Shark RSR2


Threw down for a proper race helmet so I could finish off my "wanna-be-racer" outfit...
Wanted a Top of the line helmet and while I really like Arai's fit and finish, nothing really appealed to me in terms of visual stimulation...Skarks Duhmale Replica on the other hand...very nice...even nicer in person.
Fit, finish, and design are top notch.
The Perfect fit for me is a Arai Vector M. I got the RSR2 in a Large, and its 90% a good fit. Little room in the back of the head, but feels great. Interior lining is so nice, its hard to explain.
It is extremely light and comfortable to wear all day (wore it for a total of 3 hours today, and took a 15 min power-nap with it on too).
The visor has great optical clarity and is THICK! Field of view is very good as well. The cheek pads interrupt the periph a bit, but not annoying.

Compared to the Arai RX-7 I would rank this above it (only slightly, as its subjective). Liner fits and feels better, and it feels safer. Those are the two most obvious for me.
Gonna have it on Moday for TTD and Ill comment on how it feels while riding in the rain!

Happy Hunting!

Nice... I've got an RSR - Foggy and an RSR2 - Duhamel (White).

They're the best helmets I've owned. They move a lot of air and are pretty quiet considering how much ventilation they have.

The visors are great... if you do decide to get a mirrored shield or their dark smoke, they are both darker than other manufacturers shields.

Round 2...
TTD in the pouring rain today...the new lid made the rain its biatch!!!
NO fogging, NO leaks, great venting, and fantastic clarity (as much as you can get with water droplets)
This was the first time wearing it on the bike, and it felt like I have had this helmet for 5 years already...I'm a Shark guy now...fantastic lid!
