Specialized has completely reworked the Propero 4 to create an aero road helmet that you'll actually want to wear.

Click to email a link to a friend Specialized has a new version of the Propero, but if you’re familiar with the previous versions, you might not even recognize it. Thanks to borrowed design language from the S-Works Evade 3 and Prevail 3, the new Propero 4 looks like an entirely different product – which is a good thing.

When it came time to design the new helmet, Specialized says they started with aerodynamics first. Starting with a battery of CFD tests and multiple helmet shapes, Specialized narrowed it down to two shapes and then took those to their in-house Win Tunnel. This wind tunnel testing with a male road race mannequin validated the Propero 4 as being 4 watts faster than the S-Works Prevail 3. That works out to it being 15 seconds faster over 40km with an average speed of 45kph.
