As Specialized celebrates its 50th Anniversary and the innovation that has helped us inspire riders worldwide, we have our sights set on the next 50 years of innovation. The most aero road helmet in the peloton, the S-Works Evade 3 Forward 50 LTD, represents this commitment to continue pedaling the planet forward by innovating for riders. It all comes together in a stunning graphic.
Gold represents our 50th year and how our desire to improve lives through riding has not lost an ounce of luster. The pink calls back to our historic Team Stumpjumper and our commitment to racing with an irreverent, rebellious spirit. With only a limited supply worldwide, they represent the ultimate expression of the innovate or die attitude that has inspired Specialized for the last 50 years and continues to drive us into the future.
The S-Works Evade 3 was reinvented from the inside out to cool better, making it the fastest choice for more stages.Through extensive Computational Fluid Dynamics and Win Tunnel testing, we created a rear “diffuser” that helps minimize drag and improve ventilation. The diffuser helps optimize aero performance by allowing air to be released more easily and improves ventilation by drawing 10% more air through the helmet at a given speed.
The Occipital Base Adjustment optimizes comfort by personalizing fit to individual head shape, and the helmet angle can be adjusted for compatibility with glasses. An adjustable Tri-Fix web system gives riders added comfort with updated, thinner 10mm webbing that minimizes strap noise.
Our ultralight and supremely comfortable MIPS Node Air technology is integrated directly into the helmet padding, with a sleek, low friction layer designed to dissipate rotational forces. With Specialized’s proprietary development work, we added perforations to maximize breathability, performance, comfort, and weight savings.
