Shark Skwal Visor Broken - Dammit!
Blog Date - 28 February 2018
Sharon and I both purchased Shark's Skwal helmets in July '17. I plumped for a simple plain white Skwal whereas Sharon, being a bit flash, bought the D-Skwal with trick graphics and lights. Yes - lights.
I found mine to be tight around the cheeks initially but it soon settled in to be a good helmet. Sharon's has been OK too, however she's finding hers not to be quite as comfortable and fog-free as the previous Sharks she's owned. Up until recently I'd say our purchases have been "satisfactory" rather than "impressive".
Then on my way home from mother dearest's place last week I pulled in to give my visor a wipe. I keep a J-Cloth in my pocket for those moments when the road salt, rain, dirt and grime have built up and a quick wipe down will improve visibility. When I lifted the visor to wipe the inside the visor popped out of it's mechanism.
Ah - right. It's one of them there quick release types. No worries, I'll just pop it back in. Except rather than simply popping out it had snapped one of the "C" arms. It's hard to explain with words so I'll let you see this image.
Gosh darn it.
DAMN! This is a £150 helmet. This isn't a £40 cheapie this is mid range and considered of good quality. I am disappointed. What disappoints me even more is the realisation that a replacement will cost me £46. Oh for goodness sake.
I've been riding for 29 years. I estimate I've covered around half a million miles. In all that time I have killed countless waterproofs, clothes and motorcycles yet I have only ever broken one other visor and that was from my BIG crash. I've never broken a visor by opening it. Until this day.
Sharon informs me that this is a very well documented problem for the Skwal range and Shark know about it. Using the power of Facebook I have the following conversation with Shark.
Ren -
Hi. I have a Skwal that I purchased in July this year. This evening the visor has broken around the claw where it attaches to the helmet. I got the helmet from FC Moto in Germany. How would I go about organising a warranty claim from the UK?
Shark -
Hello Ren Withnell,
First we apologize for what happened to your helmet.
Indeed, we received some complaints on screen breakage.
To always exceed the expectations of our customers, we decided to adjust the geometry of the ends of the screen.
These changes have been implemented since June 2017.
You can check if you got the latest version by looking at the number that is on right side of your visor. If this number is 017/094 or more, you have the new version.
We invite you to contact your nearest SHARK Helmets retailers to order (for free if your Skwal is under warranty) this new visor reference ############### .
Thank you.
Have a good day.
Ren -
That is fabulous. I'll check the visor when I get home tonight and take things from there. Many thanks.
Note - I've blanked out the visor reference because I don't want someone else to use it!
017/090 means my visor is an earlier version.
My next step is to go to somewhere that sells Shark helmets. I wonder what the reception will be like because as you can see I purchased the helmet online. Urgh, but still. I have checked the number on my visor and it reads "017/090" so my visor is one of the earlier types. I presume they have made changes to strengthen the claw.
I visit Millennium Motorcycles in St Helens quite often, there's a cafe and a few friends congregate there. They stock Shark helmets. I, well, I don't really want to do this. I didn't buy my helmet from them yet I'm going to ask them to go to the hassle of getting me a replacement visor. Still. Chin up Ren, be a man, I am merely following Shark's instructions. Urgh.
"I have a Shark Skwal helmet..." as I pull out the visor.
"It's broken, yeah we've had loads. We've none in stock, we'll order you one."
And that was it. No asking for proof of purchase, no inspection of the damage. I left them with my name and my number and that was that. A week and a half later I get an answerphone message stating the visor is now in and I can collect it anytime.
The visor is now on my helmet. All is well with the world once again. The only difference is now I have a spare Agrius Rage helmet I purchased for £35. £35, that's less than the cost of the Shark Visor. While the Agrius lacks the Shark's finesse and quality feel it is still a perfectly adequate helmet and scores the same 4 stars in the safety tests.
There we go, shiny new visor fitted and working.
While not as refined as the Shark the Agrius is a perfectly satisfactory lid.
I remain somewhat disenfranchised by the Shark Skwal now. I'm not entirely sure I can trust it. It's fine for local riding but imagine, imagine I'm in Spain or The Netherlands and the visor breaks - again. Stephen Latchford had his fancy Shoei helmet break at the visor pivot mechanism while in Spain. He had to purchase an "el cheapo" helmet for the rest of the trip and post the Shoei home in the "el cheapo" box. Maybe "el cheapo" is the future.
If yer buying owt from Amazon - use me link below. If ya do buy owt it meks me rich innit.

