Shark Helmets has teamed up with the renowned custom bike builder and designer, Troy Lee Designs for a new range of stealthy-looking lids.

The newly designed range of lids has come about thanks to Shark and Troy Lee Designs both residing with the 2Ride group, which also incorporates Nolan, Segura, and Bering, among others. The collection is said to blend Shark’s ‘aero-focused protective technologies … with Troy Lee Designs’ avant-garde, innovative and disruptive style’, according to the press release.

The founder of Troy Lee Designs, obviously called Troy Lee, said: 

“My design philosophy is to try to make things look fast. If we can make it look fast sitting still, then it looks really cool on the track. Everything I do, I try to tell a story of where it came from and why we’re doing it. It’s been about a year now since we partnered with SHARK and it has been a dream of mine to get in the street market. I’ve been painting street helmets for a long time and I think we’re just getting the wheels started here. We’re going to do some really cool stuff including this new collection that we’ve been working on for the last year.”
