[@garthhowe297]

I'm thinking all future helmet reviews should have a "Scare the kids" category, and a rating from one to five. LOL

[@jon98tj]

Agree, love that.

[@brooktini79]

Are you using the clear visor that came with the helmet in your test ride? It looks tinted during the ride.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It's the standard visor that came with it....

[@27Dionysis]

Hi. Great video, thanks for wearing it in and coming back with what you learned. If only all review videos were as comprehensive. I’m looking for a helmet for a trip up the east coast of africa. Think this might be the go. Can you tell me how it went in the rain? Does the chin guard keep your face dry, or is it just for bugs/wind? Thanks mate.

[@benhastain8823]

Hey TMF, cheers for the review. I’m not a fan of open face lids, but I’m currently on the look out for a new helmet as we speak. I’m just wondering what you’d tend to lead towards when it comes to touring. I like flip up helmets simply for ease of use when it comes to petrol stations, but would you opt for this or a full face helmet? I too use Sports Bike Shop, and would appreciate your thoughts. As always...loving the channel and content!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Ben - I use an Arai X4 when touring as it goes with the style of my touring bike (A BMW GS).....and Sportsbike shop are brill, I find their service and prices excellent (and they don't pay me or sponsor me to say that...!)

[@AleksiJoensuu]

My worst crash in my entire 17 years of biking was on my small Suzuki PV 50cc. I was doing maybe 40 kph when I did the classic move: Wet leaves in fall, too fast into the corner, slide, loose the throttle, and get catapulted on a highside. Well, as far you can get catapulted from a 650mm seat height, right? Well, turns out pretty far! I estimate I must have flown for about two meters, and landed DIRECTLY on my jaw, BANG. Got up, shook my head a bit, ran to the bike. Picked up my 65kg bike on my pudgy yet weak 15y boy's arms like it weighed as much as toddler's threewheeler. Adrenaline works wonders. Then I promptly collapsed for a bit, and walked the bike home. I can say, I'm pretty damn happy I was wearing a full face helmet even on that tiny moped that doesn't go very fast that I only rode in town! I imagine I might look a little different. I condemn no-one for wearing an open faced helmet. I'm just here as a cautionary tale: You can crash HARD on bikes even when you're just cruising the town. Full faced helmets are not just for canyon carving and track days ;)

[@xtc2v]

Paralysis and incontinence awaits every time you risk being run over. If you worry so much just about your jaw how the hell to you find the courage to get on two wheels and out onto the road?

[@dsimon9s29]

Thanks for the video and the review. For which safety standard tests has the helmet been approved? In Europe you have the ECE (I think), but with Brexit taking place (or is it?) does the UK still conform to the ECE or do you have a different standard? Thanks in advance.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No idea to be honest - sorry!

[@hudsonrilke]

With the heat here I have to use an open face around town. How cool is this with the mask on? Looks great, think the old one looks meaner.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice and cool - plenty of room around the mask for circulation.....

[@4thHorseman]

Sir, I have a question. I have an intercom Midland BTX2 PRO. Would I mount it in this helmet? It is enough space between a mask and the lips for a microphone?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes there is....

[@TheStrummer68]

At the risk of sounding like a harbinger of doom it is naive to think an open face is ‘the way to go’ at any time.i am currently recovering from a broken back , I was waiting to turn right when a van rear ended me, he was travelling at 25mph , my chin bar took most of the impact when I hit the tarmac which would have left me with facial injuries as well .i too love buying helmets but my open face days are over

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

...hope you recover soon - as I said several times in the video, I get the full face v open face argument....we all have to make our own choice.

[@travelandfestivals]

How does the fit compare to MT streetfighter helmet? I tried the latter and my jaw and nose dont fit

[@dyno4mance]

Who makes the Jacket you are wearing with the white "7" on it..is it a bike specific jacket with armour?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It’s an old Frank Thomas design called “cafe racer” - and yes it’s bike specific/armoured...no longer available I think, had it about 8 years.

[@martinfrost3596]

Nice looking lid, though a little scary looking. On a different subject : Aside from looks, which bike was more fun to ride. The Kawasaki R900RS or the KTM 790 Duke.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I preferred the R900RS - Cooler looking, smoooth engine and more comfortable on a long run....

[@patfrazer]

Do you know if we can install an optional peak on it? Its seems to have 3 connector for that... Thanks...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I don’t know!

