SPECIALIZED PREVAIL II

£175 Weight 247g Size L (59-63cm) Colours Eight to choose from Sizes S–L Just pipped for lightest helmet on test, the Prevail II looks like the zenith of preaero road design, with 34 vents and a polycarbonate shell that barely covers half of the external EPS core. Smoother looking than the original Prevail and lower profile thanks to an internal aramid skeleton, the emphasis is on aerodynamics and cooling. The Mindset Hairport II retention system ensures a snug, comfy fit, and five deep main internal channels provide direct passage of air from front to back, cooling superbly at any speed. Even the brow pad is suspended to evaporate sweat, making the Prevail II a helmet that’s perfect for all uses except time trials.
