I was recently in a collision with the S-works ll helmet. I was very lucky. I’m now buying the S-Works lll. I believe this helmet is very effective in what it’s designed to do. The mips really saved my head. The magnet strap held strong. I would definitely recommend this helmet for triathletes that train on public roads. Thanks for the video.
Oh yeah, my impact was enough to split the helmet in the back and broke one of the inside internal straps allowing the mips to do its job. After several cat scans and x-rays nothing broken. Minor concussion was all with 2 stitches above my chin below my lower lip and 2 stitches on the inside opposite of the outside, soar jaw, aches and pains at the shoulders and ribs. The magnet strap was still together. 😊
I have been in crashes with the mag strap, never felt like it would come apart without me intentionally unfastening it. Best feature of the helmet in my opinion.
I like the evade 2 better. The design of the evade 2 is very distinctive and more aggressive esp the horizontal vents on the forehead area. This evade 3 looks like other normal aero helmets. For its looks, no angi, no convenient magnetic strap, heavier, and more expensive, not an upgrade for me from my sworks evade 2 angi mips. Thanks for your early review very helpful to consumers!!
So the price has gone up, like everything else at the moment. But at the same time they also removed the ANGI that came as standard on the previous model. Unforgivable.
Yeah sure I'm gonna spend 300$ for 10% more ventilation and no wattsavings. And the ANGi Sensor doesn't even come with the helmet anymore?? The bike industry goes into the wrong direction the last few years
Prefer my Evade 2...won't be "upgrading" just yet. At last I can carry across my Angi if I do (which I am not allowed to do solo rides without...apparently).
another cool video in my opinnion the other models of helmets that you show on the video the prevail series are more cool and had more ventilation from what i can deduct
Can you make a video showing how to take the pads out? I have a Prevail II now and have never been able to get the brow pad out, have to just wash it with it still attached.
Are you european? I did some digging and found the european versions of the evade 3 are about 40 gramms lighter due to less strict laws... all-white M is labeled as 270g for EU and as 310g for US standards...
That's insane, $300 and they don't even have an integrated visor? The giro aerohead is more aero, has a visor that covers your ears, and half the price
Oh dear Evade 3, more like they Evaded progression. Cheaper buckle, more expensive, and heavier! More cumbersome looking from the back too. I say back to the drawing board with the rule not to cut corners on from the Evade 2 & improve not worsen it for the sake of cost cutting & Asian manufacturers. How dare they drop the magnetic buckle. Sigh..
why... the mag buckle whas awesome, i crasched in mine and it stayd on. i guess i can just move over the mag one to the new wen replacing it. The Evade whas the first helmet that i can wear without looking like a shroom XD
I had bought a different helmet on Amazon at the beginning of this summer for my big headed daughter to wear while bicycling and scootering. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0ipcYkXV-2YCp_cBN3HLfzR_OoD0HQYx Well it was WAY too big and not adjustable at all. Previously we had really expensive but adjustable helmets from the local bike store and I didn't really want to pay $50 again for another helmet. I searched and was fairly sure from the reviews that this helmet was what I was looking for- and it was! The pads inside are comfortable, the rim in front provides a bit of shade, but most of all for me there is the dial adjuster in the back which allows for a really secure fit on my daughters head. It seems like it will fit for a few years too which makes me even happier! She loves the pattern and I might end up buying another one for her twin sister (who has a much smaller head!)I definitely recommend this helmet. My daughter is 5 but has a big head. Her twin sister could fit in this one as well but it's a bit big.
To me the evade 2 looks more aggressive and aero, the new one almost like a POC or Oakley Aro 5 hahaha
POC helmets are ugly lol EF need a new helmet sponsor.
Thought the same - V3 looks more chunky and bulkier than V2.
Poc + lazer + kask = new evade.
I think it looks like oakley aro 5 also haha
The evade 2 looks better I have always liked the shape of the back. This just looks like other helmets
Evade 2 is still way better than Evade 3. They took off a few features and made it more expensive.
LOL! they took away the magnetic straps. Also no air flow scoop on top, so your back is gonna be sweaty af
I still use the original Evade which looks better IMO, however you can’t get replacement pads any longer.
Came here looking for this comment.
Agree…

thank you for watching!!
This looks like the evade 2 got stung by bees
I prefer the magnetic buckle, that’s like a step backwards. I think I’ll stick with my original Evade and Evade 2 for now.
Like the Evade better than the Prevail, but I'm happy with my Kask Utopia as far as looks, weight, and most importantly fit.
So the price has gone up, like everything else at the moment. But at the same time they also removed the ANGI that came as standard on the previous model. Unforgivable.
yea they removed the angi on alot of them and also removed magnetic strap, shit is crazy
*The Evade 2 is really better... very beautiful, aero, i want to buy the last quick step version but it's not for sale i'm disgusted...*
Get a decal or a custom wrap for it
Eh, the 2 looks way better and more Aero. Aesthetically as well.
