Check this Helmet out the new SHARK!

[Scottish]

Cool helmet, I really like Sharks, I'm getting a new one within a month. Mika, the chin bar prevents your face from being crushed by object harder than your face during a wreck. Without a chin bar the lower half of you face is vulenerable to whatever extent it sticks past the profile of the helmet. I addition this is one of the hottest strike zones on a helmet as people have a tendency to look at where they are falling. Chin bar = good.

It is a very slick looking helmet. Would I buy it, I don't know.

HAving lowsided and looking at the helmet that was crashed, an open face isn't for me. I'd be missing and eye now. 

It would be handy in traffic to flip up, but they will have to show its crashability to get me to buy it.

looks like my next commuting helmet. can't wait to give it a try.

"The only helmet carrying a double full-face & jet ECE22-05 homologation."

Sounds like it's supposed to have good crash rating. Have to check webbikeworld and see if they've done a review.

I emailed webbikeworld about this helmet. They said that they intend to review it.
The only reason I am looking at this type of helmet is because I can't stand riding in 90plus degrees humid weather. I have been reading reviews and it seems that the best FULL face helmet for summer time would be the Shoei X-Eleven because it has the BEST ventilation system for a full face. Any other helmets that compete with the Xeleven in air flow?

I've been looking to buy a jet style helmet for the summer, but I am concerned about safety without a chin bar. Well, it seem like Shark has a winner concept! A Full Face that morphs into a Jet style. WOW!! I want one!!  What do you guys think? Check it out!

that is definatley cool, but i always worry about crashing with my face exposed.  i used to wear a open face helmet in the eightie's during my moto days, but i smashed out some teeth and that was the end of that. just something to think about

Wow,,. that is a good comment.. I sure don't want to smash out my teeth.. I guess I am going to have to shell out 600.00 for an X-eleven.. I looked at the red kagayama with a white stripe,, it will match my S4R..  [moto]

P.s: Dude.. Ron.. much better when you ADD something to a thread instead of the BASHING... let's see some more of that!

Well..  I appreciate everyone's comments. It helped me make an informed decision and I DECIDED to buy a FULL face instead of a 3/4 or a modular. After a lot of research and other members comment's I came to the conclusion that the BEST SUMMER FULL FACE... thanks to the most efficient vent system is the Shoei X eleven. I just bought a red Kagayama to match my S4R .. it has a white stripe in the middle.. here is a link

That is a cool helmet...I just don't know why I would want a helmet to do that? 

I am already self-conscious about looking like a Star Wars extra walking around with my flat black Arai Profile and Boblebee Metro-Aero back-pack and leathers on.


I hear ya on the hot thing though.  Hot is bad here in the Mid-West.  Most of the riders I talk to here tell me they really cut back their riding in the full summer heat (100+ temps and 80+% humidity).  I have talked to a couple guys who said they ride more in the winter than they do in August!

I WANNA MOVE BACK TO SF RIGHT NOW!

Now that`s one nice looking helmet

zero four zero - roger, you are clear for takeoff on runway three niner right. altitude resrtictions canceled, happy hunting

[brnout]

You guys seen the J1 helmet from Schubert? Open face helmet, with sun visor, and a chin guard hoop, so it has some chin protection. Perfect for hot days with slow riding, not as safe as a full helmet but safer than an open face one..
