Great value for money. Comfortable comes with free pin lock
Good points:
Looks good.
Comfy.
The sun visor is good - my previous helmets sun visor didn't come down quite enough, but this one is spot-on.
Lightweight.
Sensibly priced.
Bad points:
The sun visor seems to rub on the inner fabric of the helmet as it comes down. Probably just this one that does it though.
There's not much padding at the bottom/rear of the helmet, right behind my neck/under my ears, and the opening is quite wide at the back - so there's a constant breeze blowing upwards/inwards - fine for summer, but probably not going to be great on cold days.
I contacted SBS about the padding, but never had a reply - shame.
PS: don't remove the tags or visor protector when trying on, as they can't be returned if you do.
Very light weight but the pin lock system is a brilliant advantage
As always, Sportsbikeshop never fail to deliver. The helmet is brilliant and was packaged so securely.
A really comfortable, lightweight sassy helmet, thoroughly recommend it for the price alone
Fit is perfect. Ordered medium and it fits perfect. Speedy delivery. Can't fault the helmet.
Great value for money - nice and light, good fit
Love this helmet. Great upgrade from my old shark lid. Fits snug, great design/colour combination and an overall good buy.
Great helmet. Very comfortable and lightweight.
I have owned a few Shoei's over the years and thought I'd have a change this year. The Shark caught my eye and the cost saving over the Shoei is nice to have. I wear glasses and found this helmet is really good at giving space for them to fit. Also the lining is really nice. We'll see how it fairs long term, but the initial quality and feel is great.
My only gripe (reason for knocking off a star) is I noticed while riding I can hear a "knocking" sound and thought something was loose on the bike. I've found it's the small notched slider on the top of the helmet for opening the vents that is 'rattling' slightly in the wind and making the noise. I'll probably look to glue it or something as rarely ride with the top vent open. Otherwise a really nice lid.
Fits well, anti bead on front of visor is great as is the included Pinlock visor insert.
This is my second Shark helmet and I can honestly say that I think they are one of the best manufacturers for helmets, it's a comfortable fit in all the right places and is lighter the some of it's counterparts. I bought this with the Shark tooth comms kit which is a perfect addition to this lid as it's designed to fit unobtrusively inside.
Shark are definitely going to be my regular helmets as they are good quality helmets at a reasonable price. I was unfortunate enough to have a spill with my old lid which resulted in this purchase, but I have confidence in Shark helmets to do the job of providing great protection.
This helmet is the 2nd shark I have purchased from sportsbikeshop and it is a fantastic product...super fit, great features and a stunning look.. The customer service I received was great due to getting in a pickle with supplied anti fog screen. I wouldn't shop anywhere else online for my bike clothing and accessories. Always fast delivery and great communication
Being a long time Shark wearer this helmet doesn't disappoint. very comfortable fit, Pinlock included and great graphics. the Sharktooth intercom was easy to install. Delivered within 24 hours. Very pleased overall.
Very happy with me new helmet .. it came with in 3 day. Spot on.
A really smart looking helmet in matt black. Looks more expensive than it actually is and the quality is superb value for money. This is my second Shark lid and I really think they are up there with the top names. They feel slightly tight when new but that eventually beds in. Very happy
My third 'Skwal' helmet and continue to be impressed. The only thing I have found as a negative with the D-Skwal 2 over its predecessor is the sun visor is slightly visible (1 to 2mm) in the fully UP position. Otherwise a fully solid lid and great service from SBS after the intial delivery arrived damaged.
So shark helmets have always been my go to helmets since I was 18 and now going on 37 . Also to think the brand is just a few years younger than my self ,Shark was started 1989 by brothers and former professional racers André and Robert Teston racers guys my dad also followed and probably why he also used shark back in the 90's
Have used brands like Nolan, HjC, scorpion,agv, shoei in the past but always end up back with shark .
Have had a mix of shark helmets from rsf, race r pro, s900 ,skwal original.
One helmet that I loved was the shark s900 with the drop down sun visor, chin skirt and thicker cheek pads .
The D skwal basically follows the s900 and without the LED's .
The D skwal with the pinlock include stops the visor from misting
Air intakes do their job and the rachet system easy to use with gloves on ,plus it looks good.
Sportsbikeshop was next day delivery was spot on and customer service was great.
