Shark Helmets

Everyday helmets for every rider with a racing pedigree from Shark

With over 25 years of experience in the production of motorcycle helmets, it's no wonder that Shark is rapidly becoming one the world's most dominant biking brands. Now trading in more than 45 countries, Shark employs over 600 people and continues to operate from its headquarters in Marseille, France. Their desire to push technical boundaries in order to create innovative products still remains today, despite this colossal level of expansion. Shark has always believed in perfecting their products using the ultimate testers available, motorcycle racers from the world's most prestigious championships. With names such as Carl Fogarty, Randy De Puniet and Scott Redding on the testers list, it's easy to see why Shark helmets are becoming the default brand of choice for many bikers today. This development through racing has led Shark not only to focus on comfort and innovation, but ultimately to focus on safety. The entire range of Shark helmets is, and always has been, built to exceed current industry standards in safety and it's this desire to over deliver that has led them to perform so well in the government's Sharp tests. All current full face models of Shark helmet have achieved either a 4 or 5 star rating from Sharp's Independent testing and Shark continue to strive for better. Whether it's a top spec race replica helmet or an urban styled open face you're looking for, Shark has it covered!

Verified Customer Reviews for Shark Helmets

An Exceptional Helmet and First-Class Customer Ser
Shark Spartan GT Pro Carbon - Gloss Black Shark Spartan GT Pro Carbon - Gloss Black
11 July 2025 by James
I recently purchased the Shark Spartan GT Pro Carbon – Gloss Black motorcycle helmet from Sports Bike Shop, and I can honestly say it has been one of the best online shopping experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I began looking into the product, right through to receiving and trying it on, the level of service and quality has been absolutely exceptional.

What really stood out straight away was the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. I had a few questions about the fit and features of the helmet, so I gave their customer service team a call. The person I spoke with was incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure I had all the information I needed. They took the time to explain the differences between models, helped me with the sizing chart, and even gave practical advice based on rider experience and helmet fitment. It was clear they weren’t just there to make a sale – they genuinely wanted me to be happy and safe with my purchase. That kind of honest, supportive customer care is rare these days and truly appreciated.

When the helmet arrived, it exceeded my expectations. The Shark Spartan GT Pro Carbon is absolutely stunning in the gloss black finish – it has a sleek, aggressive look that feels premium and purposeful. The carbon construction makes it surprisingly lightweight without compromising on protection or structure. The build quality is flawless, with every detail feeling thoughtfully engineered. You can really tell this is a high-spec lid designed for serious riders.

As soon as I put the helmet on, I could feel the difference. The fit was perfect – snug but not tight, and incredibly comfortable around the head and neck. The internal lining feels soft and plush, while still providing firm support. After wearing it for a few longer rides, I’ve had zero discomfort or pressure points, which is rare for a new helmet. The visor system is fantastic – smooth to operate, seals tight with no rattling, and the wide field of vision really boosts confidence while on the road. The integrated sun visor is also a brilliant touch and very easy to use even with gloves on.

Ventilation is another area where this helmet shines. The airflow is excellent, keeping the head cool and fresh even during warmer rides. It’s quiet too – aerodynamically sound and with very little wind noise, which makes a huge difference on long journeys. Overall, it’s clear that the Shark Spartan GT Pro Carbon is not just about looks – it delivers performance, comfort, and safety in equal measure.

To sum up, I am absolutely delighted with both the helmet and the service I received from Sports Bike Shop. They’ve earned my trust, and I won’t hesitate to use them again in the future. Whether you’re a new rider or an experienced motorcyclist looking to upgrade, I would highly recommend both this helmet and this retailer. In a world where online purchases can sometimes feel impersonal, Sports Bike Shop provided a refreshingly human, helpful, and professional experience that genuinely made a difference.

Nice Helmet

It’s really lightweight which releases some pressure off your neck and will help if your into track days. It feels very robust and doesn’t have a cheap feel to it.
There is one thing I don’t like about it… and that’s the visor. Unlike other helmets I’ve owned, this one has to be released and opened by the using a button located in the centre on the mouth vent. It’s just not a smooth operation, especially if you wear glasses and they start to fog, you can’t get it open quick enough. You have to try and press the button while trying to open the visor at the same time. It’s dangerous in my opinion.

On the other hand, the one thing I love about it, is how quiet it is.

I like the fit of Shark helmets and this is my 3rd. Great wide visor, quality interior and great fit. Nice and light and works well across both bikes I have. Only thing I don’t like is where shark place their operation for the internal sun visor

This is the only brand that fits me properly and is a big improvement on the previous flip. That said the ventilation is poor especially at the top of the helmet which is a major negative
