Revolutionary. This new Shark Evoline Absolute Helmet is certainly that. It's hard to know where to start. I guess it makes sense to start with the helmet's most striking feature: the patented Tech-Move System Chinstrap. The chin bar unlocks, moves to a back position, and integrates with the lines of the shell. Such an "outside the box" design is sure to inspire strong reactions both pro and con. However, most initial rider comments are positive, so it seems Shark has done something right here.
With such a innovative chin bar, it's easy to overlook the helmet's other features. The shell is constructed of an injected thermoplastic resin. Venting comes in the form of integrated channels, and the interior padding is removable and washable.
The helmet does not carry Snell certification, but it meets or exceeds D.O.T. and ECE 22-05 standards. It is warranted for 5 years, which is reassuring. The helmet comes in sizes extra small through extra large.
I am a traditionalist, so I'm not sure what to think about the new Shark Evoline Absolute helmet. If it proves to hold up to use, and more importantly to crashes, this may be a design of the future. Shark is an up-and-coming manufacturer, and they are certainly testing the new technology market.
