Shark Race R Pro GP Helmet Review | Sportbike Track Gear

[@shahrammayar755]

I had a really bad accident and this helmet literally saved my life.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Shark makes a great product, happy to hear you were wearing a good lid. - Van

[@motolife8737]

Great video! I am a rep for Shark Helmets and I could not have done better job. The helmet is amazing on the track as you stated. Very quiet and snug for performance. Ventilation is awesome and adjustable for hot or cold days. No buffeting at speed and great visibility. I wish we had some guys wearing this in MotoAmerica but hopefully, that will change soon. Thanks for the support.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thank you for watching and sharing your feedback. - Van

[@MotoTweak]

It's the coolest looking helmet in motoGP.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

That spoiler is pretty epic. - Van

[@suntony0446]

The only bad thing is that is doesn't come with pinlock the visor is really easily scratched on the inside. During rainy days I experience it fogging up. Otherwise, this is the best helmet I've had. The others that I've tried are shoei gt air 2 and bell race star.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

For sure Shark makes a quality helmet. - Van

[@andremartin4259]

I'm currently helmet shopping and torn between this helmet and the bell race star DLX

[@nicoperso2]

Hi Brian, nice review, what about the viewport compared to a pista gp rr? and which one do you prefer ( track use only)? thanks!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The Pista has the absolute largest eyeport on the market. It is so big it is almost too big for many. I feel the eyeport on this Shark is excellent. - Van

[@richardburns9772]

What size is your “shark fin?”

[@sportbiketrackgear]

No idea what you are talking about. Shark has their US distribution all sideways right now. - Van

[@richardburns9772]

You got a bend in your shark fin like Free Willy?

I’m really thorn between this and the Scorpion exo r1 air… could you advice which would be best? The Exo R1 i really like it because of the fabio quartararo design and inflatable cheek pads.. while the thick visor and that huge spoiler on the shark leads me to believe it would be more aerodynamic and quiet then the exo r1, would mostly use on the street with a few times a year on track. ( Currently I own a AGV Corsa R but it was a stretch when ai bought it as the shape is not best for me.. now I put some weight and can’t even close my mouth properly so time to change probably something less pointy🤣Thanks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This and the EXO R1 Air are both excellent helmets. I would say the Shark is a little nicer as it should be considering the large price difference. The shield is nicer on the Shark and it will be quieter. Only you can decide if this is enough to justify the difference in price. - Van

[@1990-t1j]

No need for a track helmet myself, but it looks great quality.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

For sure Shark makes a nice helmet. IMO their price point stuff is only ok but when you get the the Race R Pro this helmet is top shelf. - Van

[@axelverite982]

Best helmet in the market! I own 2 of them

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The Shark Race helmets are some of the best for sure. - Van

[@speedstylez1243]

Great helmet, but my only complaint was I felt like I couldn’t breath well in it

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Shark uses the largest chin curtains in their race helmet. With the previous model I ended up modifying the chin curtain to open this area up. - Van

[@MotoTweak]

I bought the black one last week. Hope it comes soon

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Let us know how you like it after you ride in it. - Van

[@Toxicdemon2]

I still have my Tom Sykes Race R pro replica. And yes??? I never had any otheer helmet that was that quiet.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

100% the Shark Race R Pro is the most quiet race helmet on the market. - Van

[@MrBrwzah]

Even though the levers are in the locked position,the right side of my shield tends to slide out of place everytime I try to shut the visor down. Anyone else have this issue?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Sorry, we have not ran into this issue with the Shark. - Van

[@leventeyuboglu4501]

Hi Brian ! I need your opinion again. this or x-fourteen for semi naked bike? mostly fast street riding, no track days. I have rf1400 already but want to buy second helmet for better stability also don't want to gave up on noise isolation. both helmets fits my head well. I had race r pro carbon few years back which didn't impress me, was riding 675r with db screen. is that spoiler adds so much of performance ? I think the liner, chin curtain and neck pad has a little improved over time but how it compares the stable x-fourteen?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The X-14 has some amazing aerodynamics which makes it a great option for a naked bike. We have some excellent pricing on the 14's now. Shoot Max Van an email on [e-mail] and he will get you all dialed in. - Van

[@atk5360]

Hey Brian, I’m considering buying this helmet to replace my HJC RPHA 11 which is a size S (55-56)…so my question being should i go for the same size with this one too? I don’t have the option to try it out in store so I’ll be importing it to my country…cheers..!!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

IMO the HJC RPHA 11 runs a touch to the big side. Not enough that most need to change sizes, just a little large. I would suggest taking a good measurement and ordering the corresponding size using the Shark size chart. I find this helmet to run true to size, just a little smaller than the model you noted. - Van

[@vsgsxr]

Hello Brian, Thanks for excellent & honest review, agv k6 or hjc rpha 11 pro for street riding, below 600$ . Vs

[@sportbiketrackgear]

@@sportbiketrackgear i will find size and color , thank you.

[@DavourisRX8]

Honesty. This or shoei X15?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

While this is a good helmet I feel the X-15 is the best one on the market today. - Van

Will you guys have cheek pads available for this helmet?

We do not have any of the liners listed for this helmet yet. Looking to get that done this week. - Van
