The Shark Skwal is a helmet with LEDs

By CARSIFU | 3 April 2015


PETALING JAYA: Modern cars with LED lighting are now commonplace. Even helmet makers are getting into the act - all in the name of safety.

The Shark Skwal is the first full-faced helmet on the market to feature LEDs. Its modern lines are enhanced with four integrated LED lights on the chin and forehead vents, as well as on both sides of the rear spoiler.

Once turned on the LED’s glow a yellow/green colour, which not only stands out but also raises visibility at night. The lights can be on permanently, or set to blink. Battery life on the LEDs is up to five hours if set to be on permanently and up to eight hours if set to blink, the battery is charged by USB.



The French helmet brand is known for its colourful graphics and innovative designs and the SKWAL continues that trend.

The SKWAL has a new shape and its rear spoiler enhances its aerodynamics and solid stability. It also features a new visor system, Autoseal, which uses a sprung visor that keeps it perfectly in place, keeping water out and hugely reducing noise.

Despite the new technology and LED battery, the helmet remains light and weighs around 1470grams. It also features SHARK’s Easyfit system for glasses wearers, has an internal sun visor and can be fitted with SHARK’s Bluetooth unit SHARKTooth – other Bluetooth systems can also be fitted.
