Prevail 3: https://www.newmoonski.com/product/spec ... 0599-1.htm

The rear looks a bit cheap imo / similar to a Poc Ventral.

The fact that it's "24.5%" more ventilated than even the Prevail 2 Vent is nice. But man the P2V looks so much better than this thing.
Cervelo P5 Disc (2021) 9.1kg
Factor Ostro Gravel (2023) 8.0kg
S-Works SL8 (2023) 6.3kg

*weights are race ready, size 58/L.

It is certainly not a thing of beauty.

Least they put the straps inboard this time though!

Was at my LBS yesterday and they didn't have any yet nor did they receive any information on when they get theirs 😔. I wanted to pick up an Evade and thankfully (to this forum) waited for the release of the new one. The II sits quite strange on my head, hope the III will sit better.
The magnetic strap being gone is a letdown tho...

So, uhm... where are all the nice colours?

There's only white, black and red available. But none of the nice colours (like the white/yellow or the blue version). And they are all mat - who wants a mat helmet? They are a annoying to clean.

I'd like these glossy colors:

The red one at least got some contrast with the SWorks logo, but the white and black one are... A little boring almost? Guess they want to sell those to whoever needs one asap and later they offer some fancy colors... So we buy another one.

Edit: bora features the new TT helmet already

That new Prevail needs to go on a diet!

Over 100g heavier than my old Previal II.

Think I am more than happy to stick with my current stable of original Prevail II, Evade and Prevail II vent for the forseeable!!

My Previal II is 190g (I have an original before they went MIPS).

https://cyclingtips.com/2022/06/special ... 3-helmets/

Specialized is offering the new S-Works Prevail 3 in seven colors and three sizes, and for a retail price of US$300 / AU$475 / £275 / €330. Actual weight for a medium-sized CPSC-approved sample is 297 g — 45 g heavier than the S-Works Prevail 2 Vent I reviewed earlier this year, although that was also a small instead of a medium.

Maybe heavier in Aus with different safety standards.

Kind of reminiscent of a trenta too.
Speaking of which. How's the ventilation on these? Since they're significantly cheaper 😅 I have an evade 2 and it's getting quite hot right now and I need an airy helmet