Personally, I have never spent more than £80 for a helmet and I always choose helmets that have got at least 4* in the Sharp tests. The GMac pilot is a very good value lid, 4* and only about £25 - £35 if you shop around on-line. I'd rather buy one of these and replace it after 3 or 4 years. If I'd spent £300 plus I'd be 'quite upset' at the idea of throwing it away after that amount of time.
PS. Your miserly nature must be affecting me through t'interweb Ren.
PPS. Actually, no, on reflection I've always been as tight as a Ducks derriere.....

Welcome to my world. My schuberth has had 3 visor mechanisms. 1 pin lock visor pin and 2 visors. They replaced the first 1 of each under warranty but I had to pay for the others.

I agree with Pete Frog. Cheap and cheerful as long as it fits. The visor "mechanism" on my Nitro is merely a hole with a large headed bolt through it - unlikely to fail......

I wonder...
I guess the "high end" helmets have to keep up with the other high end brands. If Shoei create the Super Duper Multi Faceted Easy Visor then AGV need to come back with the Super Duper Mega Double Chocolate Quick Visor. While doing this the hardcore long term R&D gets put to one side. Hence helmets with issues - primarily the visor to helmet interface.
El Cheapo lids just use what they know will work.

Always remember.
Never NEVER NEVER buy a schuberth helmet. They are totally crap....
Except for the M1 which is quite good.

Hi ALl,
I have the same helmet in black. I have bought it about 2 and a half year ago. I have broken five visors at all. I think it's the worst technology that Shark had chosen. It won't work at all. It breaks every 3000-4000 km. It is very annoying. And I will forget Shark. Last they said that they solved the problem with another compound and it will last forever. But today it has broken again. And again and again and again. My question is what should I do during a long tour or trip? Shall I bring some reserve with me???? No!!! No more patience. I will get it in the rubbish. You should do the same.
Bye, GG

Hi GG. I'm disheartened to read your message.
When my visor broke I purchased a cheap helmet while I waited for the new visor. I have been using the Shark as my daily helmet and so far, 4 months later, it's fine. But I have lost some faith in it.
I've just been to Spain for almost 2 weeks and rather than taking the expensive Shark I took the cheap Agrius helmet. I'll continue to use the Shark for local runs simply to get my money's worth out of it.
In future I will be looking much harder at visor mechanisms when I'm buying helmets.

My 15 years old, ultra cheap, Nau-helmets have Been the best, in every way, nothing broken, best shape, keep shape, keep good looking, good cloosing mechanism, still looks like they Will serve med for years and years to come
My wife got a fancy new Carberg with flip, If we are lucky I Guess it Will last max 5 years,..
Once again, you DONT her what you Pay for

15 years is rather a long time to keep a helmet - I generally change mine after 5 - 6 years.
But I agree the cheap ones are often the best - I've found that Nitro fit my head well, are comfortable and very reasonably priced.
Ren - why not just chuck the expensive helmet as GG did? What's the point in having one you can't trust?

Ren - The Ed said :-
In the interest of being environmentally friendly (and maximising my return on investment) I shall continue to use the Shark helmet until it is rendered worn out. By using it for local runs (which is most of my riding) if the visor does "fall apart" once more I am not too far from home and grabbing my spare helmet. This also means the spare helmet, the cheap one, will last longer.
Unless you wear a helmet day in day out as I do perhaps it's hard to appreciate I can wear out a helmet within 2 years. With the constant putting on and removal and general wear and tear they go slack, which is not healthy.

Henrik said :-
Got 2 Nau's ,... another one, and some off-road helmets
So its not that I have used one single Nau helmet for 15 years for everything
Still they are very used, and proven, to be absolutely the best for me
Meanwhile I see expensive helmets getting rediculess fails and fall apart around me, and I am happy I just bought the two cheap Naus back then
They where around 25 GBP each

In my ideal world Henrik I'd have a small camper like the VW T5 in the picture and a trailer with either a 125 or 250 on it. I'd use the van to cover the big boring miles and the motorcycle to explore.
I had a quick look around the net and the present range of Nau helmets while not the most expensive are no longer dirt cheap. I suspect they've gone up-market a little.