[@samuelgillard2196]

Nice summary, you're right about the purpose of these helmets, love the looks but... I had the Raw and sold it after a few weeks, I just didn't feel safe at anything over about 30mph.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching as ever Sam!

[@disekjoumoer]

One thing that I seems totally over presented and is quite possibly a failure in hot summer weather, is to wear black clothing, including black helmets. Black gets much hotter, much faster in the sun. However, its "coolness" factor makes the sales, I suppose.

[@spadaspares]

glad I was sat down when you said the price!

[@conorsheeran481]

what jacket are you wearing on the bike ride?

[@riotofmyown]

I have trouble getting the mouth guard clipped in fully with a mirror, never mind out and about. So it's easier to put it on first and pull over my head. Fiddly. So it's then like a full-face without the safety or weather proofing of a full-face. I expect to wear it a couple of times and then go back to my DMD 75 with goggles in the summer (so good I bought two) and my X-Lite flip-ups (ditto) in winter.

[@nimrod6603]

Cool without the faceshield, totally ridiculous with the faceshield. 🤢 Somebody mentioned it looks like a fighterpilothelmet. Well I used to be a fighterpilot and I can’t remember my helmet looking like that😄 Good review though👍🏻

[@Solrak8O]

Nimrod MiG pilot helmet

[@nimrod6603]

Ha ha😄

[@fantastic1965]

Is this lid (esp the raw) just an expensive play on the motorcross face mask/goggles combo?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes probably, it is a styling exercise and I personally like it - I get it's not for everyone though...

[@michaelevans1658]

What i like about open face helmets is the extra side vision you get . Yes like you i wear both types of helmet full face winter open summer.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I agree!

[@Astartesdave]

Standard issue to all of Cobra commanders henchmen 😂

[@pinkiewerewolf]

All hail Cobra Commander! I'd like to hear TMF's evil cackle as he donned the helmet.

[@dougie1325]

They certainly look cool, though my riding mates would have hours of fun taking the mick out of me if I rocked up wearing one. On another note that summer jacket you were wearing looked great. What make is that TMF?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

...it's an old Heine Gerrick one, remember them?

[@steve-wu7jp]

Is shark quality as good as Shoei or Arai? I have a GT air Shoei and this is a cool second helmet

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I think so yes....certainly based on this and the other Shark helmets I have own(ed)

[@t4ketsuru]

This is probably a daft question. How does it perform in the rain, say while you're riding down to town and all of a sudden it rain what;s it like.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Just a bit of a pain wiping the visor but so far no issues - although to be fair Ive not worn it in a heavy downpour...

[@garethlewis3743]

Dear TMF, I’ve been looking at the leatt stx road neck brace or an airbag waistcoat. I would be interested to know your views on the subject. 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I've never tried one so can't really comment....

[@twogotikitouring6940]

Excellent balanced review TMF and as ‘grown ups’ we are all capable of making our own decisions as to what we wear when riding. I think because we have become a nation of ‘wrapped in cotton wool’ we sometimes forget that choice is an option open to all so long as it is legal and proportionate. To be honest though I think you are far more likely to scare children and old ladies with your helmet off than you are with it on 🤣 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I was going to say I completely agree with you until I read the last sentence!! ;0)

[@jamsxr]

Love the look but I’d never were an open face helmet unless I’m on my push bike, even then I’ve got a full face for the downhill stuff!

[@SpikeyOfficial]

Always liked the shark raw. But with wearing a go pro it’s impossible to put one on it without it loosing that awesome factor 😂

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Good point!

[@thor8640]

If it is real carbon it has to be super light, did you weigh the lid by chance? At that price I am also out for this cruising to Starbucks open, loose your chin lid. Then again, some may argue i could loose some chin.......

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It is real carbon and it is super light - although I haven’t actually weighed it....

[@samiam8779]

Looks good TMF, but I'll think I'll stick with my Shoei Neotec. Best of both worlds. I often ride with it in the flipped position on sunny Sydney days. (Mind you the other day it hit 43° and I found it cooler with the chin guard down.) Have you tried a Neotec? (The original has the double D chin strap, while the newer Neotec 2 has the less comfortable ratchet style chin strap.)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No I haven’t - though I am a Shoei fan.....

[@aniamej3514]

Is the S DRAK is slimmer/smaller outer shell than SHARK RAW?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I’d say it’s about the same - certainly slimmer than a “normal” helmet...

[@aniamej3514]

@@TheMissendenFlyer i have also shark raw...which one you like more, raw or s drak?

