This is my second pinlock and I really don't know how I ever managed without one before. These are easy to fit and make a world of difference. As always the quality is amazing. Also amazing service from sportsbikeshop which is why I only ever buy my stuff from here.

As good as any pinlock I assume, Not for Ridill 2
26 August 2024 by Anonymous
Pinlocks are great but don't buy this for Shark Ridill 2, it's only for Ridill 1. Don't be confused by it saying 1.2 and thinking it means 1 and 2.

Does what is says on the packet !! Pinlocks must be one of the best inventions ever as they keep the visor clear whatever the weather conditions without restricting view through it

Excellent Fit!
16 May 2023 by Miral P
I struggle with getting the right helmet, especially as I wear glasses. The Shark Ridill 1.2 is perfect - its comfortable and is the perfect shape for my head. It is easy to slide my glasses on and off, and the chin strap is easy to do up and release. Love the blue colour as it matches my bike too! Best helmet I've had, and it's reasonably priced too.

Pinlock insert
12 April 2023 by JV
First time using a pinlock as previous helmet didn't have the attachment for it so brought one when swapped out for a shark.
Simple to fit, had some slight issue with fogging with new helmet but fixed it instantly

Smart, well fitted and good value helmet
03 April 2023 by Lucy W
The helmet fits well, doesn't rub in any places like previous lids have, I bought an anti fog screen for the visor which was no trouble to attach. It isn't heavy or bulky. The helmet looks great, I was able to attach wireless comms to it easily. The shaded visor is a great addition, though I can't use it as I wear glasses and it won't sit down over them comfortably. Overall its a solid lid I'm very happy with it, I bought my mum the same one in a different colour and shes impressed with it.

Shark Pinlock Insert.
20 March 2023 by Anonymous
I've always used a pinlock insert, but this is the first Shark helmet I've bought that doesn't include one. This particular one was really hard to find, but Sporstbike shop managed to get me one and, as usual, the insert was simple to fit. I was pleased to find the price was low, compared to some previous Shark inserts, but the quality seems just as good. Vision as clear as I expected and so is the performance. No misting at all. As it should be!

Great product but expensive
24 October 2022 by Richard T
Shark Ridill is the worst helmet I have used that steams up the minute you have to stop. Fitting a pinlock is a god send, no more steaming up meaning you can ride without having the visor open all the time. Fitting to my visor was very easy, just read the instructions first which are very easy to follow, replace visor onto your helmet then go for a ride. Expensive for what it is and why should you have to fit one in the first place?.

It works.
11 July 2022 by Mervyn H
Been using pinlock inserts for around 12 years and wouldn't be without it, especially when the weather gets cooler. Weather is currently boiling hot so cannot comment on this particular one working but have no reason to suspect that it won't. There was one thing that this one has which is a message printed on it that it is for daytime use only. That was never on any others that I have had. I can't see any other difference and commuting to work you spend half the year riding in the dark anyway, so we will have to see when autumn /winter comes if it really can't be used in the dark.

A must have!

Sportsbikeshop never fail on customer service. Product originally out of stock but regularly kept up-to-date. As for the insert, as far as I'm concerned all visors should have one of these.

Shark Pinlock Insert
24 August 2021 by Thomas G
I had never fitted a pinlock insert before so googled it. Turned out to be quite simple. The insert is awesome I have had no fogging issue since it's been installed.
Only compatible with genuine Shark Pinlock ready visors.
This product can be used all the year round during hot and humid summer conditions and wet, cold periods. Riding with a completely closed visor in these conditions is possible without fogging-up using this product. A truly unique system that ensures you will have a clear view whatever the weather condition.
With over 25 years of experience in the production of motorcycle helmets, it's no wonder that Shark is rapidly becoming one the world's most dominant biking brands. Now trading in more than 45 countries, Shark employs over 600 people and continues to operate from its headquarters in Marseille, France. Their desire to push technical boundaries in order to create innovative products still remains today, despite this colossal level of expansion. Shark has always believed in perfecting their products using the ultimate testers available, motorcycle racers from the world's most prestigious championships. With names such as Carl Fogarty, Randy De Puniet and Scott Redding on the testers list, it's easy to see why Shark helmets are becoming the default brand of choice for many bikers today. This development through racing has led Shark not only to focus on comfort and innovation, but ultimately to focus on safety.
