The internal sun visor on a sports-touring helmet delivers versatility for use in all conditions
Customers have praised the Shark helmets for their superior comfort and improvements over time. They appreciate the snug fit, noise reduction, and integrated sun visor, which operates smoothly even while wearing gloves. The helmets offer good ventilation and easy intercom fitting. Some customers mentioned initial challenges with the visor locking system, especially with winter gloves, but found it manageable over time. The visor's quality and smooth operability receive high ratings. Overall, customers are very satisfied with the value, quality, and thoughtful design of the helmet.
I’ve been wearing this helmet for a month now and it’s a real step up in quality from my previous Shark helmet. It’s a close fit but suits me and after trying many of the helmets in the shop I stuck with Shark. It comes with a removable breath guard, chin dam and a pin lock visor. The main visor is friction adjustable and has a satisfying movement. This visor locks and has a central latch in a groove which is frankly fiddly and I haven’t yet got used to it. It’s relatively quiet but not special. I got a good deal and a paint job which I guess was not popular so I’m satisfied.
Purchased to replace my 7 year old Arai. Very satisfied with the helmet it’s light, has great features and very comfy from the start. Visor easy to remove, drop down sun visor is great and the helmet looks good in this colour (silver). Only slight issue is visor mists up easily in cold weather when riding on a faired bike as front vent doesn’t get as much air flow cured with anti fog treatment. Overall though great helmet and prefer to my Arai. Great price and service from Sportsbike shop.
I bought this helmet after going into the store due to having the wrong size helmet (LS2 Rapid XS). I explained to the staff at MK my issue with headaches and the helmet leaving a mark and they were excellent in helping me find the right one. This was over my budget but after trying it on and the advice I got from the staff, it was a no brainer to purchase this helmet. Very pleased and a much more comfortable passenger.
I purchased the XL size helmet, and overall, I'm quite satisfied with it. The fit is comfortable and true to size for me, which was a relief. I also managed to take advantage of a good discount on the silver colour option, which made the deal even better—definitely great value for money.
The helmet comes with several useful features, including a built-in sun visor that's clear and easy to operate. It also includes a Pinlock insert for anti-fogging, which I initially found a bit tricky to install, but with a bit of patience, it was manageable. Additionally, it came with reflective stickers, which is a nice safety bonus.
One minor issue I noticed is a slight squeaking sound coming from the jaw area when handling or wearing the helmet. I'm not sure if this is specific to my unit or a common issue, but it’s something to be aware of. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it could be improved.
So far, I haven’t encountered any other problems. The materials feel solid, the ventilation seems decent, and the overall build quality is acceptable for the price range. Time will tell how well it holds up with regular use, but my first impressions are mostly positive.
Super comfortable and plush helmet fitted with internal tinted visor and unlock. Great deal from SBS
This fits me very well, contains enough important features to be all the helmet I need. Didn't feel too heavy. Colourway looked great, price was superb.
Fit well, comfortable, but the visor mechanism committed Seppuku and even after repair was never the same, made it almost unusable. It was comfy, though. Sun visor was excellent. Quiet enough with earplugs in, easy to fit comms. Just disappointed in the build quality.
Sadly got launched down stairs after I fell over a dog, so got replaced a bit early. I wasn’t disappointed with that outcome.
Great quality - comfort and great design or a good price!
My last helmet was Shark and though very pleased, this new one is soooo much better! The fit is perfect and the comfort/ stability provides me with the knowledge of safety. The visor upgrade along with the anti-fog insert is a game changer and further confidence in the helmet.
I would not hesitate recommending as the price does not reflect the great qualities so is value for money and safety
Great lid for the money and would give it 5 stars but I find the visor opening tricky to use with gloves on which makes it difficult to open when riding.
Haven't used it on a ride yet but it feels and looks good value for money, cardo fits perfectly too. Has sufficient vents and love the sun visor
The shades for this helmet are great. They stop alot of light. And the overall look is perfect for what I am going for
Very comfortable and the drop down sun visor is the best I have used when wearing gloves. Tried several helmets before settling on this one, great price and quality and the double D ring is a must
Helmet looks to be great quality for a mid-price product and I like the easy-to-use vents. Delivered the next day after ordering - usual excellent Sportsbikeshop service so no complaints from this customer :)
I've done 200miles in this helmet now and really love it.
Comfortable with glasses on, wind noise is good, pinlock included.
Ventilation is great! Have closed vents a bit as I could feel the winter air on me...will be great in summer to keep cool.
For the price, this helmet is great quality, fit and with great functionality, especially that of the integrated sun visor and theyve even designed in space for sunglasses or glasses should you need to wear them and eliminating the arms digging into the side of your head.
Great helmet for all seasons.
Not my first Shark helmet - the old one had to be scrapped due to accident damage.
Great fit, the drop down sun visor is brilliant, the pin lock insert is excellent.
A really great helmet that is highly recommended.
