The S-Works Prevail 3 is perfect for cyclists who appreciate the comfort and thermoregulation features offered by superior ventilation. It is the ultimate helmet for a variety of uses that excels in hot conditions, strenuous climbs and mountain stages.
With an endless search to find the limits of ventilation, we have eliminated the central 'jumpers' from the foam material, which block air from the center, effectively creating "channels" That increase the ventilation surface by 24.5% compared to the S-Works Prevail II Vent. The all-new S-Works Prevail 3 has the widest ventilation area of any helmet we’ve ever made.
When a helmet is hit, its job is to dissipate the energy generated. The conventional approach is that more foam (EPS) means better energy management. We rewrote the book on designing cycling helmets going beyond foam. Aramid cables run through the helmet and are anchored to the carbon fiber side panels. On impact, AirCage* technology works like a suspension bridge and is designed to distribute localized forces throughout the helmet.
The occipital adjustment allows a personalized fit, and even the angle of the helmet can be managed for compatibility with glasses. The TriFix system now has thinner straps to avoid any irritation. The Mindset holding system with micro register is very light has an even better grip for a adjustment on the fly while pedalling.
MIPS Node Air technology is integrated into the padding with a thin layer designed to dissipate rotational forces. Perforations have been added to further improve comfort and performance.
The new AirCage improves airflow.
Fully enveloping polycarbonate shell for durability and premium finish.
MIPS Air Node is the most ventilation-oriented MIPS solution.
The adjustable Tri-Fix increases comfort thanks to the custom fit.
The adjustment of the occipital base optimises comfort and compatibility with glasses.
