Shark and ride!

SHARK are always at the head of the queue when it comes to keeping motorcycle helmets looking fresh and at the forefront of performance.

This new Spartan model combines useful features with a cool retro paint job perfectly to give bikers an instant timeless classic.

Shark’s tech boffins have made sure that every line and curve works hard but the aesthetics are equally impressive, so even though the aerodynamics have been carefully planned out, the lid still looks cool.

Many new helmets (even when you’ve measured your head properly!) have a stiff or tight feeling on first wearing but the Spartan feels instantly comfortable. Snug enough to ensure a safe fitment but not so tight that it gives you a headache on the first few rides!

The lid has ‘Shark Skin’ peak side fastenings which are designed to reduce whistling and the visor features Shark’s release system for fast and easy cleaning or replacement.

The liner and cheek pads are made from bamboo which gives them a natural antibacterial quality but after a sweaty mid-summer ride, if you feel the need for a refresh, the lining is completely removable for washing.

Plus it comes with an anti-fog Pinlock insert as standard, so there’s no extras to buy if you want completely fog-free vision.

There’s a choice of six sizes, to suit heads measuring from 53m-64cm, so you’ll always get the right fit - if you’re thinking of ordering online, make sure you’ve tried one on in a store or at a bike show to make sure you’re getting a safe and accurate size.

There are three key areas to address when buying a new lid - safety first obviously, then comfort and fit, and finally the appearance. In this Priona design, the Spartan easily ticks all three boxes!
