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

[Trickie Dick]

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

Knowing Ron, I bet he could still get one:spyder:

Trickiedick -- spoke to Bajaron and he says unfortunately he can't help on this one. Ron did mention that sometimes helmets are a little behind in the U.S so the Evoline 3 might take a couple months to catch up and be sold in the U.S.
I did e-mail Shark so hopefully they'll have some answers for me.

Tucker Rocky is the distributor. The same people who distribute First Gear. Apparently the helmet is going to be hard to find in the US. Maybe it's our bigoted France thing.

I might try and order from a UK site. You might try writing Shark directly. When I was told no parts were available I wrote them and they sent me anything I needed for free under the five year warranty. I think the company is a good one. I think its a distributor thing.

BTW for me this is the best helmet I have ever owned even though I rarely use it as half face. I have a version 2.

Advise you use a credit card that waves Foreign Transaction Fees. Hope this helps.

Thanks Dochands !

We talked to Shark directly and were told that we'd see places like Revzilla carry the Evoline series 3 sometime in July. If we don't see it by the end of July we will definitely be ordering it from overseas --Shark is a great company in our eyes and we love them for helmets.

Had a Shark awhile back and fyi it's made more for a round head than a football head like mine. It gave me a terrible headache from the pressure on my forehead.:banghead:
:doorag:

 

[Dochands]

Lamonster is totally right and it was something I never took into account before. My Shoei gave me headaches. Head shape is really important when choosing a helmet.

Good to know Revzilla will have them soon.

I have a series two and love it. ( I guess that makes me a roundhead). I use it as a full face most of the time, but for slow speed, PGR Missions, open face. It still looks okay to the "public".
I would stress what Lamonster said. Some helmet makers use "football" or use some other shape. One persons comfort is anothers headache.

hotglue purchased a Shark in Minnesota...near Apple Valley 2 years ago...same place sold Spyders.....he loves his Shark

Don't know where to buy series 3 yet I think euro market gets first dibs before it gets to us. As far as fit.... I love my rsr2 but then again one reason I went with them is my round head they are a great helmet but fit is king and they are all different

Yeah.... but my head is a lot longer than it is wide.....
used a spoon and ball peen hammer to compress the foam in the front of the helmet... it did leave a raw red spot on my forehead...
I need replacement inside dark and outside clear visors... have email Shark with 'no joy'....
