{"product_id":"skwal-cup-replica-granado-2026-mat-he6528ebgy","title":"Shark Skwal Cup Eric Granado 2026 Replica Helmet HE6528","description":"\u003cp\u003eEric Granado is Brazilian, born in São Paulo in 1996, a 2017 FIM CEV Moto2 European champion who went on to race in the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup, the electric class run alongside MotoGP. This decor carries his colours: green, neon yellow and blue worked into the shell's graphic in a matte finish — Brazilian flag colours, not a literal flag print — a personal livery on a production helmet, not a generic race-inspired pattern. MotoE is the FIM's all-electric support class, run on the same weekends as MotoGP on many rounds of the calendar — a growing part of the championship rather than a side event, and the series where Granado has built the racing profile this decor references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a road helmet needs a spoiler at all\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a fair question: road riders aren't lapping a circuit, so why borrow a spoiler shape from track helmets? The answer is that the physics doesn't care what the speed limit is — air separating off the back of a plain shell turns turbulent from motorway speeds upward, and that turbulence is what makes a helmet feel restless on a naked bike or in a crosswind. Shark's answer was to run the Skwal Cup's rear end through computational fluid-dynamics simulation and a wind tunnel, the same process used on its competition helmets, and fit the spoiler that came out of that work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGranado's colours, and why matte suits them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlag colours like these work best kept clean and saturated, and the matte surface does two things at once: it takes the shine off so the green, neon yellow and blue read as flat colour blocks rather than reflective panels, and it forgives the day-to-day scuffs — a dropped glove, a careless set-down — more readily than a gloss shell would. The trade-off is slightly more effort to wipe fully clean after a wet ride, a fair exchange for a livery meant to be read at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTested as worn, not as sold\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail in ECE 22.06 rarely makes it onto a spec sheet: the standard, mandatory across the EU since January 2024, tests the helmet with its visor, Pinlock insert and a communications unit fitted — not as a bare shell on a stand. That sits alongside the bigger structural changes from the older 22.05 regulation: eighteen impact points struck instead of five, several impact speeds instead of one, an oblique-impact test against an abrasive anvil for glancing loads, and a rotational Brain Injury Criterion measured for the first time. The Skwal Cup's certification reads 2206, with no FIM suffix — a road approval, not a competition one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere 1,580 g sits in context\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn its own, a weight figure doesn't say much. Set against context it says more: most of the road-legal full-face helmets we carry weigh somewhere between roughly 1,250 g and 1,800 g, and the Skwal Cup's quoted 1,580 g (+\/-50 g) — for the first, smallest shell size — sits toward the middle of that range rather than at either extreme. Riders in L through XXL, on the larger of the Skwal Cup's two shells, should expect a slightly higher real figure for the same construction, since manufacturers quote the lighter shell's weight by convention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the visor does and doesn't do\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOptical class 1, with a Pinlock 70 insert included and a tool-free release for quick cleaning or replacement. What it doesn't do is shift tint with the light: this shell sits outside Shark's IRID photochromic visor compatibility list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntake and exhaust\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne intake, two exhausts — the Skwal Cup's ventilation is deliberately uncomplicated, leaving the shell's rear surface clean for the aerodynamic work happening there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's against your skin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA suede-finish, antibacterial Alveotech liner sits against the head, removable and machine washable, meant for the kind of repeated wear a daily commute puts a helmet through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit, by the numbers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix sizes, XS-XXL, two shell moulds — proportioned so the smallest and largest sizes in the range both get a shell built for them rather than one stretched to cover everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNoise, described rather than rated\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo decibel number is attached to this helmet, and we're not adding one that isn't sourced. The visor aperture carries a perimeter seal, and a chin curtain sits at the base of the shell — construction aimed at closing air leaks, which is what actually drives noise at speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe ladder, from the bottom up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRidill 2 first. D-Skwal 3 next. Then this Skwal Cup decor. Then the Skwal i3, whose price varies by decor, and the Skwal i Cup — the last two carrying an LED brake-light system this helmet skips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot a closed system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome helmet ranges quietly drop spare-part support after a season or two. The Skwal Cup's visors remain listed in Shark's spare-parts collection alongside the Ridill 2, D-Skwal 3 and Skwal i3, so that isn't a concern here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbsent by design, not oversight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone of the following is a manufacturing gap — they're simply not part of this model. No LED brake light (find that on the Skwal i3 or Skwal i Cup instead). No SHARP star rating exists for the Skwal Cup, only for the older Skwal, Skwal 2 and D-Skwal. No FIM suffix on the ECE 22.06 homologation. No MIPS liner. No electronic quick-release system. No tear-off posts on the visor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelmet, Pinlock 70 insert, and the documentation needed to register the five-year manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazilian flag colours read clearly regardless of where the helmet ends up being worn — they don't need local context to make sense the way a regional racing livery sometimes does, which is part of why national-colour replicas like this one tend to age better than season-specific graphics.\u003c\/p\u003e It's a design that will still make sense in five years, in a way a single-season team livery sometimes doesn't. That's a reasonable thing to weigh against a shorter-lived design when a replica decor is a multi-year purchase rather than a one-season accessory.\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eModel\u003c\/em\u003e — Skwal Cup Replica Granado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWeight\u003c\/em\u003e — 1,580 g (lightest shell size; +\/-50 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eHomologation\u003c\/em\u003e — ECE 22.06, 2206\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInterior\u003c\/em\u003e — Alveotech lining, washable, removable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eShell\u003c\/em\u003e — Polycarbonate, built in two shell sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eClosure\u003c\/em\u003e — Double-D closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSizes\u003c\/em\u003e — 6 sizes spanning XS-XXL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSun visor\u003c\/em\u003e — Integrated drop-down visor, crown slider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eVentilation\u003c\/em\u003e — Single front intake, twin rear exhausts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eVisor\u003c\/em\u003e — Optical class 1 visor, Pinlock insert fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWarranty\u003c\/em\u003e — Manufacturer warranty, 5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/em\u003e — Portugal origin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shark","offers":[{"title":"XS \/ Replica Eric Granado 2026 Mat BGY HE6528","offer_id":53819025785098,"sku":"HE6528BGY_XS","price":9881.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"S \/ Replica Eric Granado 2026 Mat BGY HE6528","offer_id":53819025850634,"sku":"HE6528BGY_S","price":9881.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Replica Eric Granado 2026 Mat BGY HE6528","offer_id":53819025883402,"sku":"HE6528BGY_M","price":9881.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Replica Eric Granado 2026 Mat BGY HE6528","offer_id":53819025916170,"sku":"HE6528BGY_L","price":9881.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Replica Eric Granado 2026 Mat BGY HE6528","offer_id":53819025817866,"sku":"HE6528BGY_XL","price":9881.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL \/ Replica Eric Granado 2026 Mat BGY HE6528","offer_id":53819025752330,"sku":"HE6528BGY_XXL","price":9881.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/HE6528BGY-00-shark-skwal-cup-replica-eric-granado-2026-mat-bgy-he6528-front-three-quarter-view.png?v=1790463404","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-th\/products\/skwal-cup-replica-granado-2026-mat-he6528ebgy","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