[@Screamingtilltheend]

Looks like a really nice helmet, just personally couldn't take the risk and go open face but I imagine it's heaven in summer

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It's been amazing in all this hot weather I must say......I get the open face issues though...

[@gcrockford8191]

Never worn a full face, mind you i only ride cruisers. SO i like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevewood9288]

Please can you advise what mesh jacket you was wearing with the number 7 on

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It's an old Heine Gerrick number....

[@martinfrost3596]

What do you reckon to the Kwaka RS Cafe version. Saw one in the showroom, now I cant' stop thinking about it :-)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I'm not a fan of any Cafe racer styling...I prefer the vanilla bike personally...

[@martinfrost3596]

TheMissendenFlyer I absolutely love it

[@Dankeller69]

The price we pay for fashion... am I right men? Is the front impact rated ? For rocks etc

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You are correct - how I suffer to be a fashion leader!! ...and no, this is an open face helmet from a protection perspective...

[@ChompsLewis]

I think the front is designed to protect from rocks, bugs and wind but an crash impact direct to the chin and the insert would just fly off.

[@Parahax420]

Good review, you covered all the bases. Thank you. 😀👍🏼

[@elithegreat6463]

Looks amazing 👍, These type of Helmets do give a false sense of Security. However on my Harley Low RiderS, to go bar hopping, it’s looks great 👍

[@xtc2v]

A full face is more likely to give a false sense of security. Its almost if you forget the rest of your body inside its moist, stuffy and high CO2 atmosphere

[@Solrak8O]

Good to see the new shark helmet has a built in visor and improved mask as I found the Raw mask flimsy and the googles a pain to remove/attach to the helmet. I had the shark raw helmet but sold it due to being suited to intermediate oval type head shape when my previous shark helmets are usually suited to long oval (my shape) shame as it looks the biz! New version looks great too

[@ChannelNobby]

Recently bought this helmet (different colour) and that "little bit of optimal distortion" from the bottom of the visor is actually terrible, especially compared to my older closed face SHOEI G force helmet. The S Drak is half the price of the G force and obviously open face, so my skin doesn't react to the daily wearing but I found my back starting to hurt from constantly having to look down to compensate the visor blocking my view of the rpm/speedometer. Does anyone know if the visor can be replaced with a different style? Located in Sydney, Australia if anyone has a link / knows a retailer. P.S. great review

[@RossMalagarie]

I looked on the US.Shark-Helmets.com and there is no S Drak helmet listed? Is it only on the EU site?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Possibly....

[@nicholasknibbs8162]

I like it in it's place, a quiet bimble, but the price is a bit salty. Your into very good full face price point there. Great review as always TMF.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Nicholas, thanks for watching.....

[@abdulrahmandaily1635]

Can i setup gopro in the front ?

[@robertakerson7186]

This is an interesting alternative type of helmet. I too note the vast increase in field of vision with open faced helmets, and curiously they can be very quite as well. These are positive trade-offs for the lesser face protection compared to a full faced lid. If possible could you consider a review of the Davida line of helmets too? Thanks for your fun videos, Bob

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

If I had one I would! Cheers for the kind words Bob - all the best....TMF

[@ItsBeenDanBefore]

Whilst I wouldn't really consider riding in an open face, I would like to have either the Shark Drak or that Scorpion Exo Combat helmet as a pootle helmet. Problem is, though, is that the pricing is wrong, in my personal opinion. In an open face helmet (probably polycarb) with a set of goggles and a mask, I'd expect to be paying around £150 to £170, not upwards of £200 when I could get the carbon race version of my current helmet for that same price. If they dropped the prices to a more reasonable level, then I think they would be a hell of a lot more popular with most types of riders, not just those with a bit more dosh. I think for any open face helmet, the price shouldn't exceed £180, unless it was full carbon, which is where the current price tag would be a lot more sensible.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

it IS full carbon!!

[@ItsBeenDanBefore]

TheMissendenFlyer But does that constitute a £300+ price tag when you can get carbon full faces for the same, if not less, money?

[@82phalanX]

I wonder if the Shark guys will update the Vancore as well. Give the AGV AX8 a go and let us know your thoughts. As always, lovely stuff..

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers!

[@ora10053]

what jacket did you have there when riding?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It's an old Heine Gerrick I think....had it about 7 years, they don't make 'em any more....no Frank Thomas, that's the one...

