{"product_id":"aeron-raceblock-red-he0117edru","title":"Shark Aeron Raceblock Carbon Red Chrom Helmet HE0117","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe same Raceblock graphic reappears here in Carbon Red Chrom, a hard-edged red running back from the visor toward the spoiler instead of blue, with the same chrome-toned finish that shifts under changing light rather than sitting flat. As with its blue counterpart in this same line, the colour description here comes from Shark's own supplier naming for the code; no manufacturer photo of this specific decor was available at the time of writing, so nothing here claims to have been checked against an image this listing could see. Where a photograph exists for a sibling decor in this range, this listing says so and checks the wording against it — here, honestly, that step could not be done, and the gap is stated rather than papered over with a confident-sounding description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot the FIM flagship\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorth stating before any spec: this helmet is the Aeron, not the FIM-homologated Aeron GP FIM 2 sold separately in Shark's range. The price list carries the Norme code 2206 with no FIM suffix for every decor of this line, this one included — a road-approval standard, not a competition one. The two helmets share their material philosophy and spoiler development, not a homologation level or a price bracket, and this listing keeps that distinction explicit rather than letting the shared name blur it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShell: COVA carbon and aramid\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShark builds this shell from its COVA composite, carbon fibre and aramid fibre at roughly an 80\/20 blend, moulded across two shell sizes rather than one size padded to fit the whole range. The manufacturer's own spec table for current 2027 Aeron decors states 1,440 g for the first, smallest shell — read from the same structured data source used across this line, not carried over from a differently sized or differently constructed decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat ECE 22.06 actually tests\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shell carries ECE 22.06, the standard that took over from 22.05 as the EU's mandatory approval for newly homologated helmets in January 2024. The scope of what changed is substantial: eighteen strike points rather than five, several impact speeds instead of a single one, and a genuinely new oblique-impact test against an abrasive anvil that 22.05 never included, scored for the rotational forces a glancing hit produces rather than only a straight drop's force. Fitted accessories, visor included, stay on the shell for every test performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWeight as a number your neck carries all day\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1,440 g is the figure Shark publishes for this shell's smallest size. Numbers like that read as trivia in a spec sheet and feel like something else entirely by the end of a long ride: every gram sits above your neck through every head movement for as long as the helmet is on, not only in the instant an impact is absorbed. A carbon-aramid composite earns whatever it costs largely in that cumulative sense, not in how it photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation: five in, seven out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive intakes at the front and seven exhausts at the back give this shell more exit paths than intake paths, a deliberate imbalance designed to actively pull warm air away from the head rather than rely on passive drift. That matters more on a warm ring road or a full track session than a spec sheet number usually suggests — a shell that only lets air in without a matching path out tends to trap heat exactly where it is least wanted, at the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVisor and Pinlock\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fitted visor is Optical Class 1, anti-fog and anti-scratch treated, with a tool-free quick-release mechanism and integrated tear-off posts for track use. Pinlock compatibility is built in as standard; the Max Vision 120 Pinlock housing and the separate Instant Photochromic visor Shark sells for this platform are both accessories, not standard fitment on any current decor of this helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior and fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Best Fit interior uses removable, washable Alvéotech antimicrobial textile with Easy Fit grooves cut for glasses arms. A magnetic double-D buckle handles retention, and a SHARK Emergency Remove System is built into the cheek pads for use by first responders. Two shell sizes cover the six head sizes on offer, XS through XXL, rather than one shell stretched across the whole range with extra padding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWind noise, honestly\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sealed chin bar and a full-face shell are quieter at speed than any open helmet as a matter of basic construction, and nothing about this decor changes that geometry. No manufacturer decibel figure exists for this specific model, so none is quoted here — the wind-tunnel work behind the spoiler targets drag and stability, which is a related but different measurement from cabin noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere this decor sits on price\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the current Aeron range, plain decors open the ladder at €649.99, graphic decors — this Raceblock colourway among them — sit at €719.99, and replica liveries run to €749.99. The FIM-homologated Aeron GP FIM 2 starts well above the whole line at €1,199.99, the flagship version of this platform that this helmet is deliberately not.\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 visor does not retire this helmet — Shark stocks the Aeron\/Aeron GP visor family under its own part numbers across the whole platform, so a replacement stays available independent of how long this particular graphic stays in the catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this helmet does not have\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaid directly: no SHARP rating applies to this decor with any confidence. A SHARP entry exists for an \"Aeron GP\" tested in August 2025, but it links to a now-discontinued replica decor from an earlier model generation that cannot be confirmed as the same shell as this 2027 build — it is not treated here as settling the question. No MIPS, no DOT or Snell approval, no wind-noise figure, and no manufacturer image available to confirm this exact colourway visually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe helmet ships with the visor fitted, a helmet cover, reflective bands, five breath filters and both summer and winter anti-fog masks, plus Shark's documentation for the 5-year warranty. None of that box content changes between decors on this shell — the graphic and the colour are the only variables from one Aeron to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Shark","offers":[{"title":"XS \/ Raceblock DRU HE0117","offer_id":53819340947722,"sku":"HE0117DRU_XS","price":647.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"S \/ Raceblock DRU HE0117","offer_id":53819340914954,"sku":"HE0117DRU_S","price":647.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Raceblock DRU HE0117","offer_id":53819340849418,"sku":"HE0117DRU_M","price":647.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Raceblock DRU HE0117","offer_id":53819340980490,"sku":"HE0117DRU_L","price":647.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Raceblock DRU HE0117","offer_id":53819340882186,"sku":"HE0117DRU_XL","price":647.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL \/ Raceblock DRU HE0117","offer_id":53819340816650,"sku":"HE0117DRU_XXL","price":647.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/HE0117DRU__1_AERON_RACEBLOCK_DRU_34Lfront_GLOSSY_HE0117DRU.png?v=1790601764","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/aeron-raceblock-red-he0117edru","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
