Shark S900 Dual Special Edition - Matt Black
Full face helmet with Pinlock visor insert included and drop down sun visor
DetailsVerified Customer Reviews for Shark S900 Dual Special Edition
Very excellent quality for the price, the drop down sun visor is a very useful feature and it even came with an anti fog sticker which works brilliantly. Definitely recommend this helmet for anyone getting into bikes. It also has great visibility and is a good fit.
I was looking for a helmet that had Pinlock and built-in sun visor- this was the cheapest lid with both, but it's also extremely comfortable so it's a win-win! I wear glasses and the helmet is comfortable with them on too.
This is my first helmet with quick-release chin strap, and so far it seems to be pretty effective.
All in all, a comfortable, well-equipped lid at a great price.
I have had Shark helmets before but for the price this one can not be beaten. The last few years I have worn Arai top of the range but I have decided to give Shark 900 a go. What I like about it, quick release ratchet strap, drop down sun shade, anti fog visor, quick release visor and removeable inner. I do not know how loud it is because not worn it yet but I wear custom made ear plugs anyway. All in all cracking helmet
The helmet is the second I have had as first one after daily use all year for four years was still ok, but dropped it a few times and visor and pin lock needed replacing. It does everything as described and chose a quick release strap as I ride in winter so old cold fingers struggle with a d ring strap. Only one thing I would say the helmet is a bit louder than helmets double its price but only at high speed. Apart from that great helmet
So far very comfortable sizing was perfect for myself likening the fact I can remove and clean the padding inside when I require visor removal so easy for cleaning to
And comes with the flip down sunglasses when required couldn't as for more very well priced
Good helmet, nice features whilst not heavy.
It is tight around my cheeks but hopefully this will ease, could have some clarity on the vent switches to indicate open or closed but no big issue.
I like this helmet, it fits well and includes airflow ducts, an under chin draft excluder, drop down sun visor and it is pinlock ready. I removed the nose piece to improve instrument visibility. Unfortunately the sun visor fouls my glasses which are difficult to put on with this helmet.
After years of riding bikes, I have purchased this as a spare, I prefer it over my everyday helmet. It's so comfortable and quiet. Will get another soon!
I bought this helmet for my pillion passenger. It looks much better than anticipated, very good quality. Very similar to my £400 Shoei...
Two downsides: (a) it is acredited to ECE 22.05 standard rather than the newer EXE 22.06., (b) The 5 year warranty cannot be registred with Shark, as the helmet doesn't appear on the registration website.
Really well specced helmet, comfortable, more than anticipated wind noise but no where near requiring ear plugs. Overall very pleased and great VFM.
Right out of the box the weight and feel of the helmet lets you know it's a decent bit of kit. Removing the visor couldent of been easier to fit the pic lock system that came free with the helmet. The only gripe I have is the lack of any instructions included in the box on how to rermove the visor and drop down dark visor that comes fitted to the helmet. A quick visit to the interweb and I fould a couple of good videos on what to do.
Ordered this as sadly my last helmet broke. After reading all the reviews I decided on this helmet. First of all, great service from sportsbikeshop as always. The helmet itself is quite light and great build quality as you would expect. Pin lock is easy to put in and works well. The sun visor is easy to use whilst on the move, I would say it feels like it doesn't quite drop enough, but that might just be my personal preference. The wind noise is louder than I expected, but not over the top. Overall this is a good helmet and for the money a great helmet, 4 stars given because of the wind noise.
Excellent. Amazing. Beautiful, comfortable. There is nothing bad I could say about this helmet.
One of the best I ever had. Highly recommended
First time using sportsbikeshop.co.uk Lid arrived next day and I'm really pleased with it. Excellent value for money. Seemed 'snug' on first try-on but now with a few miles wearing it I'm happy with the fit and performance. Good retailer - already have my eyes on my next purchases!
I already own an S900 and as I liked it so much when it was time to upgrade another of my helmets you guessed it… I got another S900.
As always it's great that it comes with a pin lock insert.
The interior has been updated since I bought my last one which was a nice surprise.
Can't fault the helmet.
Ordered this lid, it arrived the next day with no problems at all. Really nice helmet, fits well, pin lock is the way to go for a clear visor that never steams up.
Fantastic for the money. Well made and comfortable. Looks nice and wind noise is low. I'm normally a large but found I needed an extra large in this one so I would order the next size up to what you think.
Recently decided after purchasing a new bike, that I'd also upgrade my helmet. For 2 reasons, 1) for the safety aspect 2) so that it matched my bike and the rest of my gear.
Seen this helmet, and decided to try it out, as the price was too good to pass by.
Helmet delivered the next day, came with a pinlock visor insert which is awesome. No more fogging up.
The helmet is a snug, but comfortable fit.
Less wind noise than my previous helmet which is always good.
Feels of very good quality, which is standard for shark to be fair. They were great helmets even way back 18 years ago when I passed my bike test.
Cons:-
The helmets vents are a bit of an afterthought. I don't feel much of a difference between open or closed. But to be fair I never have in any helmet I've owned. Maybe the more premium line helmets are different.
The built in sun visor doesn't come down far enough in my opinion.
Final thought:-
I'd recommend this helmet to anyone wanting a higher quality helmet, but doesn't want to pay the premium line prices.

The S900 benefits from the new development process thanks to F.E.A. (finite elements analysis). This method is taken from the automotive industry runs with virtual crash tests. Real crash tests come later to complete and reinforce the safety procedure that Shark imperatively leads. The design department put maximum passion and creativity in the S900. The result? A helmet unlike any other!
Questions and Answers
Does this helmet support the Sharktooth Bluetooth system?
April 13, 2023This helmet doesn't support the Sharktooth system unfortunately.
Which visor does the Shark S900 Dual Special Edition helmet use?
January 11, 2023The S900 can use the V60 or the V65 visor.
Is this helmet supposed to come with a detatchable chin air deflector?
January 6, 2020I can confirm that this model does not come with a chin guard
The instructions for this helmet state that stickers must not be applied as they may damage the helmet, however it is supplied with stickers which must be applied to comply with French law. Is this safe??
April 30, 2018Shark confirm that the reflective stickers supplied (as an option for France) use a specific adhesive which does not contain an aggressive element and is therefore safe to apply.
Does this helmet have an anti fog visor.
January 22, 2018This comes with a Pinlock insert in the box, which can be fitted to prevent the visor from fogging.
I wear glasses, is the Shark S900 with integral visor OK for this?, also does the foam have reliefs in for the spectacle arms? Many thanks Ken
March 30, 2017Shark helmets in general are designed with spectacle wearers in mind and the drop down internal sun visor should not create an issue.
