DescriptionThe whole story▼
Built on decades of Shark racing heritage, the Skwal Cup in gloss black delivers the aerodynamic precision and ECE 22.06-certified protection that track-focused riders demand — in a package that is equally at home on fast road rides. This is a helmet shaped by wind-tunnel data, not guesswork, and the BLK HE6502 finish gives it a clean, uncompromising look that lets the engineering do the talking.
Key Features
- ECE 22.06 certified — the latest and most stringent European safety standard for road and track use
- Polycarbonate shell in two shell sizes for a compact, well-balanced fit across the size range
- Wind-tunnel-developed aerodynamic profile with integrated spoiler to reduce turbulence at speed
- Optical Class 1 visor — scratch-resistant, UV-resistant, and distortion-free for precise vision at racing pace
- Integrated drop-down sun visor eliminates the need to carry a tinted shield on bright days
- Pinlock anti-fog insert included — critical when lapping in changeable conditions
- Double-D ring retention system: the race-proven closure trusted on circuits worldwide
Shell Construction and Safety
The Skwal Cup uses a robust polycarbonate shell engineered to manage and disperse impact energy effectively. Two distinct shell sizes across the XS-to-XXL range mean that every size gets a helmet that sits compact and balanced rather than simply scaling a single mould. At 1,587 g (±50 g), it sits in a competitive weight bracket for a polycarbonate full-face, reducing fatigue on longer stints. The double-D ring closure is specified because it cannot work loose — a non-negotiable detail for track days and spirited road riding alike.
Aerodynamics and Ventilation
Shark's wind-tunnel sessions produced a shell profile that remains stable and quiet even when the speedo climbs. The integrated rear spoiler manages airflow attachment, reducing the buffeting that causes neck fatigue over distance. Inside that aerodynamic package sits a purposeful three-stage ventilation system: crown vents draw cool air across the EPS-channelled liner, chin vents prevent visor fogging during hard acceleration, and rear exhaust ports actively evacuate warm air. The result is consistent airflow circulation on the move — exactly what you need when concentration matters most.
Visor System
The Optical Class 1 main visor is the clearest class available, delivering an undistorted field of vision that is essential when reading a corner at speed. It is both scratch-resistant and UV-rated for long days in the sun. The included Pinlock insert creates a sealed air gap between the two lenses, eliminating condensation on cold mornings or in wet conditions. When the sun is at its worst, the integrated internal sun visor drops into place in a single motion, keeping your eyes comfortable without requiring a pit stop.
Interior Comfort
Long sessions are easier with Shark's Alveotec liner: a soft, breathable, antibacterial fabric that wicks moisture and resists odour build-up. The full liner and cheekpads are removable and machine-washable, so the helmet stays fresh across a full season. Glasses wearers are accommodated by a channel in the cheekpads that eliminates pressure points. Speaker cutouts are pre-formed in the liner for straightforward communication-system integration, and a chin curtain with breath deflector reduces wind noise and cold-air intrusion at the visor seal.
Design — Gloss Black BLK HE6502
The Skwal Cup in gloss black is the choice for riders who prefer their helmet to make no unnecessary statement — just a deep, clean finish that works with any livery or naked machine. The glossy lacquer over the polycarbonate shell gives a premium appearance that holds its look as part of the 2025–2026 Shark collection. Minimalist, track-influenced, and unmistakably Shark.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Shark Skwal Cup BLK HE6502 is a universal full-face helmet suitable for all motorcycle types — from track-day superbikes and race-replica machines to naked bikes and sport-tourers. It is available in sizes XS through to XXL and is compatible with any ECE 22.06-approved riding environment across Europe.
