Shark Spartan RS - Shaytan Matt Black / Red / Anthracite

Helmet looks to be great quality for a mid-price product and I like the easy-to-use vents. Delivered the next day after ordering - usual excellent Sportsbikeshop service so no complaints from this customer :)

I've done 200miles in this helmet now and really love it.
Comfortable with glasses on, wind noise is good, pinlock included.
Ventilation is great! Have closed vents a bit as I could feel the winter air on me...will be great in summer to keep cool.

For the price, this helmet is great quality, fit and with great functionality, especially that of the integrated sun visor and theyve even designed in space for sunglasses or glasses should you need to wear them and eliminating the arms digging into the side of your head.

Great helmet for all seasons.

Not my first Shark helmet - the old one had to be scrapped due to accident damage.

Great fit, the drop down sun visor is brilliant, the pin lock insert is excellent.

A really great helmet that is highly recommended.

Excellent advice from staff in the Glasgow shop, comfortable helmet with in built sunshade and lots of vents. Exactly what we were looking for, and available in loads of different colours in store. Very happy!

New lid was delivered exactly when requested.
Fits perfectly & looks great.
The visor catch is a little awkward at first but soon got the hang of it.
This is my second Shark helmet & the quality is great.
For those of us that wear glasses the fit is superb. Flip down dark visor is easy to operate & comes right down.
Over all very pleased with my purchase.......another top notch product delivered by Sportsbikeshop.

The helmet is excellent, well finished and looks great. Great to know it complies with the latest safety standards. It fits nicely and it is really quiet. Easy to wear it with glasses. The sun visor covers the whole view and is very easy to operate with a slider on top. Great feature. . The potential downside is the new locking system on the visor, as it is not very easy to operate with bulky gloves in the winter.

Brilliant helmet comfy on first ride, highly recommend

This was replacement for my dreadful shoei neotec 2 that gave me unbearable pain in both ears. I have since met 4 people who had a similar experience. Thank you Shark for an outstanding helmet, quiet (with shield down), very comfy and with attractive colours to boot. The original cheek pads were a little thin for my liking. However, after a phone call, a new pair were sent the next day. As usual, SBS, you are truly the best. Why would anyone want to go anywhere else, given the high quality service you provide. Many thanks.

It's a given that this helmet fits well, no point buying one that doesn't. I did need to buy slightly smaller cheek pads to get a good fit, still snug. I came from an Arai Axces and the most noticeable thing is how well the mechanisms and catches work whereas on the Arai those things seem like afterthoughts and vague operation that often left me fumbling and worrying about breaking it. The visor on the Shark has a ratchet mechanism for opening to stages and then a reassuring clunk when shut, then press the button to open. Removing and refitting the visor is a case of lining up two dots, twist a lever each side and then pull the visor out, refitting is just as easy. The visor has a similar feel to the visor, but no lock.

I have had a number of Shark helmets over the years. They are steadily getting better and this is the best by far.
1. Its very quiet with the visor closed, not so good when fully open it whistles.
2. The visor lock is good and with a little practice its easy to open with a gloved hand. There is a fine racket on the main visor the stiffness of which is adjustable.if you dont lock the visor down you get usable extra ventalation.
3. The internal sun visor is much easier to slide into place, this also has a rachet so you can set it where you need it.
4. My Sena 20s speakers fitted nicely into the pre-formed recesses in the helmet shell liner, and were very comfortable.
5. The previously adjustable chin wind guard is now elastic and helps keep the noise down. I may remove it for the summer to get more air in the helmet.
6. Ventilation, the front vent does direct the air at the visor which comes with an easy to fit Pinlock. There is a top vent and plenty of exhaust vents. I find I leave the visor open slightly to get more air on my face. The breath shield is removable but I leave it be.
7. Helmet, I love the shiny gloss finish its very easy to clean. Internal liners are easy to remove and wash. The helmet is snug quiet and does not feel heavy on my neck. The vision is better than previously and the quality of the visor is excellent. Fastening is double D ring and not too fiddley.
Of course there is no such thing as a perfect helmet. I would like more airflow to my face from the front vent but the adjustability of the visor compensates. I had the Spartan Carbon previously which I dropped hence the replacement. I dont notice the extra weight and this is definately an up grade on the old one from 4 years ago.

This is an excellent helmet that complies with the latest safety guidelines. It fits snuggly and you can feel the padding is in contact with your skull all over without giving you a headache. It's light and very quiet and wind noise is minimal compared to others I have tried. The sun visor has full coverage and is very easy to operate with a slider on top of the helmet. There's also no lift at high speed whatsoever. The velvet liner on the padding is also brilliant. The main let down for me is the new lock system on the visor. So far I haven't managed to unlock it whilst on my head even without gloves! I'm not looking forward to winter time when I would need to unlock it with heavily padded gloves. This is extremely annoying. The other minor gripe is the double D locks especially with the thick and stiff strap. I just hope the strap will soften a bit with usage. There are other lock systems available that are as safe which Shark could have used. The main benefit of other lock systems is the fact that the length can be adjusted once without the need to do so every time you put the helmet on.

Having had an MT helmet previously this is really in a different level. Exceptionally comfortable, brilliant noise protection and the finish is top quality. I have to also give credit to sportsbikeshop who were exceptional in sorting out a delivery hiccup!

Just brought the shark spartan rs straight away fantastic fit really comfortable great removable liners and padding fantastic visor with pin lock in the box double D ring strap I prefer D rings more secure and great venting system keeping face and head cool on warm days. I chose the matt black and red colour helmet and the shop fitted my intercom at no extra cost so far really happy with everything, probably best helmet to date. My last helmet was Shoei gt Air and shark have matched it at half the price, very happy biker
