation, aerodynamics - pick two, there's your helmet.
Specialized not only took grams out of the drag, but they did it without sacrificing safety. In fact, they switched the construction to favour their Energy Optimized Multi-Density EPS that optimizes the foam type in different places.
As far as ventilation is concerned, free-flowing air through the helmet not only makes the helmet cooler than ever, but it also decreases aerodynamic drag. Going hand-in-hand with this, ventilation and aerodynamics were both optimized in the Win Tunnel together, making for the best combination of aerodynamics and ventilation out there. Now, the exterior vents and interior channels have been carefully considered to make sure that the helmet draws in the maximum amount of air through the helmet for extreme cooling. And the result? The new Evade is just as cool as a bare head with no helmet, making it the coolest aero helmet on the market today.
Through this work, the Evade saves 50 seconds over 40km versus a traditional road helmet and roughly six seconds over the prior iteration of Evade. This means that it's not only as cool as a bare head, but also as fast. For road race helmets, there’s nothing that can match this performance.
Last, but most certainly not least, a fast helmet is useless unless it fits correctly. With this in mind, the new S-Works Evade has all the features you'd expect from a top-level helmet, like the Mindset HairPort 2 fit system with micro-adjustments, a soft webbing that won't stretch out, and a new Gutter Action brow pad that manages sweat to keep it out of your eyes. And to top it off, Specialized has added a new magnetic buckle to the mix that makes buckling with one hand a breeze.
Note: Please measure your head circumference to get the right helmet size.