I have gone through 3 skwal visors all broken in the same place as yours... it's caused by pulling up the visor. Currently looking for my 4th one as I broke the previous one last summer. Now only use it in winter and a cheap one for the summer with no pinlock.. would not buy from shark again
15/08/2018 08:56:40 UTC
Ren - The Ed said :-
Oh bummer Wasnatwas. I'm assuming you've had the latest visor greater than 017/094 as per the post?
The other thing I'll do to get the use from the lid is lubricate the pivot mechanism to ensure I don't have to heave on it to get it open. I'll wait and see if it helps.

Keith said :-
I have the exact same break now what ?
These visors are priced as if to last 2 life times
I think that the opening lip should be in the centre
Of te visor to correct this problem , as to have the same
amount of pressure on each side when opening the visor
What do you think
Is it that easy to sort out this problem ?
Really mad about this
26/08/2018 21:26:08 UTC
Ren - The Ed said :-
I think having the opening lip in the centre on any visor should even out the stresses of opening them. Thing is plenty of other helmets have the "offset" opening lip and they don't suffer. I know Shark know they've dropped a clanger here. It won't do their reputation any good at all, it would certainly put me off getting another.
My replacement visor so far has been OK. BUT - while I'm happy to use the lid for local stuff I won't be taking it on longer trips where I can't get home to collect my spare. I'll just use it for commuting so I can get investment out of it.

I have had two previous Shark helmets before buying the Skwal. Both were excellent helmets.
I have yet to suffer from a broken visor on my Skwal (fingers crossed) but I am aware of the problem so I try to be extra careful when opening and closing the visor.
Even though my visor is intact and even though I love the graphics on my Skwal and it's funky lights, function wise I am not in love with this helmet like my previous Sharks.
It is less comfortable and more noisy then either of the other two.
I wonder if Shark thought more about looks and flashing lights than functionality on this model.
I would not personally buy another Skwal but I would buy another Shark because of how great the other ones were.
So don't dismiss Shark as a brand just because of one bad model. However if this was my first experience of Shark helmets I can understand why others have said never again.
I just wish we could road test helmets in some way. Because they are expensive mistakes if we choose a wrong one and how can we know they are wrong until after we have purchased them and put them on out heads and thus made them unreturnable.

Peter said :-
Hi,
I recently experienced very much the same with my brand-new Shark Skwal.
Fortunately, I just arrived back home from another trip on a beautiful sunny day.
When opening the visor, it immediately snapped out on the left side. Part of the the "C-Ring" of the visor was broken and still stuck in the helmet. When removing the visor entirely I found that it was also broken on the right side, but not yet snapped out of the fixture. The number on my visor reads "016/043" That helmet was not even five months old.
I bought it online at Helmexpress.com in Austria and contacted the shop via E-Mail explaining the matter. The shop quickly replied on the next day and offered to send me a new visor as a gesture of goodwill. Within a few days I had a new visor for free. They also sent me an E-Mail with a sticker for free return delivery of the broke visor.
All things considered the return and replacing procedure of the visor with Helmexpress.com was quick and easy. Yet I am disappointed that it happened in the first place and feel somewhat disturbed about the wording "as a gesture of goodwill", because the helmet was obviously still under the five-year warranty.
Cheers,
Pete

Only just read about the Shark helmet issues. Not good and wouldn't be easy to sort out on a trip. Tried one on, early 2018 when replacing Shoei Qwest, the fit, comfort and quality just wasn't there. Glad I didn't buy.
Regarding the warranty, I'd love to read the small print.

Hi Peter. I understand Shark knows they have an issue and seem to be replacing the visors without quarrel. SO FAR...my new visor is holding up but Is still stand by the notion that I've lost faith in it and won't use it for big trips. Shame. I guess they dropped the ball badly.

Me too.. Had my Skwal 3 years and gone through 4 visors..
My local Shark dealer weren't so accommodating - I guess because I don't write a blog!
I'm due to replace my lid this year and won't consider Shark again..

