Got my GT today went for a couple hour ride 50 degrees out without the pin lock little bit of fogging up not bad the helmet was quite fit perfect was totally impressed with it. Never wore helmets in the past but this helmet changed my ride for the better looking forward to a lot of time in this helmet.
The Evo gt isn’t available in the United States. But the Evo one 2 is. So I have that! I haven’t put the pin lock on yet because so far I don’t think I need it.
As always great reviews. I hear what you are saying about long reviews, but what Modular that swings all the way like these & LS2 Valiants are there for longer commutes? Just not many choices.
As normal a very informative video , I have The Shark evo es, the one before the new GT, I love my es, and the new GT upgrades isn't enough to change up. I got my es, from yourselves and its Awesome, so I won't be changing. Keep up the Great videos Chris & Crew 👍👍👍
I have the model before this the Evo ES. Anti for just means instead of fogging up it wets up. I still can’t see what speed I’m doing as the bottom of the visor is all wet! And the chin vent toggle is RUBBISH a flimsy swivel open and close, wish they’d move to to a sliding option. The other problem is closing the chin bar I have to do each side separately with my left hand, I found I have to push down and towards my face to get it locked. My old Caberg Duke I’d just push down and it locked! My lower visor seal has come loose on one of the sides I’ve glued it twice now and it has still come loose, so I’ll have to do it again, I do carry the helmet from the chin bar as that is real life practical. I don’t find it noisy with ear plugs and music on I can barely hear sirens. Would I buy it again YES, because the options are limited on flip backs and the Shark fits me perfectly. Price is very reasonable for what you are getting despite the niggles.
Finally got try one on today, was curious about the size variation/comparison from the full face, Spartan (not the Spartan GT). I wear a XXL Spartan, but the EVO GT only goes to a XL in size. Delighted to say that the XL fits my massive noggin! Also, I didn't notice any pinching or difficulty closing the chin bar even though I do have a wide face, perfectly fine.
Really liked the review, thoroughly informative, presenters style was very easy to listen to, so much so I've bought one! Unfortunately not from you! Saved a whopping £100 but thanks for the info anyway👍
Something you didn't mention. The material inside adapts (gives way) over time to your head. My Evo One 2 was very tight and uncomfortable. Closing the chin bar was a torture. After using it every day for 6 months it was perfectly adjusted. Closing and opening chin bar has become quick and easy. I owned a Schubert and Shoei, however Evo One 2 is my favored. Excellent review, many thanks.
Dear Andrew, the Shark is quite a round fit; rounder than a Schuberth. If you have an oval-shaped head, it won’t be perfect, and it could end up being a bit noisy because to get the right length, front to back, it may well end up too generous on the sides. CC.
I love the idea of this type of helmet but how strong is that front chin bar in a crash? Sure better than nothing but they look a bit more flimsy than the other style of flip up style of helmets and they seem to fail easy in some tests I have seen. Still I really like the look of this helmet.
very well made public info...loved the truth and reality of chris's presentation. sorry about the non christmas card from shark. have you reviewed the u-com system chris? i am on the look out for such a comms system. wish i was living nearer to your shop. steve
It's a bit specific, but i'd like to suggest a test of communication systems for rider and passenger (not other riders) using specific helmets. I found out the cardo system triggers communication with wind noise, even when you're not speaking, when we use a shark evo ES helmet. Keeping it completely closed improves things a bit, but still not perfect. It seems the passenger helmet ends up with more wind noise, and it ends up cutting off streaming music because it thinks we're talking.
Great video, could you please tell me what helmet is that over your right shoulder on the middle row the white with a red bar? Looks to have very nice lines thanks
Hi..was just wondering. I am thinking of getting an Evo, but upon looking and trying it on, i noticed that the chin guard, when its closed, and latched into position, there seems to be a little free play. The same does not ring true with the older model. Is this free play normal for the EVO? Many thanks. Love your reviews
I do 300 to 400miles days with this helmet no problem. I have both a evo one and one two, I purchased the es visor for the evo one two and works great and use this for 9months of the year and the pinlock 70 with the standard visor. When the 70 is weathered I will. Purchase the 120.for winter use. Great helmet and I hear the GT is a lot quiter with better venting.
That is what I hear also, that the GT is quiter with increased ventilation. I saw these from Champion reviews which would make it better for longer commutes than mentioned here. Don't get me wrong, Motolegends has great reviews which I trust. Perhaps I'm just hoping the GT will serve better than it sounds here.
Best video detailing in all-honesty, the history and evolution (excuse the pun) of the Evo line (another pun) and it's shortcomings and attempts at perfecting the series. Thank you for your candor!

By far, the best helmet review I have ever watched, thank you so much!
Nice one Chris...Good clear information too mate :-)
wow im impressed...

You can put the GT or the evo one two visor and pinlock in the es. Make it better for colder weather driving.

The anti-fog coating inside the visor is garbage, mine disappeared in the first three months without any exposure to chemicals, polish or UV.

Hate to say in 2024, shark skwal i3 still cone with pin lock 70 only

Does Cardo pactalkt bold black (with 45mm JBL speakers) fit to Shark Evo GT?
Yes
I found the es did not work it fogged all the time I. cold damp conditions

Love the reviews and the channel. Another detailed review. Thank you
-Shark evo GT vs LS2 Advant X vs Scorpion evo Tech Carbon . ........wich is the better
Would you say this is for a rounder head or more intermediate oval. Great video 👍

I have the es my visor antifog is shit i have had a number of stickon inserts to try sort it
I find that my shoie has gotten tight around my ears when taking it of, guess my head is getting bigger. Will changing the cheak pads help?? Thanks
Great video, could you please tell me what helmet is that over your right shoulder on the middle row the white with a red bar? Looks to have very nice lines thanks
I had a Roof Boxer back then but i bought this one this time because the design is way better imo.
Which would you go for? Shark Evo GT or the Scorpion EXO-Tech?
Great presenter!! Awesome salesman. How long to get one to the US? Thx!
02:26 explaining the evolution of the design and differences
Been looking forward to you guys reviewing this... cracking review, thanks for mentioning the Sharktooth comms unit

The chin guard should be clicked in place.
Great review, thank you!

A very, very good review!
Can you provide me with the name of the Inter com system you recommended that pairs with seña.
Interphone UCOMM
I commute 365. This helmet is fab. Ear plugs block sound.
thank you for your review!
I assume in closed position view is very limited?
It has a max vision visor so there is a large area of view.

🖐🖐🖐
So a heavy 30 mile, 60 mph plastic helmet for those without round faces that don't mind the noise ... lol
I just got the Evo GT, and I find it quieter than my previous Shoei Neotec 1.
This is the most thorough review on this helmet I have ever seen! thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
