Specialized S-Works Evade 3 helmet test | Henley 140Km fast ride
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- New helmet day! I bought a new Specialised S-Works Evade 3 road helmet, to add to my existing collection of MET Manta MIPS, MET Trenta MIPS, MET Trenta and MET Manta.
Perfect day out to test the helmet on a 140Km route from London to Henley on Thames with a strong group. I was on my VeloBuild VB-R-068 silver aero bike with the newly fitted wireless Wheeltop groupset.
Great to have fellow RUclipsr Max @thewattlife also joining the group, together with Tom@TheCyclingGuitarist

Thank you again for watching,

Honestly I think it looks great on you!
That's what I wanted to hear!!
Nothing like being greeted by friends like that! The excitement and maybe a touch of envy. Love It Federico!!
That was a genuine surprise!!
Hi Federico, It‘s a pleasure to follow your Videos. I like your kind of humor 😁 As a german its much easier to follow your channel in engl. Great Community 👍 🙋♂️
@@Carbonfuchs Thank you so much! Must be my strong London cockney accent 😂
Haha thanks for the shout out!! And also thanks for destroying me when you came to the front 🤪
I was faking indifference, hahaha
Hi Frederico , my current helmets are Ekoi which I love , but that S Works looks the part I may have a try of that 👍 and for the record I am 68 you are never too old for anything keep pedalling 👍
Thank you! I tried an Ekoi, but I found out that it was better for round shaped head, at least that model. But I love their designs
One solo red helmet in a sea of white - very nice.
I am also guilty of the white or black helmet with my other ones!
Haha .. the best! It is true, there are some beautiful helmets that make them irresistibles, good collection!
The helmet looks great and good colour choice
So many wear white and good to stand out from the crowd a little
5⭐️ safety rating too
At 57 the first words spoken in your video were my thoughts about myself. It looks great on you, I only wish I had the complexion for red, I'm going to have to settle for white.
What a great group, very upbeat and the location looks gorgeous.
All white looks great as well
Fed, the grass 😏😂. Helmet looks on point 👍🏻.
I have to say that helmet fits you great ! It looks very good on you! I’ve seen that helmet on other people and it doesn’t look good. However, you make that helmet look awesome.
Thank you, maybe because I have already a long matching speed sniffer nose 😂
@@fede1275 sl8 teaser ? 😂
Federico you are not "old school". I've just sold my, disc brake 2022 Giant TCR, to go back to my Colnago C60. Mine was a conscious decision to be, so to say, "old school" like you :)
No regrets, just pure joy to be back on what simply works (without the "S").
A Colnago with the signature is always a great choice!
Great video Fede I enjoyed that you’ll have to start making 30 minute videos 😂. As an older gent 57 years young ( soon to be 58 in September) I like to have the nice things too !!! I’m the owner of the S WORKS Evade 2 which I really love , it is quite a hot helmet to wear when we actually get some summer weather . You keep wearing what you want mate especially if it’s making you feel good 👍🏽. I’m not even half as fast as you but nothing wrong with looking fast !!!! Keep up the good work, keep riding fast and btw red suits you well sir 👍🏽💪🏾
You seem to be in a great shape Richie! I am always conscious of the video length, not sure if my blabbering could be accepted for as long as 30 min hahaha
Well done Federico. I see you past by your old friend “The Nutcracker” @1:35 😂😂😂. Always a pleasure watching your reviews.
Passa una belle giornata!
Tanti saluti.
@@leftywedge grazie mille!!
Love Red! thanks for another beautiful video!
I've using Evade-3 for a month, biggest difference than Evade-1 is crosswinds. It is much smoother and faster when the wind blows sides. Headwinds feels same as Evade-1
The helmet suits you very well! Color is 🔥
Your latest Marvel incarnation- “The Red Guardian!”😂👏
Nice. If it saves watts and looks that good. Great choice.
"sworks perfectly" - b'dum! Helmet looks great, but really glad you're enjoying electronic shifting. I think everyone who has tried it appreciates that "shifting just because" aspect. I resisted Di2 for a long time but I reckon once you've - ahem - shifted to it, there's no going back. (ETA: I should say, I haven't got stuck in a gear yet because I forgot to charge it. When that happens my enthusiasm may wane slightly)
Coming from mechanical I keep checking the battery status 😅
@@fede1275 BTW, Ferrari red was the right color choice!
Being a middle-aged (or slightly over mid age :) ) new cyclist myself, you are in inspiration for me. I guess a nice bike works better than a Porsche to get over the mid-age crisis as it makes you fitter and feel younger. I also have young and fast riders in my group rides and it feels great to be able to keep up with them.
Absolutely and there is always something to learn in the position, riding technique and so on. Always improving!
