Description
The Simpson Carbon Speedway Shark SA2020 Racing Helmet is the elite flagship of the Shark Series, merging high-tech aesthetics with advanced Italian molding technology. This Carbon Fiber, Size 7 5/8 model is engineered specifically for the professional racer who requires a larger fitment without the weight penalty of traditional composite shells. By utilizing a genuine carbon fiber weave, Simpson has created a shell that is exceptionally rigid and impact-resistant while remaining incredibly light to minimize neck fatigue during high-G maneuvers or long-duration events.
The Carbon Speedway Shark is precision-tuned for high-velocity environments. Its signature "Wave Eliminators" are integrated into the shell to provide superior aerodynamics, effectively reducing lift and buffeting in open-cockpit racing. For maximum driver focus, the recessed eye port ensures a 100% shield seal, shielding against wind noise and track debris. Certified to the Snell SA2020 standard, this helmet meets the latest industry safety requirements, ensuring track-legal protection through 2030.

Fitment & Maintenance Information
A secure and precise fit is essential for driver safety. This Size 7 5/8 model is built to remain stable during high-performance driving. Following Snell Foundation guidelines, 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 diminishing the helmet’s protective performance.
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 to ensure it remains in peak racing condition.
