Introducing the new Race-R Pro GP 06 from SHARK

The unmistakable Race-R Pro GP has had a 22.06 makeover for 2023, the result – the 22.06-certified Race-R Pro GP 06. 

The shell is made from reinforced Carbon On View and Aramid (COVA) offering resistance to both abrasion and compression as well as enhanced anti-delamination performance. The multi-density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) has also been optimised for improved shock absorption in the event of an accident. 

The spoiler, known to many as the ‘SHARK fin’, has been developed in the wind tunnel in conjunction with top racers for increased aerodynamics and stability. For optimal safety, it has a ‘‘Quick Spoiler Safety System’ which allows ejecting of the spoiler in the event of a fall to limit the effects of secondary shocks.

It features a chin vent fitted with a removable variable airflow, removable anti-pollution filter, an ergonomic visor grip and – as on the Race-R Pro – a high-strength visor with Optical Class 1 rating and variable thickness for no visual distortion. 

The interior features a two-tone, high-tech ‘Alveotech’ lining fabric with a Sanitized® label which prevents breeding of bacteria. The removable and washable interior lining of the helmet also benefits from new technology used to cut out ‘3D morpho’ cheek contours for maximum comfort. To muffle noise at speed, the helmet contains shape memory ear pads and a dual use anti-fog breath guard. The wrap-around, breathable neck protection also helps with noise protection.

The visor mechanism and hardware have a premium finish and ‘SHARK Racing Division’ laser engraving, the double-D buckle is made of anodized titanium and a snap-on chin strap to ensure a perfect fit. 

The Race-R Pro GP 06 comes in a newly designed ‘SHARK Racing Division’ carry bag – used by SHARK-supported racers – with a dark smoke anti-scratch and anti-fog visor as standard. 

There are four options to choose from including two Zarco replicas and two plain colours – gloss red and matt black with subtle SHARK logo placement – both have an RRP of £999.99. 

Available in size XS (53-54cm) to XL (61-62cm) in two shell sizes for optimal morphological adjustment.  

As additional options, as well as clear there are seven visors to choose from, including: yellow, blue, gold, chrome, dark smoke, light tinted 50% and light tinted 22%.
