SPECIALIZED PROPERO III Angi

The Specialized Propero III is kitted out with the ANGI (Angular and G-Force Indicator ) crash sensor.

 

This system when combined with our iOS or Android app, the sensor will detect a crash and send a text message to specified contacts in your phone. How does it work? The sensor has  an accelerometer and a gyroscope and is capable of identifying shocks in a fall. It transmits the information to an iOS and Android Specialized Ride app that sends a message if the cyclist is too badly hurt to stop it, sending a GPS point also. It also syncs with our app and STRAVA® to provide GPS-based activity tracking. With any Specialized Propero III ANGI purchase the Premium subscription is included for one year, thereafter the price is 29.99 euros.

 

The system does seem great, unstoppable, even essential, yet it also has a few limitations. Giving an alert is great, but in most cases the loved one is very far away and the time it takes for help to arrive, a lot can happen… Someone intervening on-site is obviously a better option. Also make sure that the CR 2032 sensor battery is fully charged (check that the green LED is lit before you leave). Then, your Smartphone also has to be charged and in a zone where there’s network coverage. Mountainous roads are unfortunately not always well connected to 4G…

If the network is weak the designers of ANGI have a stop-gap. You fix a time scale at the start of your trip. If you exceed it, ANGI sends a notification to your emergency contact, even if the network connection is ineffective it will be sent.

 

ANGI doesn’t interfere at all with the helmet, the additional weight is negligible. You can use it … or not. But this tiny object plays an undeniable role in safety when you are riding alone, it is the positive side of technology. This is an additional asset that adds to visibility on the road (lights, bright clothes), good bike maintenance (brakes, tires) and careful riding (anticipation, respect the rules of the road and the others users, etc.).

Sepcialized did not just design an ANGI holder, the brand offers a genuine helmet inspired by S-Works Prevail. This is an excellent model that sits firmly on your head, thanks to the rear that reaches very low on your neck. It weighs 300g which is fine, you don’t notice wearing the helmet once riding.

 

FiThe foam padding is thin but comfortable and there are no pressure points as long as you do not over-tighten the adjustment knob: the pressure on the back of the head can be strong.

The Specialized Propero III ANGI ventilation is excellent, a great asset for summer excursions. You can clip on a mini-visor. Dripping sweat doesn’t intrude on vision.

 

The straps don’t cause any friction, they stay in place and you can adjust them with one hand. The excess strap at the chin is held against the neck with a small ring.

The helmet is kitted out with MIPS technology that is used in most road and MTB helmets.

The Specialized Propero III ANGI is an excellent road cycling helmet, very enveloping and well-ventilated. The ANGI warning system is a plus in terms of security.
