Shark: what a range at EICMA 2015

Shark Evo-One – It was the beginning of 2007 when Shark presented the EvoLine line. It was the first chapter of a story that led it to develop, almost ten years ago, the first helmet in the world with double jet and full-face homologation and today have the EvoLine Series 3 in its range, which is and remains the world reference in the modular helmet segment.

In 2016 a new model is added to the Evo helmet line, the Evo-One Shark which thus takes a new step forward in the modular category, with a helmet with a unique design and which offers compactness, aerodynamics, comfort, an unprecedented chin strap, optimized weight, visor with Pinlock MaxVision as standard. It will be available in December 2015. With the EvoLine Series 3, in 2012, Shark had already created the "Auto-up" system, which allows the main visor to be automatically raised when the chin guard is raised. Now, with the Evo-One, Shark has gone further and patented the system “Auto-up/Auto-down”: not only does the chin guard rise when we lift the visor, but when we want to close our helmet the visor automatically repositions itself to facilitate the transition from jet to full-face helmet. Suggested price (VAT included) starting from 406,70 euro.

Thanks to the original and unique shape of the shell, inspired by the NACA profiles of aeronautical origin, the Evo-One also has intrinsic stability at any speed. The anti-buffeting features (to prevent the helmet from oscillating) have been integrated into the shape of the shell thanks to lateral escape lines designed flush with the surface of the helmet and at a constant height. These lines prevent the air from encountering obstacles that interrupt its flow, thus causing speed oscillations. CFD studies then led to optimal positioning of the air vents. The lower air intake is thus equipped with a dual function: sending air towards the mouth or demisting the visor, or both functions together. The design of the internal shell has also been specifically studied to maximize air circulation.

Furthermore, two important new features will arrive in the spring. Shark created Spartan based on the principle of «Reverse Engineering». We are talking about a helmet entirely designed starting from the study of the user's head, gradually adding every functionality to obtain the maximum in terms of safety and comfort. Spartan was developed so that each part of the helmet performs a very specific function in order to offer performance, comfort and safety at the same time. Then, we have the Micro Kiss with completely removable, washable interiors treated with activated bamboo carbon for a triple effect: antibacterial, anti-sweat and hypoallergenic. Weight +/-50g 1200g and suggested price (VAT included) starting FROM 142,35 euros.
