Shark reaches a new milestone in racing safety Aeron GP Now FIM #2 homologated in all sizes the new MotoGP and racing benchmark, available now
SHARK announces the FIM #2 homologation of its flagship racing helmet, the SHARK AERON GP, the most demanding certification ever defined by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme. Available from the end of January, this new standard will become mandatory in MotoGP starting with the 2026 season, marking a major evolution in the history of racing safety..
FIM #2: RACING SAFETY TAKEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL
A direct evolution of the FIM standard, FIM #2 further raises protection standards with:
• more severe impact tests (a greater number of tested impact points)
• enhanced rotational protection, designed to better preserve the brain from angular accelerations
• increased shell integrity requirements, ensuring consistent performance under extreme racing conditions, along with an optimized visor locking system for reinforced protection.
No compromises have been made on comfort, weight, or aerodynamics: the same iconic design, the same fit, with an even higher level of protection.
AERON GP FIM #2: AT ONE WITH THE AIR
Developed in close collaboration with MotoGP riders, the SHARK AERON GP is the world’s first helmet equipped with an adaptive aerodynamic system. Its patented Adaptive Aero System (A2S) automatically adjusts aerodynamics to the rider’s position, delivering:
