Light up the night – Shark LED helmet

After watching movies like Tron and Iron man, there are the few of us who would love to have LED lights in built into our helmets. Why you ask? Well just for the fun of it and it looks damn cool at night too. Not to mention its great safety value.

Well now motorcycle helmet brand Shark have launched the SKWAL. It is the first helmet to incorporate LED lights into its design. NO third party installation required. The SKWAL has three integrated neon green LED’s which are situated in the front mouth piece, the front air intake and the rear air vents. This lends it an aggressive look and also contributes to the visibility and safety of the rider.

The LED’s operate off a small in-built rechargeable battery, which is fully rechargeable via a micro USB cable. The SKWAL’s battery has up to 5000 recharge cycles and a battery life of five hours on the continuous light mode, or ten hours on the flashing light mode. Even with the incorporated lights and battery pack, the Shark SKWAL weighs in at just 1,470 grams. 

The SKWAL comes standard with a flip-down internal sun visor, micro-lock buckle system and a fully removable and washable lining. The SKWAL comes in black, white, matt and gloss finishes, as well as a bevy of graphic and colour schemes.
