TRIED & TESTED
Shark Spartan GT Carbon
Tested by Mikko Nieminen | From 409.99 | www.nevis.uk.com
I had a big crash wearing Shark’s Spartan Carbon helmet, and although I sustained some injuries because of the sheer force of the impact, the lid kept my noggin in one piece. So, to replace the smashed lid I went for a slightly updated model, the Spartan GT Carbon.
The GT’s shell is made of fibre and carbon layers, and under that it has a multi-density EPS, so you can expect a high level of protection from this helmet too. But before you ask, I’m not planning on crash testing this one.
The vents are all easily usable, although ideally I would have liked a bit more air coming through the chin vent. You can get round this by removing the whisper strip, though.
The visor offers a good wide field of vision, and it boasts a Class 1 optical rating. It also has a Pinlock Max Vision lens to keep it mist-free.
