Shark
Shark was founded by two ex-racer brothers in Marseille and has been building on that racing pedigree since 1986. Every helmet here is certified to ECE 22.06.
André and Robert Teston founded Shark in 1986, both former professional racers who wanted to build the safest, highest performing helmet possible from what they'd learned on track. The brand's early breakthrough was the XRC Carbon, the world's first mass produced full face helmet built from carbon fibre, and Raymond Roche's 1990 Superbike World Championship win wearing a Shark helped put the brand on the map globally.
That racing background still shows in the range, aerodynamic shells, models built specifically around ventilation for hot climates, and a line up that runs from accessible everyday helmets through to premium carbon options. Every Shark helmet sold here carries the latest ECE 22.06 certification. Browse full face, modular and carbon fibre Shark helmets in the Helmets collection above.
