FAQs
What safety standards does the Shark Spartan GT PRO meet?
The helmet meets the ECE 22.05 standard and is ACU Gold Approved. It is also designed to transition to the newer ECE 22-06 standard.
Is the Pinlock insert included?
Yes, the Shark Spartan GT PRO typically comes with the Pinlock Max Vision lens included to prevent fogging.
How do I clean the helmet shell?
Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to prevent damage to the finish.
Can I wash the helmet's interior lining?
Yes, the interior lining is usually removable and can be hand-washed with cool water and mild detergent. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
What is the purpose of the drop-down sun visor?
The drop-down sun visor provides convenient on-the-fly sun protection. It can be easily deployed or retracted using a slider mechanism, allowing riders to adapt to changing light conditions without stopping.
What type of chin strap does this helmet use?
This helmet features a traditional and secure Double D-ring fastening system, which is a standard for racing and high-performance helmets.
How do I ensure the best fit?
It is highly recommended to try the helmet on before purchasing. Ensure it fits snugly without any pressure points. The cheek pads should lightly touch your cheeks, and the helmet should not move excessively when you shake your head.
Troubleshooting
Visor fogs up despite Pinlock
Ensure the Pinlock Max Vision lens is correctly and securely installed onto the main visor posts. Check that the rubber edge of the Pinlock is creating a good seal. Make sure the main visor is clean.
Sun visor is difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions around the sun visor mechanism. Gently operate the slider, ensuring it moves freely. If persistent, contact customer support.
Chin strap is uncomfortable or too loose
Adjust the length of the chin strap by re-threading the Double D-rings. Ensure a snug fit that does not restrict breathing or cause excessive pressure. The strap should not be loose enough to allow the helmet to shift significantly.
Noise inside the helmet at speed
Ensure all components, including the visor and cheek pads, are properly seated. Check that the chin curtain (if equipped) is correctly installed. Helmet noise can also be subjective and influenced by bike aerodynamics; consider earplugs for long rides.
