Shark Speed-R Helmet - Solid Colors SHARK is proud to present a new philosophy. Utilizing all SHARKs expertise in safety, innovation and function the SPEED -R is a helmet specifically designed to meet the passionate demands of un-faired motorcycle riders. Double blade air spoiler positioned at the rear of the Speed-R, it allows the air to flow above and below the blade, hence the dual venturi effect to extract warm air from the helmet. Spoiler/stabilizer at its rear base trim the Speed-R has a spoiler, which stabilizes the helmet ans the cancels the buffering effect. The immediate benefit is no air turbulence running inside the helmet and greater stability at a steady speed.

I really love this helmet, it is much lighter than my previous one. The air flow is great, this is especially great during the summer months. If you add the chin guard during the winter time, it greatly decreases airflow and keeps the helmet a lot warmer. The design is overall pretty aerodynamic. I haven't had any head bobble issues like I did with my last helmet. I got an XL because I wear an XL in other brands. I would say that it fits well, but not perfect. I think a large would have been a little too tight, but I have a very circular head, this helmet seems to be right inbetween at that "intermediate oval" which can work for both head shapes.
Overall, you can't beat the price for the style and the practicality. Best part: the visor actually comes down all the way, works, and looks awesome!

What is the real weight of this helmet (shark speed-r)

i look on the internet and found that the 1450gr +or- 50gr is far from the reality. People told they weight 1600 to 1700 gr ??? Do you guy weight this helmet ? Thank's for your help and knowledge
It probably depends on the size, my XL weighs 1650 g as labelled on the helmet. This is considerably lighter than my last full-face, it also feels nice and light when in use -- granted this doesn't change the actual weight.
