Shark Spartan RS

If you’re in the market for a new all-rounder motorcycle helmet, perhaps look no further than SHARK’s latest Spartan RS helmet, introduced in September last year.

  • SHARK’s latest Spartan RS meets the new ECE22.05 homologation standard.
  • Every SHARK helmet range comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty. 

However, as we are two months away from 2023, SHARK has updated its Spartan RS with a new carbon fibre shell.

Carbon fibre shell is popular among riders as it is strong as its fibreglass counterpart and much lighter. 

More importantly, despite the lighter shell, the SHARK Spartan RS Carbon still meets the ECE22.06 homologation standard. That said, the new carbon fibre shell only weighs 1,480grams in size medium. 

Also, the Spartan RS is designed to have minimal buffering at high speeds, which SHARK capitalize on its motorsport efforts in MotoGP.

The helmet also features seven air vents, three at the front and four at the back.

Interestingly, the visor is also thicker and straight from the SHARK Race-R Pro GP helmet.

The visor is also rated optical Class 1, which means the rider is provided with an undistorted view. Pinlock 120 Max Vision is also included in the box as standard.

Other notable features include:

  • anti-microbial and anti-odour Alveotech fabric liner
  • removable/washable cheek pads
  • secured with a double D-ring retention system

As usual, every SHARK helmet comes with a 5-year warranty. In Europe, the new Spartan RS Carbon is priced at EUR436.99. 

Shark Spartan range is among the most popular from the French manufacturer thanks to its versatility to accommodate sports bikes and touring riders.

While the Spartan remains a popular choice, Shark Helmets decided it’s time for an upgrade to meet the latest ECE 22.06 safety ratings.

The Spartan RS is the first Shark helmet to meet the ECE 22.06 ratings, setting a new high for the brand’s 2022 lineup.

Nonetheless, Shark retained several key elements from the previous-gen Spartan, including the carbon fibre and fibreglass shell, UV380 sun visor and Pinlock 120 MaxVision insert.

Thanks to a new VZ 300 visor, the Spartan RS now achieves an optical class 1 rating, the highest certification for reduced optical distortion.

It also features a new 4-point anchoring system taken from the flagship Race-R Pro GP helmet.

Other features include:

  • retractable sun visor
  • three air intakes and four air vents
  • removable Alveotech interior
  • removable chin curtain
  • Shark EasyFit (for riders that wears glasses)

The Shark Spartan RS is available from XS and XXL and price at EUR349.99 (RM1.6k).
