freedomnow Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Was told Shark are the brand to go for in the 5-8000 range ? Good safety ratings in tests etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Good helmets. They're my preferred choice for Street helmets in Thailand. I have 3, a Spartan Carbon, a Speed-R and a S600. The S600 is in the 5-8000 range (or it was when I bought it) and I use it in Bangkok as I don't like leaving a 20,000 Baht helmet on the bike when I park up somewhere. It's held up really well, still looks pretty much new after 3 years of medium/lightish use. They do well in safety ratings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 A very controversial subject m/c helmets IMO. I use to have Shark helmets in UK because I liked the style and fit for my bonce shape. Only own one at a time because when say replacement is recommended every 5 years some 3 years it's daft owning more than one, unless there's a good reason. In Thailand found the H2C a nice fit for my head and under 3000 baht has internal sun visor plus clear outer visor, not as heavy as my Caberg helmet which I brought from UK 14 years ago which I still wear on my scoot sometimes. If you like Shark OP go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannot Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) I have a Shark Race carbon pro or summat in red looks great but they arent cheap..............then again my heads expensive so needs protecting.........I think it was about 18-20k baht 3 years ago.......yeah I like red. Only thing i remember from me yooooooooooouf is that you must put the helmet on and not be able to pull it off yer head when done up, done by trying to pull from behind.

mark131v Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Really don't think you can go wrong with Shark, even their cheaper models are very highly rated: https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/helmets/?manufacturer=Shark&model=All&type=1 Cost to quality to safety rating are very high if they fit your bonce then you won't go wrong compared to their more pricey jap counterparts: https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/helmets/?manufacturer=Arai&model=All&type=1 https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/helmets/?manufacturer=Shoei&model=All&type=1 Edited February 8, 2019 by mark131v better link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
