46 ARAI FEATURES

ARAI FEATURES

HandmadeIt can take up to five years for our

experts to earn the right to create an

Arai shell. Each shell can take up to

27 steps and to build one Arai helmet

will take about 18 man-hours.

Washable interiorThe premium quality interior of any

Arai helmet can be easily cleaned, in

place, with mild soap and lukewarm

water

Five times inspectedEach Arai helmet goes through

five separate quality-control depart-

ments: after the shell is made, after

painting and graphic completion,

after assembly and two in-process

inspections.

All-day comfortAll-day comfort with the Arai interior

fit and shape together with the finest

liner materials and the extensive

ventilation system. And thanks to

the perfect balance and weight

distribution of the helmet, you hardly

notice you are wearing an Arai.

Hard outer shell, soft inner shellArai uses a very hard outer shell

to spread impact forces and a soft

inner shell to absorb remaining

energy. The multiple-density EPS

inner shell is made using a unique

technology of combining three to

five densities in various areas as a

single component.

Smooth shape, better protectionThe smooth outer shell of Arai

helmets is designed to glide without

unnecessary resistance. You don’t

want to decelerate your helmet

more than necessary. That’s why all

Arai vents and ducts are designed to

break off during an impact.

Double-D ring deviceThe flat and D-shaped rings fit

smooth against the chin. No moving

parts, no corrosion problems and

just pulling the tab is enough to

loosen the fastener.

Penetration testedAll Arai helmets are penetration

tested, although not required by

European helmet standards. The

Arai penetration test is performed

with a 3kg test cone that strikes

from a height of 3m on the helmet.

Arai In-house testThis Arai helmet is designed to

meet the stringent Arai In-house

standard requirements, in addition

to mandatory standards such as ECE

22-05 and voluntary standards such

as SNELL M2010.

5-year limited warrantyAll Arai helmets are warranted

against defects in materials and

workmanship, and are serviceable

only for the properly fitted first user

for 5 years from date of first use, but

no more than 7 years from date of

manufacture.

Different outer shellsUnlike many other manufacturers

Arai provides one size outer shell

for each two-helmet sizes for most

models. Together with different

shaped outer shells for different

models it is almost impossible to

find the fit you are looking for.

Organic shapeThe organic shape of an Arai

outer shell offers a more natural

appearance, seals better and

conforms more to the head’s natural

shape for improved comfort, fit and

to help minimize wind turbulence.

48 FEATURES

Shell Construction SCLCSuper Complex Laminate

Construction

The latest aerospace fibres, with 30%

more strength in extension & bending

resistance than standard fiberglass

comprises the majority of the SCLC

shell. While considerably more

expensive than most fiberglass (and

in fact more than many Carbon Fibre

materials), this “Super Fibre” provides

incredible flexibility and strength,

which maximizes shell integrity. A

specially designed “mechanically

expanded fibre mat,” sandwiched

between the inner and outer layers

of Arai´s proprietary Super Fibre

Laminates, is used to reinforce and

bond these two Super Fibre layers

without adding significant weight to

the helmet.

Shell Construction PB-SNC2 Peripherally Belted Structural Net

Composite

Arai´s proprietary (super fibre belt)

Peripheral Belt, borrowed from our F-1

technology, maximizes shell strength

and flexibility while maintaining low

weight. Positioned across the top of

the eye port, this band allows the use

of a thinner EPS liner which greatly

enhances the upward field of view –

especially appreciated in a full racing

tuck! The Structural Net Composite

adds a physical bond to the resin

bond of the many layers of fibres and

reinforcing materials within the shell.

Shell Construction CFCCarbon Fibre Composite

Exclusive technology developed

internally by Arai for the GP-6RC F-1

helmet utilizes carbon fibre found in

the latest generation of commercial

airlines, and is bonded with Arai´s

proprietary resins and is reinforced

with a band of incredibly super fibre

belt specifically oriented to disperse

energy loads laterally across the shell

surface. In the forehead area, this

band increases shell strength without

adding thickness or weight, and

allows the use of a thinner EPS liner

which greatly enhances the upward

field of view – especially appreciated

in a full racing tuck!

