Verified Customer Reviews for Shark Spartan RS
Our customers say…
Customers are generally impressed with the Shark Spartan RS helmet, praising its comfort, quietness, and stylish design. Many appreciate its snug fit, lightweight feel, and innovative features like the built-in sun visor and easy-to-remove liners. However, a few find the visor's locking mechanism fiddly, especially with bulky gloves, and mention minor issues such as limited airflow and adjustability. Despite this, the helmet is well-regarded for its quality, ventilation, and value, alongside its seamless compatibility with glasses and intercom systems.

Great helmet

Was wanting a second helmet and this doesn’t disappoint. Very comfortable, light weight compared to my other. Would buy again if needed

Advisors, not sales people

The most impressive thing that stood out is the staff knowledge and clearly exceptional training. Not once did they try to sell a product but rather provided guidance and advice.
I ended up purchasing the shark Spartan RS after the patient staff took the time to walk through different fits, testing each one as we went.
Genuine kudos to the team, this is what makes a great shopping experience.

Great Helmet

Found the Shark Spartan RS on sportsbikeshop. At this price could not miss. Read reviews and watched product reviews. When it arrived, was better than pictures on site. This helmet has some great features as standard that some more expensive ones don't, like a pinlock insert. Air flow through the vent front and top is noticeable, and cooling. The helmet does not feel heavy after a long ride either.
Vision is great all round, no real stress on the neck when doing observations. Low wind noise, makes this helmet great all round. Great price also

Very comfortable

I like this helmet a lot, the fit is great and it was easy to set up my intercom system with it. I really like the sun visor and the switch for it being on top of the helmet. My wife ended up buying the same helmet as she was also impressed with it

Excellent

I couldn't be happier with the Shark Spartan RS! It's so comfortable to wear, and my glasses slip into the channels with ease even when I've had a fresh haircut.
The ventilation is superb and the pinlock that is included is a great addition to an already top notch helmet!

Replacement for a Shark Zarco Replica. Not used yet but first impressions are once again a very solid product as have always used Shark given I wear glasses and there's no fitting issue. Hope it feels good on the road !

Great value for a good helmet

Saw this helmet at a discounted price and grabbed it as it ticked all the boxes.
+ Comfortable and fits well
+ Sun visor works well and is easy to use
+ Pinlock (included) stops fogging. Getting the visor out to insert the pinlock was super easy.
- Visor lock mechanism is OTT and takes some getting used to
- Chin curtain velcro is too weak and is barely holding
Overall a very good helmet at a great price with a couple of niggles

Best helmet I've had in 35yrs of riding. I've been using Shark helmets since 2001 and in terms of quality , optical clarity and ventilation, this one is in a league of it's own. To say I'm impressed is an understatement!! Top notch service and price from Sportsbike shop has been exemplary as usual.

Nice helmet
29 Dec 2025 by Steven R
Bought as a replacement helmet for a Shark D-Skwal. This is a very nice helmet and has a quality feel. Not used as yet and not sure about d ring fasteners- time will tell. All in all, very nice helmet and a great deal through SBS.

For me there is nothing to dislike about this helmet it has everything I need, it blocks out the wind noise offering me peace, it has space for my glasses which others do not, the pin lock is also a good addition. The D ring took some getting used to thought but nothing difficult mind you

By successfully passing the new E 22-06 standard, the Spartan RS is the first shark helmet from this new generation. The combination of multiaxial composite shell and multi-density EPS ensures the highest level of protection and exceeds this new standard. The ultra-resistant screen offers an additional level of security to the helmet, thanks to its locking system with "four anchor points", directly inspired by the Race-R Pro GP. The Spartan RS is equipped with a high-performance VZ 300 display. Designed in optical class 1 with variable thicknesses, it thus avoids visual distortions regardless of the viewing angle. The helmet incorporates Pinlock 120 Max Vision film, the most effective anti-fog system on the market. The profile of the Spartan RS has been designed and engineered to limit aerodynamic drag, to minimise buffeting and to reduce extraneous noise at medium and high speeds.
