Shark Skwal i3 Ready Mat KUA

SHARK SKWAL i3 READY - Full-face helmet with smart LED brake lights and a built-in accelerometer

The SHARK SKWAL i3 READY is an innovative full-face helmet, available in a glossy finish (Black Chrom Blue or Black Chrom Red) or a matte finish (Black Chrom Anthracite). The world's first helmet to feature active LED brake lights controlled by an accelerometer, it combines enhanced visibility with everyday comfort.

SKWAL i3 READY: the full-face helmet that makes riders more visible

The SKWAL i3 is the world's first full-face helmet equipped with smart LED brake lights at the rear. A built-in triaxial accelerometer detects deceleration and automatically activates the brake light, without any wired connections or Bluetooth pairing to the motorcycle: the system operates completely independently, regardless of the motorcycle being ridden.

The helmet offers three lighting modes selectable via a switch on the left side: continuously lit position lights, brake lights only, or a combination of front LEDs and brake lights that flash when slowing down. The brightness of the brake light increases during harder braking, and the accelerometer puts the LEDs into standby mode after a prolonged period of inactivity to conserve battery life.

The High-Impact Lexan(TM) injection-molded polycarbonate shell weighs approximately 1,570 to 1,585 g, depending on size and lighting mode. The READY design is available in three color options: Black Chrom Blue and Black Chrom Red in a glossy finish, and Black Chrom Anthracite in a matte finish.

Why choose the SHARK SKWAL i3 READY?

This helmet is designed for riders who want to increase their visibility, especially at night and when slowing down. The smart LED brake light automatically signals braking to riders behind you--even during engine braking--without requiring a connection to the motorcycle.

Beyond this innovation, the SKWAL i3 retains all of SHARK's standard comfort features: "Best Fit" interior, integrated sun visor, and included Pinlock visor, for uncompromising everyday use.

Finally, its compatibility with the SENA for SHARK intercom system makes it easy to equip the helmet for navigation, music, or communication.

LED Lighting System and Smart Brake Light

The SKWAL i3 features LEDs at the front, on the forehead, and on the chin guard, as well as a rear brake light paired with an accelerometer. The brake light detects deceleration and flashes, with a faster flash rate during heavy braking. The system is activated by a long press on the switch located at the base of the helmet on the left side, and can be switched between the three available modes with short presses. The internal battery recharges via a discreet USB-C port located at the nape of the neck, and battery life ranges from 6 to 20 hours depending on the selected mode.

Comfort and Ventilation

The "Best Fit" interior combines five technical fabrics for a long-lasting, second-skin feel; it is fully removable and washable. The internal sun visor, treated to be scratch-resistant and anti-fog, is easy to use, while locking the visor in the "airflow" position allows for a slight opening for ventilation.

Care Instructions

Clean the shell with a slightly damp microfiber cloth, avoiding any solvents or abrasive products that could damage the READY graphics, whether glossy or matte.

The screen and sun visor should be cleaned with lukewarm water and a soft cloth; never use alcohol-based products on the coatings that resist scratches and prevent fogging.

Never get the USB-C connector or the battery area wet; wipe this area with a dry cloth only.