Shell Construction SFL

Special Fibre Laminate

Strict quality controlled construction

using special fibre layers, crowded

with fibres right to the shell surfaces

and bonded with special resins

formulated by Arai, to disperse impact

energy over the widest possible

area – the shell’s main job – through

strength, structural integrity and

impact flexibility.

Eyeport air channelEnhanced air exhaust from

the eye port area, pulled through

dedicated air channel to side ducts,

improving efficiency and reducing

noise.

Free Flow System (FFS)Creates airflow under the

helmet that reduces wind noise

and turbulence while increasing the

exhaust of hot air.

Variable Axis System (VAS)With VAS, the visor mounting

position is lowered, yielding an

average of an additional 24mm

across both temple areas, in pursuit

of the ideal smoother shape that

increases the ability of glancing off

energy. As a result, this has made it

possible for more of the shell to be

smoother along and above the test

line of the Snell standard.

Center Top VentThe new Top Vent provides 11%

more airflow than the previous Vent.

The new bigger switch makes opening

and closing easier. The new Top Vent

has three positions; closed, half open

and fully open to adjust the airflow

and prevent water intrusion when fully

closed.

Virtual Axis Track

6 Dual intakeDesigned for increased airflow

and lower noise level, guiding fresh,

cool air into the interior.

7 Diffuser systemThe new diffusers are 20mm

longer and straightened for improved ae-

rodynamics, working together with the

Air Wing to improve stability. Compared

to the previous diffusers, the efficiency

of the intake scoops of the new diffusers

has increased by 19%. The new air inta-

ke vents not only have more adjustability

with three positions; closed, half open and

fully open but also help to improve sea-

ling that decreases wind noise and water

intrusion.

1 Ventilation

Front Ventilation

2

Brow ventsFresh air can enter directly to

the forehead area without the need

for holes in this critical area of the

shell and impact absorbing liner. For

specific models the ventilation is

extended to the temple area.

49FEATURES

Neck exhaust vent To enhance hot-air extraction

from the interior. Increases the

ventilation effect at the lower part of

the helmet.

11 One-piece rear exhaustExtracts more hot air from

the helmets interior and improves

aerodynamics.

12

Chin SpoilerHelps minimize wind noise and

also aids with the extraction of hot air

from the face area. Provides additional

deflection of road debris away from

neck. Depending on the model the

Chin Spoiler is retractable.

16

Removable three-piece rear exhaust

Creates a tremendous amount of

venturi vacuum at the rear. Can be

easily removed (for cleaning) or

replacement.

13

Side exhaustsProduce low pressure behind

the rear vent for better hot air

extraction. Integrated in the shell

for better aerodynamics, reduce

wind noise and prevent buffeting at

speed. Inside, a small foam dam helps

to absorb and diminish excessive

noise, without reducing ventilation

performance.

15

Rear exhaustTwin exhaust vents on the

rear, which circulate more cooling air

throughout the helmet’s interior and

extract hot air.

Aerodynamics

Chin Bar SpoilerAs the “naked” bikes offer

a more upright seating position and

hardly any wind protection, the chin

piece of the Rebel and the pull down

chin spoiler are designed to guide the

wind around the neck and to improve

the aerodynamic, enhancing the wind

cheating properties of the helmet.

17

MotoGP tested and designed

to greatly reduce drag, turbulence and

buffeting resulting in more comfort

and additional top-speed. It improves

stability of the helmet at high speeds

or when braking hard and reduces

noise. Depending on the model the

Air Wing is adjustable in five different

angles of attack positions to suit every

riding position.

18

Visor

VAS Max Vision Visor with De-Mist option

VAS MAX Vision shield is standard to

provide better visibility in all seasons

and for all types of riding. Comes

standard with Clear anti-fog Pinlock

insert to be installed as needed.