Ren - The Ed said :-
Hi Dan. Yip! I have just snapped my second visor. The shop at St Helens has ordered me another for "free" but talking to the chap he is, frankly, quite hacked off with ordering visor after visor after visor after visor. Especially as people who did not buy the helmet from them are using their services.
The shop doesn't know I write a blog. I am not famous, I don't get special treatment, I can't stand there saying things like "Do you know who I am!!" I don't get recognised in the street, I don't get freebies to test (well it has happened once a few years back). I'm pushing my luck with some of the local shops regarding test rides as they're starting to realise I'm not actually going to buy anything.
Of course I would LIKE all these things. I'm waiting to be "discovered" doncha know :-)
13/03/2019 08:59:23 UTC
Upt'North said :-
I'm with you there brother, why would you buy another one of the same that has been a pain in the arris. If this happened hundreds or thousands of miles from home it would be an interesting ride back. You'd have thought they would produced an altered design, but they probably prefer you dig deep and buy another. I've personally never had a visor break after many miles. I did try one of these helmets on last spring when I was in the market for a new helmet due to age, it was like an ancient torture implement on my odd shaped bonce. Blummin horrible.

I've given up on my schuberth helmet the day it breaks again it goes straight in the bin all £ 475 worth. I will sell the communicator system. Fortunately it has a 3 year warranty so I've not paid much once I found out who did the warranty work.
My next helmet will be the schuberth m1. Totally different design of visor and which doesn't seem to have any bad reviews so far only decent ones.
It's cheaper and gets good safety ratings for an open face.

Bought my Shark Skwal helmet back in 2015. Broke the visor 2x. Only 2x because I was too mean to buy more. Riding with a broken visor over a year. It was fine when closed. Could not open it. So summer when you want to opened it up to let some air in.... was hard to survive ??
Now I need to clean my visor after a heavy rain... Dirt got between the visor and the pin lock.... And scared to take it off. For sure it will snap again. Really bad system. My new helmet is not shark and has the regular visor system. No more SIMPLE INNOVATIVE visor systems.

Now Sharon's Skwal visor has broken and Millennium Motorcycles are sick of the sight of us. I'm just glad I'm not the design or testing or quality control manager at Shark.
Maybe just tape the visor closed and hold your breath so it doesn't mist up. It'll be fine as long as you don't ride for more than a minute at a time.

My Shark is in regular use - but only for my domestic runs. I'm "using my investment". If I'm to do any longer runs I'll take my cheap yet reliable Agrius Rage, which costs less than a visor for the Shark if you did indeed buy one and not get it replaced under warranty.

The visor should be covered for manufacturing defects but I doubt wear and tear, you'll need to comply with the following....
PROCEDURES
When the helmet is sold, the warranty card containing all pertinent information must be completed and returned to SHARK Helmets SA by the purchaser.
All warranty claims must be filed with the SHARK Helmets dealer that sold the helmet.
For a warranty claim to be considered valid, the purchaser must notify the dealer of the problem encountered and return the defective helmet, along with the warranty card completed at the time of helmet purchase.
Which all reads a little like it might be a bit of a bother.

I, erm... errr... purchased my helmet online from Germany as it was a lot cheaper. I got the replacement visors (I've broken 2, Sharon's broken 1) from a local bike shop that sells Sharks. Cheeky, very cheeky I know. The dealer was VERY frustrated with the number of Skwal visors he's had to send off for and he does not get paid for his time to organise this. So try a local shop that sells Shark helmets but be kind and patient with the staff.
I never completed the warranty card. If one shop won't play ball try another, otherwise contact Shark directly .

Ian Soady said :-
I would forget warranties. Your contract is with the shop you bought it from and is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Essentially this says that anything bought must be fit for purpose. Your visor clearly isn't.

Upt'North said :-
Yes, like many, I'm no stranger to an online bargain, but it can be a pain in the arris when things go wrong. Our last Shoei's were bought from Honda Newcastle about 2 years ago and when asked politely about a discount they came up trumps. There attitude also secured them another sale of a pair of Sidi boots for Er'Indoors which were £90.00, down from £180.00.
I also think that if Covid has taught us anything it's that we should look after our local shops, unfortunately for us that means a 50 mile drive each way for bike stuff.

