SHARK and MotoGP are joining forces to create an official range of MotoGP licensed helmets for the 2026 season. The exclusive SHARK x MotoGP collection will be officially unveiled in March and the collaboration runs until the end of 2028.
Since its creation in 1989, SHARK has always placed competition at the heart of its strategy. Since Raymond Roche's first victory in WorldSBK in 1990, 79 world champions have worn a SHARK helmet. Today, LCR Honda’s Johann Zarco and Trackhouse MotoGP Team’s Raul Fernandez are the brand's top ambassadors in MotoGP – both race winners in 2025.
MotoGP is the most exciting sport on Earth. Together with feeder classes Moto2™ and Moto3™, every race weekend creates an action-packed fan experience showcasing the best riders in the world. Each season, the sport races at 22 circuits across 5 continents. A true laboratory of innovation, MotoGP pushes the boundaries in terms of aerodynamics, engineering, innovation, materials, and safety.
This collaboration between SHARK and MotoGP creates synergies between two global brands who are leaders in racing. SHARK is strengthening its commitment to racing, opening a new chapter that is 100% racing and increasing its visibility in the most prestigious and widely broadcast motorcycle competition. SHARK also demonstrates its expertise and technical excellence in achieving the highest standards in rider protection and safety.
The range of five exclusive SHARK x MotoGP licensed models are dedicated to fans: two Aeron GP FIM #2 models, approved according to the latest FIM 2026 standard; an Aeron model that offers all the performance of the Aeron GP but without the A2S spoiler; and finally, the two latest additions that have just been unveiled at the 2025 Milan Show – the Skwal Cup and Skwal Jet Cup models.
Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports: "This official MotoGP licensed collection is a powerful symbol of our growth. The MotoGP brand stands for values that resonate around the world – passion, excitement, skill, bravery, defiance – and now fans will be able to show it off on their motorcycles and express their passion on the road. We are proud of this partnership with SHARK. This historic racing brand has always been committed to meeting the highest safety standards, making this adrenaline rush accessible to all motorcyclists."
Christophe Merkel, CEO of 2 Ride: "It is an honor to create this licensed collection that reflects the values of MotoGP and SHARK. This partnership is at the heart of our mission: to design high-end helmets that emphasize innovation and meet the requirements of MotoGP. These helmets will be available to both competitive riders and everyday motorcyclists, allowing everyone to stay focused and perform at their best."
