S-Works Evade II Helmet

For a long time, helmets were defined by two of these three characteristics: lightness, ventilation, and aerodynamics. As you know, however, we don't play by these rules—or, in fact, we don't care. We prefer to change the standards and create products no one has yet imagined. For proof, just look at the S-Works Evade helmet. It's simply the fastest road helmet there is.
Together with the creators of MIPS, we created MIPS SL—a new, ultralight, and extremely comfortable version. MIPS SL essentially integrates MIPS technology into the helmet padding itself. The minimalist attachment system provides 10 to 15 mm of rotation in each direction, offering the same protective benefits as other MIPS systems, while also being very lightweight and comfortable.
For the aerodynamic development of the Evade, we essentially moved into the wind tunnel. Having it at our disposal allows us to start with the aerodynamics of the design, rather than testing it later. The helmet's performance was thoroughly analyzed in the wind tunnel, and then continued with road testing, leaving nothing to chance. The Evade was created thanks to countless hours of development and testing, and the result is the fastest road helmet we've ever tested.
Not only have we reduced drag, we've done so without compromising safety thanks to the new Energy Optimized Multi-Density EPS construction (differentiated densities for different zones). As for ventilation, the air flowing freely through the helmet makes it cooler than ever, as well as reducing drag. Aerodynamics and ventilation work hand in hand and were optimized together in the wind tunnel to find the best combination. The vents and internal channels were designed to draw the maximum amount of air through the helmet for perfect ventilation. The new Evade is cool, like riding without a helmet. The coolest aerodynamic helmet on the market.
Wearing the Evade will save you 50 seconds over a 40km distance compared to a traditional road helmet and about 6 seconds compared to the previous version. Simply put, it's cool and fast. There's nothing else like it on the road helmet market.
Last but certainly not least, a fast helmet is worthless without a perfect fit. The S-Works Evade has all the features you'd expect from a high-end helmet, like our Mindset HairPort 2 micro-adjustable fit system, soft, stretchable webbing, and a Gutter Action visor to keep sweat out of your eyes.
• The MIPS SL system is the most ventilated version, and is available only for Specialized helmets.
• Thanks to its development in the wind tunnel, the Evade is the fastest road helmet.
• 4th Dimension Cooling ventilation, with large air intakes, deep internal channels and aligned exhaust ports.
• Patented Energy Optimized Multi-Density EPS construction for perfect impact management.
• Internal Aramid structure: specifically constructed for impact management and weight reduction.
• Ultra-lightweight Mindset Hairport II vertical adjustment system with micro-dial for a perfect fit.
• Gutter Action forehead padding for comfort and sweat management.
• The thin, soft and lightweight 4X DryLite material the straps are made of won't fray from sweat or water.
• The sealing system is designed for the integration of an ANGi sensor.
• The ANGi sensor, available for purchase separately, gives you peace of mind—when paired with the Specialized Ride App, the sensor detects falls and sends a text message to selected contacts on your phone. The sensor syncs with the app and STRAVA® to provide GPS-based activity tracking.
