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 is now available in a multiaxial fibreglass version |
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.
 |
| The Ridill is the latest addition to the Pulse helmet line |
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.
 |
| D-Skwal has been “designed with both racing and performance in mind” |
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 ventilation, 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.
