Shark is a French manufacturer and brand of motorcycle helmets. Shark helmets for casual street bike riders are considered a high-end brand, but the price of Shark helmets reflects Shark's focus on speedway racing as the main consideration for their helmet design and technology. Shark RSR full-face helmets, for example, are very light and yet meet strict international helmet standards. Another typical feature of Shark helmets is the greater thickness of their visor. Over 200 professional motorcycle racers have used Shark, and 45 world championship titles were won with a Shark helmet. The company, Shark S.A. has introduced many innovations in the industry including the first carbon fiber helmet, the XRC carbon, in 1991. Shark S.A. was founded in 1929, in Marseille, France.
