Shark UK recently unveiled its 2010 helmet range at its Dorset headquarters to an audience of media and loyal Shark racers including Ryan Farquhar, Ian Lowry, James Westmoreland, Sylvain Guintoli and Scott Redding. Shark displayed a host of new colours and graphics, with one new addition to the range and a world first in helmet design - glow-in-the-dark!

Published in Product Releases

Shark are set to release two of their brand new 2010 helmets to selected dealers from early October.

Fully equipped with a four star SHARP rating the Smoke and Fireshark are new colours of the popular RSI range.
The RSI is definitely value for money with its perfect combination of technology and safety, the RSI helmet has sharp and aggressive lines that yield exceptional aerodynamic performances.

Shark Helmets is taking the unprecedented step of releasing a selection of new 2012 colour options into the UK dealer network early, just a few months before the French manufacturer unveils the rest of the 2012 range. The Vision –R helmet, introduced in 2011, is the first model to bring a new theme early, as the Syntic offers three different colour options, featuring fresh and bold designs with blocks of colour and thin lines running through. Designed, as the name suggests, with added sight in mind, the Vision -R currently has the largest visor aperture on the market. The Syntic is available in black/grey/white, white/red/black and white/black/grey and priced at £279.99.

French lid manufacturers Shark have announced recent additions to their new for 2011 model, the Race-R Pro. This new model represents their top of the range item and is to supercede the massively popular RSR2 Carbon which has been retired from manufacture, until now only a handful of designs have been available and selling out as soon as they arrived but with this latest bunch of graphics we are sure even more of you will be tempted by one - we love Shark here and if the Race-R Pro is as good as the helmet it replaces, you can be sure to get a hell of a helmet.
The SHARK helmet range has always been quite popular around the Bikechatter office and, it seems, across the industry in general, where they excel is offering highly technical and well developed models as a thoroughly decent price. Within the range you have what you would expect from top-spec racing helmets such as the Race-R Pro and more road oriented touring version - Race-R as well as the Vision-R which offers unprecidented vertical and peripheral vision, add to that you have a number of full faced flip front and open faced helmets which are perfect for summer riding.
