Helmet

Distinguished by an aerodynamic design, the new model Shark Spartan RS it has been defined in such a way as to contain the "buffeting" effect and the noise at medium and high speeds. The line appears connected for functional management of air flows. Sizes vary between XS e XXL.
The union between the multi-axial external shell and the internal multi-density EPS offers high protection, exceeding the standards established by the new ECE 22-06 regulation.

Safety reinforced by the ultra-resistant visor, given a closure system with 4 anchoring points, directly inspired by the Race-R Pro GP.
Ventilation is supported by an aeration scheme with lower diffusers that project the air towards the inside of the helmet, while the upper solution conveys fresh air into the channels dedicated to the upper area of the head. The extraction of hot air is facilitated by a rear spoiler and grilles that maximize the Venturi effect. There is an "air blow" position in the system to quickly counteract possible fogging of the visor, depending on the weather conditions.

Remaining on the visor, the ultra-performance VZ 300 solution of the Spartan RS Carbon, already present on the Spartan GT, offers outstanding optical quality, designed to reach optical class 1 thanks to a variable thickness, to avoid any visual distortion.
We also remember the UV380 approved internal sun visor with an adjustment system that allows targeted positioning according to needs.
The package also includes a Pinlock 120 Max Vision® lens, a well-known anti-fog system on the market.
The internal areas in “ALVEOTECH” fabric guaranteed SANITIZED® for antimicrobial, anti-odor and anti-sweat effectiveness are removable and machine washable at 30°C. Comfort is favored by the padding and an "Easyfit" system is also highlighted which facilitates those who wear glasses.
