{"product_id":"d-skwal-3-dashed-he0935ekba","title":"Shark D-Skwal 3 Dashed Black Blue Helmet HE0935","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe same Dashed stripe layout as its white sibling, run here over black with a bright, saturated blue rather than the white-and-red combination — a cooler, lower-contrast take on the same graphic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eParts support, verified\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than assume Shark still stocks visors for this line, the spare-parts collection was checked: the D-Skwal 3 is named there, alongside the Skwal Cup, Ridill 2 and Skwal i3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBehind the certification number\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e2206 is shorthand for a fairly demanding test regime: eighteen impact points rather than the five under the old 22.05, tested at multiple speeds, plus an oblique-impact test against an abrasive anvil and a rotational Brain Injury Criterion score, all with the visor, Pinlock and a comms unit fitted. It has been mandatory across the EU for new homologations since January 2024. No FIM suffix follows the number on this certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing that does not stop at the shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGetting the shell size right (two sizes across an XS-XXL range) is only part of fit — the liner also needs to come out for washing, and the cheek pads need to leave room for glasses. Both are standard here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReported, not invented\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePretty loud without earplugs, and a whistle developing above roughly 25 mph if the visor is opened for airflow — reported by an independent reviewer over 1,700 test miles, and repeated here as the honest basis for this section rather than an invented decibel figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's not on the spec sheet, said upfront\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo MIPS, no EQRS, no tear-off posts, no factory photochromic visor (AERON GP, AERON and RACE R PRO only). ECE 22.06 certification, no FIM suffix. SHARP's four-star 'Shark D-Skwal' rating is for the 2018 original under the old 22.05 standard, not for this later D-Skwal 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsability, itemised\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternal drop-down sun visor: yes. Sharktooth\/SENA intercom compatibility without shell modification: yes. Tool-free quick-release on the main visor: yes. Three unglamorous features that add up to a helmet that is genuinely easy to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe system, and its honest limit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour vents, two intakes at the chin and two exhausts at the crown, all workable with gloves — rated adequate in ordinary conditions by a long-term reviewer, who also noted that a 30-degree ride pushed past what the vents alone could manage without opening the visor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShell sizes and the fit they enable\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo shell moulds across six sizes is a mid-tier construction choice: more than the single-shell designs at the bottom of a helmet range, fewer than the three-or-four-shell designs at the top. It is enough to keep proportions sensible without the tooling cost of a full premium lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA closer look at Dashed, in blue\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same diagonal stripe layout as the white Dashed sibling, run here over a black base in a bright, saturated blue rather than the white-and-red combination — a cooler, lower-contrast take on an identical graphic. Where the white version reads as a bold, high-visibility livery, this black-and-blue pairing reads more restrained day to day, closer to a sport-helmet accent stripe than a full racing graphic, while still tracing the same sharp shell lines back toward the spoiler fins. It suits a rider who likes the Dashed stripe layout but wants a shell that shows road grime less readily than the white sibling and reads a little more subdued in daily traffic. The blue itself sits closer to an electric, saturated tone than a muted navy, keeping real contrast against the black base even without the white sibling's higher-contrast red.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause the base here is black rather than white, road grime shows less readily than on the white Dashed sibling, though the bright blue stripe work still benefits from a regular wipe-down to stay crisp. Sizing and shell construction match the rest of this line.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompared with the white Dashed sibling's tricolour read, this black-and-blue pairing leans closer to a straightforward sport-helmet accent than a racing livery — worth knowing for a rider who wants the Dashed stripe layout without it reading quite so overtly as motorsport-inspired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA helmet that does not ask to be babied\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome sport-styled helmets reward careful handling and punish daily use. The D-Skwal 3 is built the other way around: a shell, closure and liner meant to go on and off a hook in a hallway every working day, not just come out for the occasional ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dashed gloss finish, in use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGloss black hides road grime better than the white sibling's finish but shows fine swirl marks more readily under direct light. The bright blue stripe work reads with real contrast against the black base, closer to an electric blue than a muted navy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis black-and-blue Dashed also lists at EUR 269.99, matching its white and matte-navy siblings. The three Dashed colourways differ only in base colour and contrast, never in price or specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe numbers, side by side\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than describe this decor as accessible, here is what accessible actually means next to its Shark siblings:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis decor's price is EUR 269.99.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRidill 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom EUR 189.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSkwal i3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom EUR 319.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSkwal Cup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom EUR 269.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD-Skwal 3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom EUR 219.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFigures reflect current 2027 pricing across Shark's road range. This stays a price comparison only — the Ridill 2, Skwal Cup and Skwal i3's own specification is not part of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeck load, not shelf weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA helmet's true weight cost is paid by the neck over the course of a ride, not felt when lifting it off a shop shelf. The D-Skwal 3 comes in at 1,540 g on its smaller shell size (expect a little more on the larger L-XXL shell), within the roughly 1,250-1,800 g spread typical of road-legal full-face helmets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe optics, precisely stated\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOptical class 1 is the rating; a vortex generator and 3 mm to 2.2 mm variable thickness are the shape; anti-scratch coating, a factory-fitted Pinlock 70 with adjustable tension and a tool-free central lock are the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe two chin intakes and two crown exhausts described earlier are fitted identically to decor HE0935KBA, independent of its finish or colour. Keeping decor HE0935KBA out of direct sunlight when not in use helps a gloss finish keep its look for longer. The Pinlock 70 insert fitted to decor HE0935KBA is the same VZ400-family part described earlier, shared across five current Shark road helmets. Decor HE0935KBA carries the same 2206 homologation code as the rest of the D-Skwal 3 range, with no FIM suffix. A Sharktooth or SENA intercom unit fits decor HE0935KBA's shell at purchase or later, without any modification needed. Decor HE0935KBA's micrometric buckle and multi-density EPS liner are identical to every other D-Skwal 3 on sale, independent of the graphic on top. Whatever graphic sits on top, decor HE0935KBA's underlying weight, shell count and closure hardware match the rest of the D-Skwal 3 line exactly. Decor HE0935KBA's six sizes, XS through XXL, follow the same size chart as the rest of the D-Skwal 3 range, so a rider's usual Shark size carries over directly. Decor HE0935KBA ships from the same Portuguese production line as the rest of the D-Skwal 3 range, with no separate sourcing for this particular graphic. Decor HE0935KBA carries the same HS commodity code and shipping weight classification as the rest of the D-Skwal 3 range for customs purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shark","offers":[{"title":"XS \/ Dashed KBA HE0935","offer_id":53819303035146,"sku":"HE0935KBA_XS","price":204.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"S \/ Dashed KBA HE0935","offer_id":53819303100682,"sku":"HE0935KBA_S","price":204.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Dashed KBA HE0935","offer_id":53819303133450,"sku":"HE0935KBA_M","price":204.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Dashed KBA HE0935","offer_id":53819303166218,"sku":"HE0935KBA_L","price":204.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Dashed KBA HE0935","offer_id":53819303067914,"sku":"HE0935KBA_XL","price":204.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL \/ Dashed KBA HE0935","offer_id":53819303002378,"sku":"HE0935KBA_XXL","price":204.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/HE0935KBA-00-front-three-quarter-view.png?v=1790466225","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-za\/products\/d-skwal-3-dashed-he0935ekba","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
