30 years of performance

All SHARK helmets are designed in France using cutting edge technologies. Riders are at the center of our product creation process. “Design for a Function” is our motto: each line, each curve, each function must serve a purpose which makes our products so unique and innovative.

We develop new models by relying on advanced studies carried out in the field of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to improve riding comfort, optimize ventilation and improve aerodynamics. These CFD studies enable us to eliminate buffeting effects at high speed and reduce noises. All of our newly-released models are equipped with Optical Class 1-rated visors featuring variable thicknesses (from 4.2 mm to 2.8 mm) free of any visual distortion.
