Shark Helmets adds new models and graphics

PRO GuIDe
French manufacturer Shark Helmets has updated its 2017 programme with new models and graphics . The Spartan Carbon full face , which was launched in 2016 and weighs in at an impressively light 1,290g , has been updated with 11 new colour schemes added to the original three . The Spartan name has been extended to include a new 21-colourway Spartan line , which retains all the Carbon ’ s features and specifications except the shell composition - swapping the Carbon / Aramide outer shell structure for a standard multi-axial composite . Brand new for 2017 is the ‘ Ridill ’, an injected thermoplastic resin shell featuring a 2.2mm flexible and scratch resistant Pinlock compatible visor and micro-lock buckle system . Said to have been developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD ), the ventilation of the helmet has been optimised and a glove-friendly , slider operated sunshield integrated . A removable and washable lining , Shark ’ s “ Easy Fit ” glasses system and a 5-year warranty make ‘ Ridill ’ a feature- rich option at the price . Also new for 2017 , the D-Skwal is based on their popular Skwal with its characteristic integrated LED lights . Made in an injected thermoplastic resin shell with CFD optimised v e n t i l a t i o n , features include an integrated sun visor , anti-scratch Pinlock ready visor and micro- lock buckle system . It also has Shark ’ s ‘ Autoseal ’ system , which flattens the visor onto the helmet – protecting against water , cold and wind noise – and a removable and washable liner that is compatible with the company ’ s ‘ SharkTooth ’ communications systems . Their established Race-R Pro , Skwal , EVO-ONE and EvoLine ranges have also had new colour schemes and graphics added . The Shark range is available from distributors throughout Europe , including Nevis Marketing in the UK .
