Still need help making up your mind after running through these exquisite features? Here are the benefits of the SHARK helmets EVO-ONE 2 Slasher Matte.

• Flip-up modular helmet

Toggle between a full face and open faced helmet depending on the situation! Whereas some riders prefer having a full faced helmet for maximum protection, some also prefer the open faced for its convenience. With this modular style, you can have the best of both worlds! A full face helmet will ensure your whole head and face is protected during an impact. In terms of convenience, riders also prefer a modular helmet as they do not have to take off their helmets during refuelling or going to the shop or ATM.

• Auto-up and auto down system and integrated sun visor

With an auto up and down system, you can easily move the chin guard and adjust the helmet to your liking. Riding with the visors up will ensure a steady stream of air flow, which will let you ride smoothly and comfortably. On the other hand, having it down will prevent insects from entering your mouth and eyes or dirtying your face. 

With an integrated sun visor, you will also be protected from harmful UV light that might distract you while riding. 

• Rigid outer shell

Helmet shells are made with different components with different characteristics. The outer shell is important as it dissipates the impact and minimizes injury to the rider. The EVO-ONE 2 Slasher shell is made with an injected thermoplastic resin shell, making it very durable and heat resistant. This high performance material has also been certified 5 stars with the SHARP crash test. This means that it has ensured levels of protection from all angles of the helmet.

• Lightweight and aerodynamic

Having a lightweight helmet will be more comfortable for the rider. It is also less pressure for the rider’s neck and spine, which will prevent long term injuries. A lightweight helmet will also allow more mobility and flexibility for the rider. On top of that, its aerodynamic design adds to giving a smoother and more streamline ride.

• Removable and washable CoolMax liner

With a CoolMax liner, you don’t have to worry much about your sweat sticking into the interiors and causing that foul smell. Removable and washable, you can also easily detach, and have it washed for maximum freshness.

• PINKLOCK

Visors tend to fog up and this causes the rider’s vision to be affected. This is dangerous as it usually happens while the rider is on the road and might have to stop at the side to clear up their visors. The PINLOCK uses a double shield principle. The shield is secured with pins and moisture-absorbing material to ensure an air-tight chamber. The pins also ensure convenience for riders as you can easily adjust the and replace it easily.

What Should You Note?

The only thing that users didn’t like has been the modular mechanism, which sometimes does not work as expected, especially when you are riding the bike. That being said, the auto visor does work as expected most of the times.
