Here’s the PRESS RELEASE:

SHARK Helmets is pleased to present a numbered run of Limited Edition Race-R PRO Carbon Helmets in the Johann Zarco World Champion Design. This stylish colorway replicates the same design worn by Zarco when he clinched his second Moto2 championship in 2016. With a production run of just 1,500 units, this sought after replica will be a must have when it hits the shelves in Spring 2017, just in time for the Grand Prix of The Americas in Austin, Texas.

With a striking design featuring visible carbon fiber, the SHARK Race-R PRO Carbon Zarco Replica is as stylish as it is safe. Developed in conjunction with SHARK Helmets riders including Johann Zarco himself, this helmet comes packed with features designed to meet the demands of top level racing competition: lightness, stability, comfort and ventilation.

In 2016, Johann Zarco became the first two-time Moto2 World Champion and the first French rider ever to take two World Championships. He is currently embarking on his maiden season in the MotoGP premier class, riding for the Yamaha Tech 3 team.

The Race-R PRO Carbon Zarco replica will be available in sizes XS-XL with an MSRP of $789.99. Each helmet is individually numbered and comes with sponsor stickers included in the box.

About the SHARK Helmets Race-R PRO Carbon:
The Race-R PRO Carbon Helmet by SHARK Helmets, is the perfect blend of style, stability, and safety. This high end composite fiber helmet has been totally designed through a reverse engineering process, making it race ready for any rider.

Our flagship helmet design, the SHARK Helmets RACE-R PRO Carbon model is one of the first helmets developed to rely on CFD technology (featuring computational fluid simulations) while also featuring a carbon belt. This simulation of aerodynamic performance adds the attributes of optimal ventilation and penetration through air, while still recognized as one of the world’s safest helmets, earning 5 stars in the SHARP crash test.

The Race-R PRO features a double blade spoiler to aid high speed aerodynamic force. Crystal clear visibility is achieved thanks to the optical class one visor with variable density – the visor is 2.8mm around the edges and 4.25mm in the centre – which offers near perfect optical quality.

The visor has a patented four anchor point visor safety lock and is treated with an anti-scratch treatment outside and an anti-fog treatment inside. It fastens securely using a double D-ring strap and tucks away using a magnet. The helmet features a quick release visor system and the interior is removable and washable.

The Race-R PRO is acknowledged as one of the safest helmets on the market with five stars in SHARP testing and has appeared on the podium at world-level racing championships over 150 times.
