Shark Helmets are probably the highest engineering safety helmets available in the world. The France based company spends a tremendous amount of its resources on integrating safety into their Shark motorcycle helmets.
The first step in ensuring your safety is through their extensive safety research. Shark combines the knowledge from three critical safety areas:
1. Crash and head injury dynamics
2. Materials performance and analysis
3. Racing experience
The second step in providing top quality products is Shark Helmet's product development. Do very rigid or more flexible structures make the safest helmet? This is the current debate among motorcycle helmet manufacturers. The debate was further fueled by Motorcyclist Magazine's comparison of helmets where the softer shells did better in laboratory testing than most high price helmets with rigid shells. Impact management is the dissipation of impact energy over a larger area coupled with flexible absorption of energy by the motorcycle helmet. Recent developments in automotive safety incorporate crumple zones to dramatically improve crash management. Rather than a rigid structure, an effective design absorbs the energy into the structure to reduce the amount of energy reaching the decelerating body. Helmet safety works by following the same principle. The Shark Helmet principle is to use a TEC shell (different structures for different areas) on the outside of the helmet and fin shocks on the inside of the helmet
The final step in ensuring a safe helmet is through demanding quality control. Shark Helmets ensures that each helmet delivers the effective safety and comfort desired by demanding customers. All production and assembly is done in Shark Helmet factories where quality can be controlled. More than 15% of Shark Helmet's total staff is dedicated solely to quality control.
All of these factors combined allow Shark Helmet to offer a 5 year manufacturer's warranty. This is unheard of in the motorcycle helmet industry. As a general rule, a motorcycle helmet should be replaced every 5 years unless damaged then it should be replaced sooner. A 5 year manufacturer's warranty covers the Shark Helmet for the FULL LIFE of the helmet! Now you can understand why the Shark Helmet is in such high demand among track riders and racers.
