DescriptionThe whole story▼
Hours in the saddle demand a helmet that earns its keep from the first corner to the last — and the Shark Skwal Cup Scott Redding Replica 2025 is built precisely for that. Wrapped in Scott Redding's matte blue and purple Superbike livery and carrying part number HE6531, this full-face helmet pairs genuine all-day wearability with ECE 22.06 certification and a feature set drawn straight from Shark's racing programme.
Key Features
- Alveotec interior liner — soft, antibacterial, fully removable and machine washable for lasting freshness on long tours
- Spectacle-friendly cut with chin curtain and breath guard reduces wind noise and suits riders who wear glasses
- Optical Class 1 visor with scratch and UV resistance plus an integrated drop-down sun visor for instant glare protection
- Pinlock insert included in the box — reliable anti-fog performance in rain and cold
- Speaker recesses pre-cut for intercom systems, making communication fitment straightforward
- Double-D fastening keeps the helmet precisely in place at any speed
Comfort and Fit — Built for the Long Haul
The Skwal Cup is produced in two shell sizes, which means the helmet hugs your head rather than sitting square on top of it regardless of which size you choose. The Alveotec padding is the centrepiece of the comfort story: the open-cell material breathes well, wicks moisture away from your skin and pulls out in seconds for washing. The chin curtain and breath guard work together to cut buffeting and road noise, so you arrive at your destination less fatigued. Pre-cut recesses for speakers mean you can install your preferred intercom without cutting or stretching the liner. Measure your head circumference approximately 1 cm above your ears at the widest point and match it to the size guide below for the closest possible fit.
Safety and Shell Construction
The polycarbonate shell meets ECE 22.06, currently the most demanding roadgoing helmet standard in Europe. Despite the level of protection on offer, the shell tips the scales at approximately 1,587 g (±50 g), keeping fatigue at bay across full riding days. Two shell sizes mean the structure is never over-engineered for smaller head sizes, giving a compact, aerodynamically stable profile at every size point in the range.
Ventilation and Aerodynamics
Shark refined the Skwal Cup in the wind tunnel, and the results show on the road. Crown vents draw in fresh air, chin vents direct flow across the visor interior, and rear exhaust ports pull warm air out — the EPS ventilation channels distribute that airflow evenly throughout the helmet so there are no hot spots. An integrated rear spoiler stabilises the shell at higher speeds, reducing the neck load you feel on a fast A-road or motorway run.
Visor Technology
The Optical Class 1 main visor delivers a distortion-free view across the full field of vision and resists both UV degradation and surface scratching. Tool-free visor removal keeps swaps quick whether you are changing to a tinted unit or simply cleaning. The integrated drop-down sun visor is operated from a slider on the shell and deploys instantly when the sun drops low — no need to stop and change visors. The included Pinlock insert seals against the visor to eliminate fogging in wet or cold conditions.
Scott Redding Replica Design
The HE6531 graphic is a direct replica of the livery worn by Scott Redding, one of the most recognisable names in World Superbike competition. The matte blue and purple colour combination with contrasting accents translates the paddock aesthetic onto a road-legal shell without compromise. It is a deliberately striking helmet — one that reflects a genuine connection to Superbike racing rather than a generic sports paint scheme.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Shark Skwal Cup HE6531 is a universal full-face helmet suitable for any rider seeking ECE 22.06-approved protection. It is compatible with most aftermarket intercom systems thanks to its pre-cut speaker pockets. Available in sizes XS through XXL to cover the full range of head shapes.
