Always well-protected without sacrificing lightness—Specialized helmets are now available at Escapa. TheSpecialized SW Evade II Angi Mips Sagan Disruption Helmet brings tolife the bold racing style of 1970s rouleurs with the personality of Peter Sagan. It’s the ultimate expression of this disruptive cyclist and his style: unmistakably Peter. Without a doubt, the fastest road helmet on the market.
For a long time, helmets have been governed by an unwritten rule: Lightweight, ventilated, aerodynamic… Take two—that’s your helmet. And now you might say we don’t follow that rule… or any rule in that regard, for that matter. Instead, we’ve turned the standards on their head and created products no one could have ever imagined. To see for yourself, look no further than the new S-Works Evade.
Our new ANGI Crash Sensor also gives you and your loved ones more peace of mind than ever before—when used with our iOS or Android app, the sensor will detect any crash and send a text message to the Contacts you’ve specified in your phone. It also syncs with our app and STRAVA® to provide GPS-based activity tracking. We’ve partnered with researchers at MIPS to introduce MIPS SL, a new ultra-lightweight and extremely comfortable version of MIPS that’s available exclusively on Specialized helmets.
With MIPS SL, we’ve essentially integrated Mips technology into the helmet’s padding itself. Mips SL’s minimalist watchband-style retention system allows for 10 to 15 millimeters of rotation in all directions and offers the same brain protection benefits as other versions of Mips, while delivering a new level of comfort and lightness.
When it comes to aerodynamics, to create the Evade we basically moved into our wind tunnel. Having our own wind tunnel allows us to develop products by prioritizing aerodynamics during the design phase rather than simply testing them afterward. And not only have we shaved off grams of drag, but we’ve done so without sacrificing safety. In fact, we completely reimagined the design to incorporate our Energy Optimized Multi-Density EPS, optimizing the type of foam at various points. As for ventilation, the free flow of air throughout the helmet not only provides better cooling than ever before but also reduces aerodynamic drag. With this in mind, ventilation and aerodynamics were optimized together in the wind tunnel, creating the best combination of aerodynamics and ventilation ever conceived.
Next, we thoroughly analyzed the external vents and internal channels to ensure the helmet captures the maximum amount of air for extreme cooling. The result? The new Evade offers the same cooling as if you weren’t wearing a helmet at all, making it the most ventilated aerodynamic helmet on the market. Thanks to this work, the Evade saves you 50 seconds every 40 km compared to a traditional road helmet and approximately 6 seconds compared to the previous version of the Evade. This means you’ll not only enjoy the same cooling as if you weren’t wearing a helmet, but also the same speed.
When it comes to road racing helmets, none match this performance. Last but certainly not least, a fast helmet is useless without the right fit. Thus, the new S-Works Evade features all the characteristics you’d expect from a top-tier helmet, including our Mindset HairPort 2 adjustment system with micro-adjustments, our non-stretch strap system, and a new Gutter Action forehead pad
Equipped with the new lightweight, better-ventilated Mips SL, available exclusively from Specialized. The 4th Dimension ventilation system, with deep internal channels, large air intakes, and aligned exhaust ports, delivers the best combination of aerodynamics and ventilation.
The Energy Optimized Multi-Density EPS construction helps manage impact energy. The patented aramid-reinforced skeleton provides support to the internal EPS foam to help manage impact energy.

The Ultra-light Mindset fit system with HairPort II features a micro-dial for height adjustment to achieve a perfect fit. The Tri-Fix strap adjustment system is more comfortable, easier to use, and lighter. This helmet is ANGi-Ready, a fit system designed to facilitate integration with our ANGi crash sensor.
Our ANGi sensor, available as an accessory, offers you and your loved ones peace of mind like never before. When paired with our Specialized Ride app, the ANGi sensor will assess the forces acting on the helmet in the event of a crash and, if necessary, send a text message to your designated Contacts with your location.