My problem is I find the visor so soft that if you wipe the rain off and if there is a small bit of grit are anything it scratches so so easy this is my second one in a year and I am now anger as with my previous Nolan I had no such problem.i am going to email shark as I am done.

Gareth, I wonder if it would be worth raising with trading standards or whatever they're now called. Anti scratch is a legal requirement, isn't it? Are you sure it's a genuine Shark?
Although for your sanity it's probably easier to put it away as a spare and buy some'at decent, if the visor is this crappy what's the rest like?

I can't say I had a problem with scratches but then a) I take pains not to wipe visors with gloves for this reason b) I didn't get to use the lid enough to discover it's scratch resistant properties. I think Shark may take a while to recover from this well documented calamity

I feel your pain Lee. When buying a helmet in the future I'll be looking closely at the visor mounting mechanism for weak points and potential issues. I can't see what's wrong with a regular bolt through a hole in the visor. It's all very well and good making something quick release and click-tastic but if it breaks and ruins the helmet and thus the company's reputation? It only takes a moment to undo a screw for goodness sake.

Wayne Phillips said :-
Had this information from Shark, but in Australia they will not honour the warranty, "All our skwal are fitted with new visor fixing plates.
We remain at your disposal
Not sure if I believe this as some people are still reporting broken visors. Some dealers here will no longer stock Shark because of the amount of unsuccessful warranty claims. It is a very poor company.
18/06/2022 06:45:57 UTC
Ren - The Ed¹ said :-
Hi Wayne Phillips. It seems Shark lost customers worldwide with this massive faux pas then. As you say too they've probably lost a lot of dealers too.
The last helmet I've purchased has a very simple hole and bolt mounting for the visor and relies simply on friction to keep it in place. No fancy clicks or quick release or trick mounting and you know what, it works a treat. If I need more friction just the merest of turns gives me that, less friction just turn the other way a smidge. This being said I can easily see a ham fisted gorilla overtightening the bolt and splitting the visor around the hole.
It's just a good job I'm not a helmet manufacturer.

I bought a Shark Skwal in June 2018 and I'm on my 3rd visor, the last one broke after only 1000 miles. I will never EVER buy a Shark helmet again. Oh and mine is the up dated version. You can't trust them at all on long or short journeys.

I think you and many others Scotty. Fortunately for me, I ain't got one.
I posted here just last month that Shoei sent me two replacement cheek pads when there were minor cosmetic issues with the foam, the helmet was around 4 years old.
They were sent free of charge and first class mail too.

Bought a Sqwal from my local dealer in August 2018 and I was really happy with it until the lights stopped working. These were replaced by Shark through the dealer. The dealer no longer supplies Shark products and my visor has just snapped at the hinge. It’s code is 014/002, so I’ve been in to the original dealer and he says he’ll contact Shark - not holding my breath! I had a pin lock visor fitted inside my Shark visor - I guess even if I get a replacement visor, the old pin lock visor will be f####d, so I will have to buy another one, or will they replace that too?
24/09/2022 17:49:04 UTC

Pippa, I hope you get some joy, although I can't see why Shark would help after 4 years unless they've agreed there is an issue. I think I would be looking elsewhere for a new helmet, is the suggested helmet life 5 years? Maybe, maybe not. It seems the dealer is going the extra mile at least.
It might be worth sending Shark customer service a polite email, I had good results with Shoei earlier this year.
Good luck.

Dear All,
unfortunately I have to join your group too.. :(
But first.., Harry if you could still read this top, and if its help to you (first unscrew the two side covers, and unstuck, than pull down the inner tinted visor, maybe only the center of the blanket has been deformed just like mine)
So, my problem is the same as yours after 2 visor. :S
Let me honest, I have no idea who I can contact in Hungary, because both the helmet and the visor are from Austria, from second-hand, without any invoice. I'm also quite angry. and my number is 017/122 on the visor, except the smoke one, because there is no sticker on it.
If You have any idea /or advice about that, just let me know, pls. :D
*of course the led doesn't work anymore, dead battery
and the chin fastening buckle is also broken
Probably I won't have any more shark helmets.. :/
