Shark RSI helmet

[cearnshaw]

I was al set to go down the Arai route when I nipped into our local dealer and tried a Shark RSI helmet. The paint job is not as nice but it felt soo comfortable and is £100 cheaper than the Arai Chaser. Opinions please? Anyone have one as there aren't many reviews around

I had an RSF Fusion Race II.

Was good for a first lid, but felt pretty cheap compared to my TiTech.

I don't like the way the chin bar sticks out miles on Shark lids.

I tried a couple of AGVs in the shop but they were really tight around my forehead and if I went up a size way too loose

I have a Shark Smoke RSF2i, I think its the model one earlier than the one you're looking at. Dont think theres too many differences bar the designs and slight visual differences like pointier vents etc


I love my Shark. Feels snug, nice fit, comfortable chin strap. I agree with Ham, the chin sticks out a fair bit, so theres a draft. But im thinking about one of those rubber skirts anyways.

Its pretty quiet, but I need to oil it all and wash the inners...I use it everyday. I think Ive been using it for...4 months now? Solid. Everyday. Seems good so far. Not a bad price either, its worth the 100 quid drop. Agreed though...the paintwork (black bits) has chipped a little bit. Visible from a few feet away

My bro's arai voltage actually sounds a little bit noisier, and doesnt fit my head as well. Yet he says my helmet feels comfortable for him. *shrugs*


Each to their own, quite literally in the case of Helmets I believe!
