Shark helmets are designed with innovation in mind. Shark makes motorcycle helmets for every rider. They offer full face and open face models, an Easy Fit model to accommodate people who wear glasses, a communication system, called Shark Tooth, and panoramic vision in their higher end helmets.
There is no doubt there has been a trend back towards naked bikes or bikes with minimal/bikini style fairings like street-fighters. Shark have acknowledged the need for better aerodynamics for riders of these bikes with the release of the Shark Speed-R Sauer. [click to continue…]
The Shark Evoline Series 2 helmets are now a superseded model to the newer Evoline Series 3. You can read about the Series 3 helmets here. For those of you who may have found a closeout sale, here is a review to help you decide if you still want to go ahead.
The EvoLine 2 series meets DOT and ECE 22.05 safety standards with the rotating visor in either the fully raised or lowered position. This Helmet is a modular helmet and can be worn in the open or closed positions. Though Shark has the Evoline Series 3 helmets out, many who purchased Evoline 3s did so because they were very happy with the Shark 2 Evoline Series 2 ST Helmet. [click to continue…]
Open-Faced or Full-Faced with Modular Integration
SHARK constantly evolves and reinvents their line of helmets and could not be more proof-positive than the release of the SHARK Evoline 3 Helmet series. Founded by professional racers over two decades ago, the French SHARK company continually strives to improve the company goal of safety and performance for all classes of motorcycle racing. This Shark Evoline 3 helmet review takes a look at this latest innovative product.
An Apparent 25% Taller and 10% Wider Field of View
The Shark Vision-R helmet has revolutionized the field of view for motorcyclists. The aperture is supposed to be at par with an open-faced helmet, which enables the rider to have the widest angle of vision currently possible in a helmet.
Although, your field of vision may not be completely equal to an open helmet, it still provides a much better peripheral vision and a sense of freedom.
Aptly called the Vision-R, for bigger vision aperture, the helmet provides a dramatic improvement in the field of vision compared to other helmets. The rider’s vision range improves 25% vertically, as well as 10% horizontally, which makes it easy to see all that is going on around you.
The plush inner padding, and solid seal of the visor, minimizes noise to quite an extent. The padding also improves the comfort and safety levels, and the whole lining is removable, which is another distinct advantage.
The internal drop-down visor has the right level of tint to protect you from sun glare, and the auto seal is quite effective in preventing drafts and rain. The tight seal also works towards lowering the noise, and a convenient catch pops open a small space for the air to circulate, and prevent fogging.
The helmet has a solid fiber construction that conforms to the latest safety standards. The helmet looks quite imposing, and you might take it to be quite heavy, but it is not the case as the smaller model weighs about a 1.395 kgs (3 lbs).
It is available in two sizes and provides quite a firm fit. The design of the helmet prevents any kind of lift at high speeds, and that reduces quite a bit of strain on the neck and shoulders of the rider.
The mechanism of the chinstrap is simple seatbelt style, which is quick to release, and securely adjusts at the time of fastening.
Although the Shark Vision-R helmet has many plus points, it is not without certain flaws.
This Shark helmet is good value for money, especially when you value more visibility, and peripheral vision while riding.
The company could have done better if there were more sizes available, so that all people could experience a better fit. However, if present available sizes are comfortable for your head, then this is one of the best helmets available in the market today.
With so many riders buying helmets online these days; this is a very common and valid question. It is essential to work out what is the size and shell shape that fits you best. Here Anthony from Revzilla gives Discount Motorcycle Gear Reviews readers a quick guide to getting it right the first time.
Presently you can snap yourself up a total bargain because it is discounted to $349.95 for block colors, slightly more for graphics at the time of writing.
USA buyers can grab a Shark Vision-R and get free mainland delivery, price match guarantee and 30 day no hassles returns with no re-stocking fees, full refund or alternative item replacement if it doesn’t fit.
The feedback from various motorcycle gear websites to date reinforces our verdict that it is a comfortable light helmet with a superb field of vision for adventure touring, dual-sport, competition, or commuting and is great value for money. We’ll give it 4.7 out of 5.
Hope this Shark Vision-R review has helped you. If it has please give us a thumbs up on Facebook.
Cheers
