I didn’t even know this was an option. How were you doing this in the past? Are you in the US?
I am in the US. On the US site in the fit chart, it shows both Regular and Round headforms Image

@Cat4forlife I guess people from the US don't have different headshapes? :? What a ridiculous move if that's the case
Agreed. From a company that seems to love taking peoples' money, seems like an odd decision. I'd love an Evade but I have a round head so I went with a different brand. Couldn't get the Evade II to work. Lazer it is.

I guess those are the already leaked colors we saw prior to the release. My LBS will get the Team Version in August, so I will probably wait.
They also offer the team versions now on their website :O

Can anyone attest to whether the Evade III fits like the Evade II in size medium? The hopeful side of me wants to know if it fits a liiiiittle wider and will save me hunting down a round fit version or more realistically sizing up to a large.

On a side note, what's the usual release cycle of Propero vs Prevail, i.e. can we expect a new Propero soon?

Both the Evade 3 and Prevail 3 sit shallower on the head than their predecessors.

That white/black Prevail III looks incredible IMO.

The new prevail is pretty nice, unsure on the evade though...

Haha. Yeah, look up some random speculative post like mine.🙂

If one has a big heavy head, that could be a good excuse as well.🙂 Plus a 390g XXX Wavecell. That would be a struggle.

But seriously. I hope manufacturers can manage to still have good protection in a way that doesn't keep raising the weight of helmets.

The pricing on these is ridiculous in the UK.

Just get a Prevail II vent on offer and save £110.

I haven't bought a helmet in a long time. But these prices are making my eyes water.

Did something happen with the new TT helmet? Don't think I saw anybody wearing it for the Tour TT. Maybe not as great as they made it sound?
