Shark Evoline Series 3 Helmet --anyone know where I can buy one in the USA ?

[kawakii]

I'm interested in a Shark Evoline Series 3 helmet but it seems like the USA distributors only sell the series 2, was wondering if anyone knows of a distributors in the USA who sells Shark helmets that can order the series 3 instead of 2. There have been improvements in noise reduction since the series 2 and I like the Shark helmets and if I'm going to invest in one I'd like it to be the most recent 2012 model.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated

I try to buy local to keep good relations with dealers, even if costs couple dollars more. Way more, different stories
I bought mine at Competion Asssories store in Springfield, Ohio. The online "store" is a different company.
You might try Iron Pony in Columbes, Ohio for mail order. They have physical store there as well. It is huge.
Good luck,

None of my local stores have any sharks at all. Seems the distributors can't get them.

Same problem around here no one seems to carry Shark helmets, and finding a usa distributor who carries the series 3 has been impossible

Did you check Revzilla... I am also watching that helmet

I was looking to Pick Up a Shark Helmet this past weekend here in Ontario.

Went to GPBikes (as they had a few in Stock).



My observations.

When viewed online, they looked great and gave me the Full Modular experience.. Was very excited to see/Try them on in person.

Very flimsy feel to them.. Nothing like what I had expected...
I confidently moved away from the notion that I was going to leave with a Shark Helmet.

In the end I opted for a Modular from Nolan. The 2011 Outlaw model.
I've got a Big head; it fit the best amonst all the brands I tried on.

I have the series 1. When they first came out. Got mine from Cyclegear. I would try them and see if they can order it for you. The wife is wanting one now and thats who I will be buying it from.

Thanks. I have tried on the Nolan helmet and it's nice and I like it alot but my problem with it is that you cant ride with it up in it's modular state. I want the shark for it's conveince of being a full face helmet and a half helmet that I can ride with in either form. We have Shark helmets just not the modular and like them. I just refuse to buy last years model and right now the only way I can find to get the current series 3 model is to buy it and have shipped internationally

It also looks like Shoei makes a nice modular helmet the multitec.

Thank bclouter19 -- Shark seems to be the only modular helmet that can be ridden as a full face and half helmet on the road with the pieces still all connected but I will check it out again in case I'm mistaken Good to have other options . I Ihave written Pacific Motorsports and asked if they can get a Series 3 Shark helmet, alot of online stores sell Shark as well but only carry the series 2 not 3 for some reason. Shark is not as popular in the USA as it is in other countries--disappointing.

 

[bcoulter19]

I was looking because I am interested in a modular helmet because I wear glasses and it looks like it will be much easier getting hte helmet on and off. I want have to take my glasses off everytime I either put it on or take it off. I hadn't thought about riding with the chin and shield in the up position.

Ugg.. just called Pacific Powersports and they no longer carry any Shark helmets Bummer. Looks like I'm going to have to have one shipped from overseas if I want it unless I settle for the series 2 instead of 3. Would hate to have to order a series 2 from a usa online dealer because the series 3 have been upgraded to open easier, be lighter and have reduced wind noise, plus they have done more with luminescent ink. Guess I need to start looking for a company that'll ship and is priced okay including the cost of shipping.

Thanks Everyone for helping.

there is one HUGE helmet distributor for the US (don't remember name) and MOST stores buy from them. they quit carrying Shark for the US.
they sold well but dropped because they could not meet demand.

in have an EvoLine series 2 helmet and also wear glasses.
let me tell you you HAVE to take off your glasses to get this helmet off (and its a fair amount more work to put it on with glasses on).

i also have a Nolan N43 (last yrs, not this years) and it easily goes on and off with glasses on.

Tucker Rocky is the Shark distributor.

Baja Ron

I think Baja Ron carries Shark. Maybe he can get you one. :dontknow:

Bajaron doesn't sell Shark anymore, his distributor decided to drop them as a company. Boo.
