Specialized SWorks Evade Road Helmet Satin Chameleon/Gloss Black

The Specialized SWorks Evade Road Helmet is lightweight & built for comfort.Helmets have long been plagued by an unspoken rule: Light weight, ventilation & aerodynamics - pick two there's your helmet. As you can tell by now though Specialized doesn't play by these rules - or really any for that matter. They'd rather turn standards on their head and create products that nobody ever dreamed of. And you needn't look any further than the new S-Works Evade helmet for proof of this. Straight up it's the fastest road helmet they've put out there. They've teamed up with MIPS researchers to introduce MIPS SL - a new ultra-light and supremely comfortable version of MIPS that's available exclusively on Specialized helmets. With MIPS SL they've essentially integrated MIPS technology within the helmet padding itself. MIPS SL's minimalist "watchband" attachment system provides 10 to 15 millimetres of rotation in every direction and offers the same brain protection benefits as other versions of MIPS while also ushering in a new level of comfort and weight savings. Beginning with the aerodynamic development they basically lived in their Win Tunnel to create the Evade. Having their own wind tunnel allows them to develop their products with aero at the forefront of the design rather than merely testing them there. With this, Specialized carefully analyzed every aspect of helmet performance in the Wind Tunnel and with real-world testing to ensure that they left no stone unturned in the quest for performance. This makes for a helmet that has countless testing hours and years of development and ultimately this adds up to the fastest road helmet Specialized ever tested. They not only took grams out of the drag but did it without sacrificing safety. In fact, Specialized 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 Wind 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, Specialzied's 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 they've added a new magnetic buckle to the mix that makes buckling with one hand a breeze.Specialized SWorks Evade Road Helmet FeaturesNew MIPS SL is the lightest, most ventilated MIPS protection to date and is exclusively available on Specialized helmets.Through extensive Wind Tunnel development, the Evade is the fastest road helmet they've tested.4th Dimension Cooling System with deep internal channels, large vents, and aligned exhaust ports make it the best combination of aerodynamics and ventilation.Patented Energy Optimized Multi-Density EPS construction helps to manage impact energy.Patented Aramid-Reinforced Skeleton provides internal EPS support to help manage impact energy.Ultra-light Mindset HairPort II micro-dial fit system with height adjustability for the perfect fit.Gutter Action brow pad design for increased comfort and sweat management.Thin, soft, and lightweight 4X DryLite webbing won’t stretch out with sweat or water.Tri-Fix web splitter for improved comfort and ease of strap adjustments.Instrap webbing system for ultra-light construction and security.The magnetic buckle is simple and secure.
