Shark-supported Tom Sykes was crowned the 2013 World Superbike Champion at Jerez, Spain on 20 October. To celebrate this, and by popular demand, Shark Helmets has launched a very special new design – the Speed-R Sykes Replica. The model is a replica of the Race-R Pro helmet worn by the SBK champion and is a welcome addition to the existing SHARK racing replicas. The helmet features Sykes’s unique design with chrome detailing and inspirational words in Japanese script including ‘power’, ‘success’, ‘courage’, ‘belief’ and ‘karma’.

The Speed-R helmet is constructed from the latest generation composite fibre and weighs just 1450g without compromising on any features. It has a new sunvisor mechanism for better feeling with gloves and is available with PinLock Maxvision. It also features SHARK’s Easy Fit system for glasses wearers and a double D-ring strap.
