Review Detail

Construction wise the Shark Race-R Pro is very high end,lightweight and filled with technical materials so had a few of the minor flaws have not annoyed me it would have been up there near perfect. The same goes with the graphics which are actually very good but miss some of the depth found in other brands ranges.

Ventilation wise it performs excellently and scores to match, in terms of value for money you need to remember that this is a top of the range helmet, aimed at racers, containing technical materials and construction techniques and it is toward the lower end of the price spectrum for similar, premium brands. To put it bluntly it offers superb value for money.

The visor system is an easy, few second off, few second on again affair which again stands it in great stead and overall I rate it well. For me it is still my regular choice of helmet but if they had done something different with the RSR2 carbon style shell again I would probably have raved about it - something about the shape was just so, Shark!

I digress, the Race-R Pro is a very worthy helmet to sit on the top pedestal of Shark's product range and absolutely recommended if you are looking for the high end of helmets for your money.
