Shark Helmets???

[Nate Dawg]

I need a new helmet. I've been wearing the same Arai for the past 6 yrs. and still love it. But feel for safty reasons I need to invest in a new one.

I wear the Arai Profile helmet which is designed to fit people with oval heads.
I'm looking into the new Shark RSR2 helmet. but I can't find any info about fit comparisons between Arain and Shark.

So....does anyone wear Shark helmets? If so, what is your experience with them? Likes and dislikes?

thanks

i just got a rs2 from motorcyclecloseouts.com

pro's
super light
think shield.

con's
they have this button thing that mad opening the visor difficult.
i broke mine off. the shield stays up when it wants to. could just be mine.

other than those two glaring problems its a good helmet.

Stick with the Arai.
pm me with your size for quotes on a new Arai helmet.

+1 on Arai, tried a couple sharks on, i am going to stick with the arai profile as my head is oval aswell. Protected my noggin perfectly when i damaged erics paint with my face.

my next helmet will be a shark, ive heard nothing but great things. very light, safe and thick visors!

[Dieseldan]

have both the shark and arai


shark is nice real light and for me very easy to change visor

Sooo, what head shape does the shark accommodate? How does the shape compare to an arai vector?

[Dieseldan]

dont have a vector so cant comment

The shark seemed super round to me. Didn't fit at all like the other brands(maybe icon). The shield is nice as mentioned above, but i totally hated the feel of it, which is too bad because i like the internal safety and design.

I had an Icon yrs ago. It felt like I was wearing a sinderblock. I also owned a bell helmet. That thing was super round with a ton of forehead pressure.

Nate, def try it out somewhere before spending big bucks on shark. I'm a shoei head....x-11 fits me perfect. Tried shark rsr2 at riverside - a while ago. Didn't fit my head too well. Had this weird open space right on top.

I love my Shark. The shield is anti fog and it works well. I wear mine while racing. It's light and the shield is super easy to change.

Best helmet I have owned. I have owned several arai and shoe models and I like my Shark the best.

And they don't cost 6 hundred fuckin bucks.
