FAQs

What makes the ECE 22-06 certification significant?

ECE 22-06 is the latest European safety standard, featuring more rigorous testing procedures including rotational impact tests, multi-impact tests, and testing at higher speeds compared to the previous ECE 22-05 standard. It signifies a higher level of tested safety.

How do I clean the interior lining?

The ALVEOTECH interior is removable. Hand wash it gently in cool water with a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before placing it back in the helmet. Do not use bleach or place it in a washing machine or dryer.

Is the Pinlock MaxVision lens included with the helmet?

Yes, the Shark Spartan GT Pro Carbon Helmet comes with the Pinlock MaxVision lens included, ensuring excellent anti-fog performance.

Can I install a Bluetooth communication system?

Yes, the helmet is designed with provisions to accommodate most popular Bluetooth communication systems. Check for dedicated speaker pockets or channels if you plan to install a system.

How does the emergency release system work?

The Shark Emergency Release System allows trained medical personnel to quickly and safely remove the helmet's cheek pads, thereby easing helmet removal without causing further injury to the rider's neck or spine in case of an accident.

What is the difference between the two shell sizes?

The helmet is offered in two shell sizes to provide a more optimized fit. A smaller shell is used for smaller helmet sizes (e.g., XS-M), and a larger shell for larger helmet sizes (e.g., L-XXL), contributing to both aesthetics and safety performance.

Is this helmet suitable for racing?

Yes, the helmet is ACU Gold Certified, which is a requirement for racing in many countries, indicating it meets stringent performance and safety standards for track use.

Troubleshooting

Main visor fogs up despite Pinlock.

Ensure the Pinlock MaxVision lens is correctly seated against the main visor. Check that the small pins on the main visor are fully engaged with the Pinlock and that there are no gaps. Ensure the helmet's ventilation is open.

Internal sun visor is difficult to operate.

Check for any obstructions in the sun visor's track. Ensure the helmet is clean internally. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.

Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points.

The helmet may need a break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider trying thicker or thinner cheek pads (available separately) to fine-tune the fit, or ensure you have selected the correct helmet size based on head circumference measurements.

Double D-ring strap is uncomfortable.

Adjust the strap so it is snug but not digging into your neck. Ensure the strap is positioned flat against your skin. Some riders find a chin curtain helps improve comfort.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets the latest ECE 22-06 safety standard for superior protection.
  • Lightweight yet strong construction using carbon fiber and fiberglass.
  • Excellent visibility with a high-quality anti-scratch and anti-fog visor system.
  • Integrated sun visor adds convenience for varying light conditions.
  • Advanced aerodynamic design reduces wind noise and fatigue.
  • Emergency release system enhances rider safety in critical situations.

Cons

  • Two shell sizes might limit the absolute perfect fit for a very niche range of head shapes compared to helmets with more shell options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure the helmet fits snugly and comfortably. The internal padding should feel firm but not painful. The Double D-Ring Fastening should be adjusted so that the strap is tight enough to prevent the helmet from rolling forward or backward, but not so tight as to cause discomfort.
  2. Visor Operation: Familiarize yourself with the main visor mechanism and the lever for the internal sun visor. Ensure the Pinlock MaxVision lens is correctly installed on the main shield for optimal anti-fog performance.

Compatibility:

  • ECE 22-06 & ACU Gold Certified: Compatible with legal road use in regions adhering to ECE 22-06 standards and suitable for track days requiring ACU Gold approval.
  • Communication Systems: Designed to accommodate most aftermarket Bluetooth communication systems. Check for specific channel or recess compatibility if using a bulky unit.

Care:

  • Exterior: Clean the shell with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or paint.
  • Visor: Clean the main shield and sun visor with a soft, damp cloth. Use a dedicated visor cleaner or mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals. The anti-scratch coating can be damaged by abrasive materials.
  • Interior: The Sanitized-Certified ALVEOTECH Interior is removable and can be hand-washed in cool water with mild detergent. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Ventilation Ports: Keep ventilation openings clear of debris to ensure proper airflow.