@@fede1275 Was watching this again today as I am looking for a new helmet. Do you still like it? How was it during the recent heat wave? I came off the bike today and hit my helmet to the tarmac. There is a small dent on it, may be it is ok to use but it is a good idea not to risk it just in case. The only thing which I am not sure about it the back part. It looks a bit long and out of proportion but lots of people says it looks good.
I really like the odd long shape, it's the distinctive feature. It's not the coolest helmet, but can still be used. If you want the most vented you might want POC, but I like the aero shape of the Evade.
Congrets! Looks really cool!
Can confirm the Fede Express is fast 🚂 Daje
Nice helmet! Here in Canada most helmets in the shops comply with the American CPSC standard and they are generally heavier and appear more mushroom-like (on me at least). My head is long as opposed to wide, so Euro-standard helmets like yours generally fit better. Btw, it looks like a really nice ride. My mum was from the Henley area and it was nice to see some familiar sites.❤
That is a great area, quintessentially English!
@@fede1275 like my dear Mum and Dad🥰
Brilliant content, fredrico helmet looks spot on. Did you upload the ride on strava?.
Of course, what is the point of the ride otherwise? 🤣
Nice helmet Federico,but then I'm biased I have the same one in white.....btw it suits you👍
Looks good on you, Fede. A little long for my rounder head, but suits you very well. In case I missed it in the video, is this the Medium?
Thank you, yes it's a medium
Looks good. I guess it is “SWorking” really well. 😂😂😂👍
@@CyclingMartin0731 😂😂
You look like 🏎️ Federrari in this helmet 🪖 😁👌🏻
The helmet looks great. The colour suits you. So far so good on the gruppo. Tell me, is the helmet as quiet as it looks?
Yes, very smooth and no much air turbulence
I also have the Trenta and the Manta, I think the magnetic clip is a gimmick and prefer the traditional clip on the Trenta. If I'm being picky, I'd say the magnetic clip feels bulky.
@@kpizzle1985 you are right, you feel it on some jersey with higher collar
when the guy mentioned he would share how to put power overlay and you added you don’t even have a power meter 🤣🤣
@@lenzirodrigo13 I think if I start measuring it would ruin the magic 😂
Ridesafe! 🚴🚴
You look very nice. Age is irrelevant. It’s what you enjoy. Life is too short to worry about negative comments. You are riding. ❤❤
@@bb-r5710 👍👍
I wouldn't wear it personally but it looks good on you. I have 2 POC helmets neither are particularly comfortable but they look good and are aero 😁
I found my POC Octal to be very light and ventilation was the best, but might be too wide to be aero. Not sure about the Ventral, but this also look wide. Definitely feel safer.
All I can see is your bald skull. I'd be careful with sun burns, your skull really looks exposed to the sun in there.
You make a good point with the narrow frontal area of the helmet, that's probably the main aero benefit, it's just narrow!
Yes, I usually put sun cream, but might need to top up! There was an aero test a while ago, where the Trenta proved really aero as it is also quite narrow, where the POC Ventral is wider and was deemed to be less efficient, even if the shape was designed to be aero. Exposed surface is very important I guess, same as wide and narrow tyres, but this is for another video!
Evade looks good. So does that HJC at 2:30
Federico, where did you buy the Doyenne handlebars from? Brian
I got them from Wiggle, before they went down
I was gonna buy the evade 3, but since specialized doesn't pay their workers in san Salvador, i can't.
@@GrouEEf just heard, hopefully it gets sorted
Excellent helmet if i may say so Fred has i have the same one but last years model the Evade ll...,looks splendid on ya 👊🏾👍🏾
Thank you!!
We need to get you a power meter so people can see how hard you pulled going into Henley
I think it will ruin the magic hahaha
I envy your cool rainy weather so much 🥲
+37 here, pls send some rain
Maybe an happy medium?
Didnt know you were so into fighter jets Fede
Aero is everything!
I would remove the S-Works shame logo ; )
I think this one fits "the bold and the beautiful" theme with the big logo
I’m sooo glad you didn’t get another white helmet like everyone else.
@@Lifesurfer001-iq7nf I already have 2 white ones 😂
Yes it .pretty fancy very Italian style Forza Ferrari.,🍺🚲🍺.
28 degrees Vancouver Canada .. 🍺
Now you need a bike from the same brand (with rim breaks) 😉
The silver Velobuild is as close I could get...
1:32 I remember your friend. Was it 2 years already?
No, just before April this year. Thankfully no injuries
Perfecto bello
Grazie!
What are the other helmets said?
I haven't told them yet, it's not going to be easy...
Red helmets need a red bike.
@@DanTuber would it be not too matchy matchy?
@@fede1275 That's the whole point. Go red or go home.
Bellissima helmet 🪖 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
