Description
The Simpson Carbon Speedway Shark SA2020 Racing Helmet is the premium flagship of the Shark Series, combining elite-level Italian molding technology with an ultra-rigid carbon weave. This Carbon Fiber, Size 7 3/8 model is engineered for professional racers who require the absolute minimum weight to combat neck fatigue during long-duration events. By utilizing genuine carbon fiber, Simpson delivers a shell that provides superior impact resistance and energy displacement while remaining significantly lighter than traditional composite materials.
Aerodynamics are at the forefront of the Carbon Speedway Shark’s design. The integrated "Wave Eliminators" effectively stabilize the helmet at high speeds, reducing lift and buffeting—a critical advantage in open-cockpit racing. For maximum driver focus, the recessed eye port creates a 100% shield seal, shielding against wind noise and track debris. Certified to the Snell SA2020 standard, this helmet is track-legal through 2030 and meets the most current safety protocols in the industry.

Fitment & Maintenance Information
A precise, secure fit is vital for safety. This Size 7 3/8 model is built to remain stable during high-G maneuvers. According to the Snell Foundation, it is recommended to replace your racing helmet every five (5) years from the date of manufacture. Over time, internal protective liners and the structural resin of the carbon shell can degrade, potentially reducing the helmet’s effectiveness in an accident.
To maintain the shell’s integrity and the high-gloss carbon finish, clean the helmet using only a soft microfiber cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, waxes, or solvents, as these can damage the impact-absorbing EPS liner or the clear coat. Always store your helmet in the included bag in a cool, dry place between events.
