Product Information
Full details
The Shark Spartan RS Carbon Skin Motorcycle Helmet is designed for adult riders seeking advanced protection and performance. Its key benefit is the revolutionary ECE 22-06 certification, ensuring it meets the highest safety standards. A potential consideration is that it comes standard with a clear visor, and alternative visors may need to be purchased separately. This helmet features a lightweight yet robust carbon fiber and multiaxial fiberglass shell, an anti-fog and anti-scratch Pinlock Max Vision visor, a convenient drop-down sun visor, and a secure Double D-ring fastening.

FAQs
What is the ECE 22-06 standard?
The ECE 22-06 is the latest European safety standard for motorcycle helmets, featuring more rigorous testing procedures and impact scenarios than its predecessor (ECE 22-05), ensuring a higher level of protection.
Does the helmet come with a Pinlock insert?
Yes, the Shark Spartan RS Carbon Skin comes with a Pinlock Max Vision insert included as standard, which helps prevent the main visor from fogging up.
Can I replace the clear visor with a tinted one?
Yes, the clear visor can be replaced with other compatible Shark visors, including tinted, mirrored, or iridium options. These are typically sold separately.
How do I clean the helmet's interior lining?
The interior lining is usually removable. Hand wash it gently with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight before reassembling.
What is the purpose of the aerodynamic design?
The aerodynamic design is engineered to reduce wind resistance and minimize buffeting, leading to a quieter and more stable ride, especially at higher speeds, thus reducing rider fatigue.
Is this helmet suitable for track days?
Yes, the Shark Spartan RS Carbon Skin is ECE 22-06 and ACU Gold approved, making it suitable for track day use in the UK and meeting high safety standards required for performance riding.
What type of chin strap fastening does it use?
This helmet uses a traditional and secure Double D-ring fastening system, which is widely regarded as the safest method for helmet retention.
Troubleshooting
Visor fogging despite Pinlock
Ensure the Pinlock Max Vision insert is correctly seated and making full contact with the main visor. Check for any debris between the visors.
Sun visor is difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions around the sun visor mechanism. Ensure the helmet is clean and free of debris. Refer to the manual for specific operating instructions.
Helmet feels too tight or loose
Consult the Shark sizing chart to confirm you have the correct size. If minor adjustments are needed, check if the helmet has removable padding that can be swapped or adjusted. Professional fitting is recommended.
Strap or buckle is uncomfortable
Adjust the length of the Double D-ring strap for a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is not twisted. The strap padding should rest against your chin.