19

SAI Wider Peripheral Vision Visor

Super AdSis “I” visor offers one of

the widest peripheral vision in the

business for better performance.

Shaping along the upper edge of

the shell offer a smooth transition

between shield and shell.

20

SAI Max Vision VisorThe anti-fog insert lens is

positioned in an original SAI Arai cavity

shield, offering the widest peripheral

vision in the business. The size of the

insert lens can be increased to the

maximum without disturbing edges.

Improves your view on the road.

21

PRO Shade SystemArai answer to the problem

of sun glare and visor fogging. The

PSS offers an efficient combination

of an easy to flip up, lockable sun

peak, the Max Vision visor and the

efficient Pinlock inlay lens. PSS offers

protection against sun glare, without

effecting the integrity and strength

of the helmet shell which could be

caused by build-in sun visors. Available

for both VAS and SAI visor system.

22

Pinlock insert lens included

Antimicrobial LinerNew exclusive liner with

antimicrobial stays fresher between

cleanings.

24

Dry-Cool® LinerArai´s Dry-Cool® material

transfers heat and moisture away

from the rider quickly and efficiently.

25

Replaceable Interior Depending on the model,

cheek pads, ear cups or the complete

interior may be easily removed. All

parts (replaceable or not) can be

cleaned with lukewarm water and

mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning

and never dry in direct sunlight or

near a heat source. Interior parts in

different size thickness are available

for a custom fit for every rider.

26

Interior

Speaker pocketsBuild in communication

systems are popular, but the problem

is often that the room for a speaker

is limited or just not present, causing

unpleasant pressure points. The

speaker pockets, offering room for

mounting speakers without effecting

comfort or fit. (Speaker not included).

27

Facial Contour System (FCS)

To offer an even better snug fit and

enhancing the comfort to the lower

jaw, the Facial Contour System (FCS)

works with a foam spring support in

the cheek pad that compresses and

rebounds, providing the necessary

support without excessive pressure.

28

5mm ’’Peel Away’’ Ear cups/Cheek pads

Giving even more ability to craft the

perfect fit and comfort, the cheek

pads now feature a 5 mm peel away

layer for added room if needed.

29

5mm ’’Peel Away’’ Temple pad

Arai´s peel-away temple crown pads

give the option of 5 mm more interior

width* if needed.

30

Thin centre pad for more room in front area

The result is more room around the

nose and mouth area enhancing the

famous Arai fit and comfort even

more.

31

Comfort

Emergency Release System

Allows easier access to an injured

rider. By pulling the orange tabs

integrated in the pads, the cheek pads

slide out. Making helmet removal

easier for trained medical personnel

and rescuers. Minimising the risk of

additional injury.

32

Breath guardWorks in conjunction with

the dual-pivot® chin vent to better

direct fresh air to the inside surface

of the shield while at the same time

directing hot breath down and away

from the inside surface of the shield.

33

Chin CurtainAttached to the bottom of the

helmet, the new chin curtain helps

to further accentuate the Egg-shape

form. The curtain simultaneously

blocks air intrusion from turbulent

air below and increases negative

pressure to enhance the exhaust

function of FFS by drawing more air

from the mouth area. The improved

airflow reduces noise even further.

34

35 Dirt removalThe elongated and rounded

peak helps protect the rider from mud

or other objects. The flow-through

vent ducts and removable rear vent

cowls also allow you to remove dirt

easily.

Approval

ECE 22-05The most common helmet

certification internationally, required

by over 50 countries worldwide.

36 SNELL M2010/2015The American SNELL Memorial

Foundation is an independent

organisation, SNELL M2010 is their

latest new, more shock-absorbent

standard. For the M2010 standard a

steel ball shaped rather like a tennis

ball anvil is used, they also test with

flat and “kerb” shaped anvils). The

impact test area of SNELL is larger

than that of ECE. Multiple impacts

and a penetration test on random

spots are used.
