Shark helmet Q's
I'm actually looking around for helmets and, of course, my favorites are Shoei (Z-Two) and Arai (Quantum). However, the Shark helmets are recently being imported in Canada (from France I think). I am looking at the RSR black model and am wondering if any over-the-pound rider have some input about this helmet. Its retail is the same than a black Shoei Z-Two but I could maybe got it a large rebate. Thanks for any info!

I drooled over it when I first saw it, but got a new Arai instead!

My issue with the Shark is face shields, parts and service. Go to any AMA race and Arai is there. They will service the helmet replace parts etc. Not to sure on parts and service for the Shark. Plus the other issue unless things have changed the Shark was / is not a legal helmet in most venues in the states. Not Snell ot Ansi approved. AMA tech inspectors don't like that!
They do have some cool looking replicas. BUt I am quite happy with my Arais.

I understand those concerns. However, do you know how they are regarding comfort, noise, fit, ease of use, etc... Thanks to you!

While I have seen and looked at the Sharks. I have not tried one out nor know of anyone that has. Can't give any feedback on that one.
