As far as price goes they retail for $399, and I have no problem getting that price...for what it offers it is worth every penny!

Conclusion
The Shark Evoline is an interesting new helmet design that may be welcomed by some motorcycle riders. But in the end, we're not sure the complexity and weight is worth it -- the helmet doesn't seem to have an overwhelming advantage. We don't recall ever wanting to convert a flip-up helmet to an open-face version, but we'll leave that up to the touring riders.

Also, although the Evoline has decent sized ear pockets, installing an intercom system with speakers and a microphone may be problematic, and this issue will affect touring riders most, and they are presumably the target market for the helmet.

Conclusion
The Nexx X30 is definitely different and unique. It's good to see a helmet manufacturer pushing the envelope in an industry that generally takes either a conservative or a "follow the leader" approach.

While the styling and the functionality may not be for everyone, the X30 brings a difference that may be relished by others. And it's also wonderful to have such a unique helmet available in North America.

In the past, potential owners would have to source their interesting helmet finds from far away retailers, with all the hassles of shipping costs, language barriers and parts and service issues. Not to mention potential DOT safety standard problems.

I very much like the X30; it's comfortable, great-looking and surely gives me a unique look!
