"Is the Shark SKWAL i3 Linik Motorcycle Helmet Worth the Investment?"
The SKWAL is an outstanding motorcycle helmet designed and developed by SHARK and the i3 is the latest in the series. Standing out from the crowd with its LED marker lights and integrated brake lights give this helmet the added edge when it comes to rider safety.
This innovative safety LED system, tried and tested since the first version of the SKWAL, has been redesigned with the addition of active brake lights as standard. Thanks to the integration of a triaxial accelerometer, you enjoy the benefit of smart brake lights on your helmet without the need for cables or Bluetooth!
SHARK Best Fit: Comfort Redesigned
SHARK 3D scan campaign involved scanning a wide range of users to define the best possible fit for riders, has developed a helmet that is both light and comfortable with 5 highly technical textiles that make the fit unique and feeling like a second skin. Road tested by MCN's Justin Hayzelden he described the fit "I don't think it would be any more comfortable with a complete bespoke interior. And because it fits so well, there's an overall sensation of the outer shell being compact , rather than a giant fish bowl. A good helmet shouldn't feel like you're wearing it all, and the SKWAL i3 ticks the box with a flourish. Compact, lightweight, excellent visor system, brake lights"
