Helmet: Fits like a Shoei X-11

Most Sharks fit like the old Arai Quantum .........Good for Chinese and other people with wide, round faces, but not good for most Europeans because their heads are usually longer front-to-back than they are side to side.

The discontinued shark rsx was very similar to the x11. I don't think any of the new lines fit similar. I haven't tried any of the new ones though.

Is this guy really debating the helmet king? Shark, like Arai makes several helmet models and each model has a designated head shape. BUT the new range has relaxed that a bit and Shark's high end lids are now more intermediate, so you may be able to get into a Race R Pro. There are also the newer old models which included the RSF3, RSF2i, S650, etc.


Old-old models;

RSR2-round

RSX-oval

RSI-intermediate oval

S-500-low end/intermediate


New Models

The Vison R and the Race R pro both look interesting....
