Shark Helmets

Move over, Italian gear companies. For more than 25 years, the French company Shark has been on the forefront of the motorcycle helmet market, and for a good reason. This company was not founded by mere enthusiasts. Rather, professional racers came together to create helmets that truly reflect the style and desires of riders on all levels.

Shark first opened their doors in Marseille, France in 1986. Since then, the company has grown to more than 600 employees, manufacturing about 350,000 helmets annually, which are sold through 5,000 outlets globally as well via online retailers. They continue to push the boundaries of what can be accomplished in terms of safety and innovation. The brand even guarantees a five-year warranty, ensuring that your ride can be enjoyed safely.

Shark’s Innovation

Rider safety is the number one priority of Shark helmets. Using their very own Research and Development lab, Shark tests and retests the latest and greatest in protection, functionality and comfort. With features like quick release face shields and goggle systems and materials like injected thermoplastic resin, riders can wear Shark helmets knowing they are fully protected. In addition, there are a variety of styles available, ranging from modern racing to classic helmet-and-goggle options.

The helmets were made for more than just the rider’s safety. All the helmets have ample ventilation, keeping you cool even on the hottest days. These helmets are also designed with the rider’s wallet in mind. While being top quality, Shark’s products don’t carry a top-of-the-line price. In addition, the five-year warranty (on all Shark helmets) means you can ride knowing you are protected.

Racing at Shark

Since the company was founded by former professional racers, it only makes sense that Shark sponsors racers all over the world. In events such as endurance, grand prix, rally raid, etc., Shark has garnered more than 60 world championships. Some of these prestigious racers include Raymond Roche, Olivier Jacque, Carl Fogarty, Randy de Puniet, Troy Corser, Pol Espargaro, Scott Reading, Olivier Panis and Cyril Despres. The sponsored riders don’t just wear the gear, however. They help design the helmets, plus test them in the most extreme conditions. That way you know that if you see a Shark helmet on the shelf, it has been approved by a world-class professional.

In addition, Shark sponsors their own racing events. These are not just for professionals. There are events for first-timers to get their feet wet and experience the thrill of bike racing. Shark also sponsors a team of stunt riders who go by the moniker “Switch Riders.” With the motto “There is no place you can’t ride,” these enthusiasts have been hailed many times as the best stunt riders in the world.

With so many different types of riders wearing Shark helmets, there’s no reason you shouldn’t, too. Whether you are hitting the open road or the tight turns of the grand prix, Shark has a helmet right for your style - and your wallet.