Another excellent video! I like the team edition which will no doubt evade the shop floors it’s probably the only one I’d trade the 2 in for
Dude, you need to come up to speed on MIPS air node... if you haven't already. Big improvement over original MIPS.
yea not me, you gotta talk to specialized with it
No magnetic buckle is really to bad. I just crashed with my evade 2 hoping the 3 is just as good stopping sweat from running in my eyes.
Yea they did a good just for the pads for the evade 3. The magnetic buckle I will miss too
Yeah sure I'm gonna spend 300$ for 10% more ventilation and no wattsavings. And the ANGi Sensor doesn't even come with the helmet anymore?? The bike industry goes into the wrong direction the last few years
No magnet strap what the crap. I love my magnet strap on my Evade two.
Hey I need a new helmet liner for my Evade 2 GC can you hook me up?
I love the try on sections, I am so happy that you are making yourself laugh! Great overview!
I was gonna buy the evade 3, but since specialized doesn't pay their workers in san Salvador, i can't.
they ruined the evade
Prefer my Evade 2...won't be "upgrading" just yet. At last I can carry across my Angi if I do (which I am not allowed to do solo rides without...apparently).
lol. Gotta be safe. 🫣
buying the MET manta instead
another cool video in my opinnion the other models of helmets that you show on the video the prevail series are more cool and had more ventilation from what i can deduct
Personally I prefer the looks of the Evade 2, shame they ditched the magnetic clip too
i know I miss the magnetic clip too
Evade 3 is a major fail. Less vents, the padding is minimal and has zero sweat retention. The helmet sits higher on your head too which is strange.
evade 3 looks like the kask wasabi and the prevail 3 looks like oakley aro 3.
I guess what you call the "Team Edition" is not available to us mere mortals. It looks like they only offer the all-white
Can you make a video showing how to take the pads out? I have a Prevail II now and have never been able to get the brow pad out, have to just wash it with it still attached.
Just got the red one on order :)
is the teamedition color gloss white/black coming to stores also? Can't seem to find it online
yea I do not know why only stores go tthose right now but i think they are releaseing them son online
The size chart on specialized web says they have round fit, but I never found the actual products. Help us with big heads!
0:48 “mrgh!”
Is the evade 3 by any chance wider than the e2? I hate wearing the large one just because the mid is too narrow for me.
yes this one does feel more wide then the previous model to me, I always ride a medium but this one feels more roomy
Just found out where are all the gp5000 for sale 🙃
What the POC?
Evade 3 looks similar to one of the Limar aero helmets.
Just bought Oakley aro5 with MIPS for less than 1/2 this. Looks way better too.
yea there are stil great deals on helmets out there, even the prevail vent 2 and evade 2 they are like 25 percent off right now
My matte black Evade 3 in size M, anounces 270g, and the weight measured 273g. Is it because of the gloss colour, which might be heavier??
yes this is it
Are you european? I did some digging and found the european versions of the evade 3 are about 40 gramms lighter due to less strict laws... all-white M is labeled as 270g for EU and as 310g for US standards...
What an ugly new design! A big no for me, i' ll keep my evade 2 for sure.
it looks very similar to the evade 2
That's insane, $300 and they don't even have an integrated visor? The giro aerohead is more aero, has a visor that covers your ears, and half the price
people spend a thousand dollars to drop 300 grams off a bike but they dont think you could cut back on these heavy as sin helmets lol
hahhahaha I know right
sorry but in my opinion they don't look nice at all looks like the giro aero helmets
White straps will hide salt stains better.
Oh dear Evade 3, more like they Evaded progression. Cheaper buckle, more expensive, and heavier! More cumbersome looking from the back too. I say back to the drawing board with the rule not to cut corners on from the Evade 2 & improve not worsen it for the sake of cost cutting & Asian manufacturers. How dare they drop the magnetic buckle. Sigh..
Well said!
I don't like. It s more cool the old model
So medium is 314 grams. Anyone know what the large weighs?
Fancy 😜😜 I have a cheap one
why... the mag buckle whas awesome, i crasched in mine and it stayd on. i guess i can just move over the mag one to the new wen replacing it. The Evade whas the first helmet that i can wear without looking like a shroom XD
I know, honestly, it was one of my favorite features on the helmet
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

hahaha so ugly...the best one is the boba fett aero helmet for tt`s they are using for the tour :D
those helemts are fugging uglyyyyy
Heavier, took away magnetic strap, top vent, made it uglier and charged more. That’s a hard pass.
yea I was bummed by the removal of the magnetic strap
SHit. More flies and wasps in helmet! aaaaaaaaaaaa
I must get the Evade 3. It ranks very high on the Virginia Tech test. You only got 1 brain.
Porky. My HJC Furion 2.0 is 190 grams.
Aliexpress is better than all of this
fug no, I would not trust that with my head
ahhh the specialized shill channel.
Just work on actually producing bikes. Thanks, cyclists everywhere
holy shit that‘s heavy. My Giro Spherical Eclipse is „only“ 270, and that‘s already heavy for a helmet
IMO Giro Eclipse and Aether are way nicer than Evade and Prevail
