hey folks, Im looking into the shark line of helmets. Their high end RSR 2 FUJIWARA. My typical questions is How is the fitting in this brand? and How are the venting?

I have Round head, and Currently wear a LARGE in the shoei x-11.
 
X-11 = oval
RSR2 = round
 
shraz ...x-11 feels nice for me. now why is it that rx-7 is for oval shape head..and it doesnt fit me. anyhow should i get a LARGE or xl on the shark?

SHARK is a true to fit lid so if you wear a LG then in SHARK you wear a LG. I wear a MED in Suomy, Arai, KBC, HJC, and the SHARK MED fits me perfect. Ventalation in very good and visor swaps very easy.
 
Those helmets are light. Good choice, you don't have a local dealer to try em' on.
 
Hare Racing has Shark lids at a reasonable price. Arai Quantum users will find the shark very confortable.
 
I love my shark helmet, very light if you get the carbon fiber/kevlar model. some have said it's noisy but i wear ear plugs so its a non issue..
 
Just tried one on at Cycle gear. I fit a XL shoei X-11, XL HJC AC-12,XL Arai Quantum. I fit a Shark LARGE. I was stunned that I've finally found a XL helmet that I could twist a quarter turn... even more stunned to feel how well the large fit (apart from a teeny bit of top forehead pressure)

I have a oval head. Nicest fitting helmet I've ever worn is the Shoei X-11. The Shark is SO light, and such a nice lid, I'd be tempted. But I have my Shoei and HJC...
 
you should try the suomy spec-1r extreme helmets. I have two of them for myself, I think they're the best helmets right now. I got one for sale brand new too. Lemme know if you're interested, only $300.
