{"product_id":"aeron-raceblock-blue-he0117edbu","title":"Shark Aeron Raceblock Carbon Blue Chrom Helmet HE0117","description":"\u003cp\u003eRaceblock in Carbon Blue Chrom pairs the Aeron's exposed weave with a hard-edged blue graphic running back from the visor line toward the spoiler — a chrome-toned blue rather than a flat one, so the panel catches light differently depending on the angle you're looking from. Shark's own naming for this decor gives the colour as the supplier states it; no manufacturer product photo for this exact code was available to check that wording against, so the description here rests on that naming alone rather than a visual confirmation this listing could make independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe road Aeron, not the racing flagship\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSay this plainly before anything else: this is the Aeron, not the Aeron GP FIM 2 that sits above it in Shark's range. It carries no FIM homologation of any kind — the price list itself marks this helmet's Norme as 2206 with no FIM suffix at all, a road-approval code rather than a competition one. What the Aeron does carry from that racing lineage is the shell material and the wind-tunnel-developed spoiler shape, without the badge, the FIM paperwork, or the roughly 450-euro price difference that separates the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShell: COVA carbon and aramid\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shell is Shark's COVA construction, a carbon-fibre and aramid-fibre composite blended at roughly 80\/20, built across two shell sizes rather than one shell padded out for the whole size range. Shark's own spec table for current Aeron decors states 1,440 g for the first, smallest shell size — a genuinely light figure for a full-face helmet, and one this listing takes from the same structured data Shark publishes for this model's other 2027 decors rather than a number carried over from an unrelated colourway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat ECE 22.06 actually tests\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eECE 22.06 replaced 22.05 as the EU's mandatory approval standard for newly homologated helmets from January 2024, and the change is worth knowing rather than assuming. The old test struck a shell at five fixed points; this one strikes eighteen, across several impact speeds instead of one, and adds an oblique-impact test against an abrasive anvil that 22.05 never ran at all — a glancing, twisting hit scored for the rotational force it sends into the brain, not only the straight-line force a drop test measures. Every accessory fitted at test time, visor included, stays on the shell throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWeight as a number your neck carries all day\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1,440 g is not a number that matters most in a shop, held for thirty seconds. It matters at the end of a long ride, in the cumulative effort your neck puts in through every head check, every glance at a mirror, repeated for as long as the helmet is on. A carbon-aramid shell earns its price largely here — in what it does not add to that total over a full day, not in what it looks like on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation: five in, seven out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive intake vents at the front feed seven exhaust ports at the back, a wider exhaust-to-intake ratio than the 5-and-5 or fewer arrangements common on cheaper shells, built to actively draw warm air away from the crown and forehead rather than simply let it drift out. On a fast ring road or a full track day, the difference between that and a passively vented shell is real, not marketing language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVisor and Pinlock\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe visor carries an Optical Class 1 rating, anti-fog and anti-scratch treatment as standard, and a quick-release mechanism that does not require tools. Tear-off posts are integrated for track use. Pinlock compatibility is built in; an optional Max Vision 120 housing and a separate photochromic Instant visor are sold as accessories for this model rather than fitted as standard on any decor, this one included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior and fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShark's Best Fit interior uses Alvéotech antimicrobial textile, fully removable and washable, with Easy Fit spectacle grooves for riders who wear glasses on and off the bike. The buckle is a magnetic double-D ring, and a SHARK Emergency Remove System is built into the cheek pads for first-responder access. Two shell sizes span the six head sizes Shark offers, XS through XXL — a closer fit than one shell padded out to cover the whole range would give.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWind noise, honestly\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA full-face shell with a sealed chin bar is quieter at speed than any open helmet by construction, and the Aeron's tight visor seal and integrated design work in that direction — but no manufacturer decibel figure is published for this specific model, so none is stated here as if it were. The wind-tunnel development behind the spoiler and shell profile targets drag and stability more directly than cabin noise, and those are not the same measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere this decor sits on price\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the current Aeron family, plain decors like the Full Carbon start the ladder at €649.99, graphic decors including this Raceblock colourway sit at €719.99, and replica liveries run to €749.99. Above the whole Aeron line, the FIM-homologated Aeron GP FIM 2 starts at €1,199.99 — the flagship this helmet deliberately is not, at roughly 40% of its price for the road-focused version of the same shell family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrice\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFIM\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAeron, plain decor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e€649.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eno\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAeron, Raceblock (this helmet)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e€719.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eno\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAeron, replica decor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e€749.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eno\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAeron GP FIM 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom €1,199.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eyes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpare parts, later\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA scratched or fogged visor is a routine replacement on this shell, not a reason to shop for a new helmet. Shark stocks visor options across the whole Aeron\/Aeron GP visor family under its own part numbers, so availability does not hinge on any one decor staying in the current range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this helmet does not have\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStated plainly: no confirmed SHARP rating applies to this decor. A SHARP entry does exist for an Aeron GP helmet tested in August 2025, but that entry links to a since-discontinued decor from an earlier model generation with no confirmed match to this shell — it is not carried over here as if it settled the question for a 2027 decor. No MIPS, no DOT or Snell approval, no published wind-noise figure, and no manufacturer photo available to verify this exact colourway against the naming used to describe it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe helmet arrives with the visor fitted, a helmet cover, reflective bands, five breath filters and summer\/winter anti-fog masks included, and Shark's documentation covering the 5-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Shark","offers":[{"title":"XS \/ Raceblock DBU HE0117","offer_id":53819340783882,"sku":"HE0117DBU_XS","price":1434000.0,"currency_code":"CDF","in_stock":true},{"title":"S \/ Raceblock DBU HE0117","offer_id":53819340652810,"sku":"HE0117DBU_S","price":1434000.0,"currency_code":"CDF","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Raceblock DBU HE0117","offer_id":53819340751114,"sku":"HE0117DBU_M","price":1434000.0,"currency_code":"CDF","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Raceblock DBU HE0117","offer_id":53819340620042,"sku":"HE0117DBU_L","price":1434000.0,"currency_code":"CDF","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Raceblock DBU HE0117","offer_id":53819340718346,"sku":"HE0117DBU_XL","price":1434000.0,"currency_code":"CDF","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL \/ Raceblock DBU HE0117","offer_id":53819340685578,"sku":"HE0117DBU_XXL","price":1434000.0,"currency_code":"CDF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/HE0117EDBU__1_AERON_RACEBLOCK_DBU_34Lfront_GLOSSY_HE0117DBU.png?v=1790601772","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-cd\/products\/aeron-raceblock-blue-he0117edbu","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
