Shark OXO Sikter WHT/BLU

The Shark OXO is a flip-back helmet built around a single idea: one lid that works as a full-face helmet at speed and an open-face helmet when you stop. The chin bar swings up and back out of the airflow, and Shark's 2 Digit Unlock release is designed to be operated deliberately with two fingers rather than knocked open by accident. This Sikter colourway pairs a white base with chrome blue graphics.

It suits commuters, tourers and anyone who spends as much time at lights, fuel stops and cafés as they do riding. The aerodynamic profile is shaped to cut drag and keep the helmet stable at road speeds, and two shell sizes mean the fit tracks head size rather than padding out one oversized shell.

A Pinlock 70 insert and a dark smoke screen are supplied in the box, so the helmet is ready for cold mornings and bright afternoons without a separate purchase.

Before riding in full-face mode, close the chin bar and check it has latched securely on both sides.
Operate the '2 Digit Unlock' release deliberately with two fingers; the mechanism is designed to resist accidental opening, so do not force it.
Clean the shell with lukewarm water and a mild soap on a soft cloth. Avoid petrol, solvents and household cleaners, which can attack the Lexan shell and the visor.
Soften insects and road grime by laying a damp cloth over the visor for a few minutes rather than scrubbing dry dirt off the surface.
Treat the Pinlock 70 insert and the internal sun visor as delicate: rinse with clean water and blot dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Coated surfaces mark easily under abrasive cloths.
Fit the supplied dark smoke screen for daylight use only, and retract the internal sun visor at night, in tunnels and in poor light.
When not in use, store the helmet in the supplied cover in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and fuel or chemical fumes.
Do not hang the helmet on a mirror or indicator stalk, and keep it off the ground where it can roll and take a knock.
Replace the helmet after any significant impact, even if there is no visible damage.
If fitting a Sharktooth or SENA intercom, route the cabling clear of the chin bar mechanism and the visor track so nothing is pinched when the helmet is opened or closed.
