FAQs

What helmets is this Shark Pinlock insert compatible with?

This insert is primarily designed for Shark helmets such as the Vision-R GT Carbon, Vision-R, Explore-R, S700-S, and S900-C. It is compatible with over 400 helmet types, but it's recommended to check specific compatibility if your helmet is not a listed Shark model.

How does the Pinlock insert prevent fogging?

The Pinlock insert is made from a porous, moisture-absorbing material. When attached to the inside of your helmet visor, it creates an airtight chamber that traps air, acting as an insulator and preventing condensation from forming on the visor's inner surface.

Can I clean the Pinlock insert with regular cleaning sprays?

No, it is recommended to use only a soft, damp cloth or mild soap and water. Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners can damage the moisture-absorbing properties of the insert.

Is the Pinlock insert difficult to install?

The installation process is designed to be straightforward. It involves aligning the insert with the small pins on the inside of the helmet visor and gently pressing it into place.

What does 'interchangeable' mean for this insert?

It means you can easily remove the current Pinlock insert and replace it with another. This allows for swapping different lens colors (e.g., tinted, mirrored) or replacing a worn-out insert.

Does the Pinlock insert offer UV protection?

Yes, the Pinlock insert provides 100% UV protection, helping to shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.

How often should I clean the Pinlock insert?

For optimal performance, it's best to clean the Pinlock insert regularly, especially after rides in dusty or wet conditions. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient for daily maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Visor is still fogging slightly

Ensure the Pinlock insert is properly seated and creating a full seal against the visor. Check that the silicone bead is intact and clean. Clean the inside of the main visor and the Pinlock insert.

Pinlock insert is difficult to attach

Make sure the helmet visor is in the fully open position. Verify that the helmet visor pins are clean and unobstructed. Ensure you are aligning the insert correctly with the pins.

Scratches on the Pinlock insert

While designed to be scratch-resistant, deep scratches can still occur. Clean the insert gently. For significant scratches affecting visibility, replacement may be necessary.

Insert does not seem to create an airtight seal

Check for any debris or foreign objects between the insert and the visor. Ensure the silicone edge of the Pinlock is not damaged. Re-seat the insert carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Care:
