shark skwal Led Helmet 2. Anyone got one / review?

[dandoolittle]

I need a new road lid, mines about four years now, I tend to swap every three for the road, every crash on the race track.

Has anyone got the shark skwal or shark skwal 2?

At the moment a lot are reduced from £250+ to £160ish

I love sharks, I’m alive because of them.

I love the LED light idea, even if I’m w fair weather, I like the idea.

5000 charge life cycle should last the three years. Has anyone got one?

This is the older model

Not seen them before. Not sure I'd want a green light on the back of my head at night though. A there different colour LEDs?

I really like the idea of these. Not a big fan of the green, but wouldnt mind.

I got it today.

It’s a four star SHARP rating which is good for the road.

It’s extremely light and more importantly has a ACU sticker blah.... although this is my road only lid, I’d only have five star for the track due to the speeds we rag about at.

It’s a tighter than normal fit though but most helmets are.

My lights are not green.

Downside - no way to know when the battery is full for the led lights.

They claim (shark) five hours battery for constant lights and over 10 for flickering.

I would expect id only be using it as flickering.

This will be my touring lid (on the gsxr)

P.s it’s pretty sealed as a unit so can imagine wind won’t be an issue at average road speeds between 0-100mph

do an update once you get some miles down in it.

cool, would have been nice to have the white lights at the front and red at the rear, but as long as it makes you more visible to the idiots out there then job done!

So these are only "decorative" lights, not the ones that double brake light and turn signal?

 

[WheelyPerd]

I like the white much better than the green, looks good.

I assume the lights stand out quite a bit at night?

I don’t think legally you’re supposed to?

Only on moving vehicles, I think

Ahh that makes sense
