With the RACE-R Pro - a replica of the helmet worn by former world champion Jorge Lorenzo - Shark is entering the realm of high-performance track racing. High visibility, stability and aerodynamics, combined with a high level of protection. And indeed, you can also just use it on public roads (ECE-R 22/05).
The outer shell is carbon fiber (aramid), which has as main characteristic that it links a high degree of strength to a light weight. Ideal for a high-end racing helmet. The different helmet sizes are divided over two helmet shells. The result is barely 1250 grams.
Jorge Lorenzo doesn't attach his name to just anything. So aerodynamics are good. Where needed or desirable, the helmet has deflectors and a doubled spoiler, in function of stability and less constant pressure on the rider's body. The fact that improved stability contributes directly to better visibility - not unimportant on a race track. Hence the variable-density visor (optical class 1) with four anchor points, a patented safety feature. In addition to the standard tear-off-ready transparent visor**, the RACE-R Pro, tinted visors, a transparent Pinlock visor, a Pinlock film and tear-offs are alsoavailable. The anti-scratch and anti-fog treatment is an obvious choice, as is the quick release system.
Six vents at the front and top guarantee a constant supply of fresh air. Unless you don't want to, because they can be adjusted by means of sliding and tilting. A nose cap, chin spoiler and wind curtain chin are standard. At the bottom, the neck rim is partly elastic, which ensures a good fit to the neck. The removable lining is of course washable and easy to maintain. The RACE-R Pro is with cutouts that will please spectacle wearers. A double-D buckle is finished off with a magnet.
This is a high-performance helmet for day-to-day use, with a solid pedigree deeply rooted in competitive racing.
To maintain this helmet, we recommend S100 helmet and visor cleaner for the exterior. For cleaning the interior without removing it, you can use S100 helmet interior cleaner. New visors have received a water-repellent treatment. This treatment is less effective after some time. Restore the water-repellent effect with Rain-X anti-rain spray.
The reflective stickers, mandatory in France, to stick on the helmet are included.

Safety above all! Never ride with a scratched or dull visor. Especially at night, scratches cause blinding reflections of street lights and headlights of oncoming vehicles. This effect is even more pronounced in rainy weather. It is best to replace a scratched or dull visor as soon as possible. Planning a longer trip? Then don't forget to bring a replacement visor with you. Never ride in the dark with a tinted visor.