[@noordinaryjoe1414]

TMF, I wonder if, during your collecting of lids over the years, you have considered donating old and unusable lids to your local Fire Service? Often, they like donated lids so they can practice removing them from crash victims etc. Just a thought mate. Cheers, Joe.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I have thought of that but so far have always held onto them for decoration purposes! Must stop that though as I have quite a few that are over 5 years old now and effectively past their use by date...

[@RICHARD10195]

The Caberg Ghost is still a nicer looking helmet with a slightly nicer interior lining in my opinion however I’ve still not bought one of these as a casual helmet because the price seems about £100 over priced for something with style over substance, the search for a new helmet continues.......

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching Richard....

[@iamcaferacer]

Wish they made a smoked out visor im getting the x-drak soon

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes that would be good....

[@ChompsLewis]

I wish they could reinforce the detachable part to make it more like a full face. Might be worth the price then, not be tge most expensive out there but still a good chunk of cash to me.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes, it's a quality bit of kit and not a "cheap" helmet for sure....but as you say, neither is it the cost of some of the premium brands...

I have 2 words for you, Shark Vancore

[@rohit1510]

Awesome reviews. Just loved the video. Thanks a ton. Guys , Anyone bought this helmet in 2021? I have a question if someone can kindly assist please. I bought Drak 2 in turquoise colour to match my Harley 2020 Sportglide in tahitian teal. When helmet arrived it is mentioned "Metalic Green". It's not matching but it is an awesome helmet. Anyone knows if drak 2 doesn't comes in teal/turquoise? If yes I would like to have link?

Nice lid mate. Its good lookin. The women will almost faint with excitement over anyone wearing this post vaderish custume piece for sure.

Yes open face rarely looks good in my opinion - this one is acceptable though...

[@bayls8422]

Great review. Sorry have to comment, I'm still inclined to think wearing an open face helmet is the same as wearing a singlet shorts and thongs (flip flops) on any bike. You never know when your going to get knocked. Safety 1st because it just ain't worth the risk kids.

Were you out tea time?..think I followed you back.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nope not me I'm afraid - didn't get out on any bike today :0(

[@fermitupoupon1754]

Despite it being a carbon fibre helmet, I still think 300 quid is rather steep for that. Surely for that kind of cash they could have given you a chinbar that could pass a P-homologation.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I think £300 for a carbon fibre helmet is reasonable and the style is open face - but I take your point and thanks for watching....

[@fermitupoupon1754]

I'm probably a bit biased, as my daily driver is a Nolan N44 Evo. The chin bar on that helmet does pass P-homologation. Though when it's hot outside I still ride with just the drop down sun visor and peak. No chin bar at all. So yeah I can definitely see the benefits of an open face helmet.

[@supercharged3975]

The visor on this one is far to light for sunny days and you can't get a darker one .

[@Nogitsune_Yako]

Great option for electric scooter

[@VaiGo]

I really like the helmet

Sorry but I've fell off enough bikes in my younger years to know , open face helmets have no place on the road no matter the speed.

[@RichardEricCollins]

Never hurt me, I used open face when I did a lot of offroad many moons ago, falling off was my default state. Each to his own.

[@stepirate]

If you've fell off enough bikes your doing it wrong.

[@112oxford]

The choice is yours.

[@xtc2v]

You are more likely to have an accident in a full face helmet. They have poor peripheral vision, no visor to block low winter sun and they fog up. They are more difficult to remove by emergency services and you are likely to drown in your own vomit if you are rendered unconscious.

Review Boen Detachable chin

[@at0m113]

Just my personal opinion -- the styling on this helmet is a bit "try hard." It's like -- you're already on a bike. If you can't look cool by the bike you ride, the other gear you wear, and a "normal" helmet (which can have cool lines, tinted face shields, etc anyways!), I'm not sure what you're doing wrong! Of course, I've always been the minimalist, unflashy type who pulls the sillier decals off his bike and gear.

Fair enough, I get it's not for everyone....

Regarding open faced, full faced helmets and the law, if you are a rider and follow the Sikh religion, my understanding is that it is admissible to wear a turban on a motorcycle. If you think about it, at the end of the day, the only person who is going to be harmed is you. Awesome looking helmet. Kindest regards. A82 Joe.

Cheers Joe - appreciate your positive comments and watching as ever - all the best - TMF

Only those Sikh men who "always"wear a turban are exempt from the 1972 helmet laws.and the vast majority of them only ride low power machines.👍

5mph or 50mph your gonna lose your jaw. I know you said no comments, but I had to have the last word.

...I knew this would open a can of worms - my attempts to quell the "open face is for losers" comments failed miserably.....oh well.
