Specialized S-Works Prevail 3 Helmet (Sage)

 

The conventional approach to helmet design is that more foam (EPS) results in better energy distribution. To revolutionize impact energy management, Specialized innovated beyond the proper use of foam in the Prevail 3. The so-called Aircage construction features woven aramid "cables" running through the helmet, which are attached to the side panels of carbon fiber. The technology relies on the same operating principle as a suspension bridge in the event of an impact to distribute local forces throughout the helmet.
