46 ARAI FEATURES Five times inspected Each Arai helmet goes through five separate quality-control departments: after the shell is made, after painting and graphic completion, after assembly and two in-process inspections. ARAI FEATURES Washable interior The premium quality interior of any Arai helmet can be easily cleaned, in place, with mild soap and lukewarm water Handmade It 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. All-day comfort All-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. Penetration tested All 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. Double-D ring device The 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. Smooth shape, better protection The 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. Hard outer shell, soft inner shell Arai 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. Organic shape The 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. 5-year limited warranty All 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 shells Unlike 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. Arai In-house test This 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.

48 FEATURES Shell Construction CFC Carbon 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! 1 Ventilation Shell Construction SCLC Super 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. 3 Free Flow System (FFS) 4 Creates airflow under the helmet that reduces wind noise and turbulence while increasing the exhaust of hot air. 5 Center Top Vent The 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. Front Ventilation Eyeport air channel Enhanced air exhaust from the eye port area, pulled through dedicated air channel to side ducts, improving efficiency and reducing noise. 8 Brow vents Fresh 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. Shell Construction PB-SNC 2 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 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. 6 Dual intake Designed for increased airflow and lower noise level, guiding fresh, cool air into the interior. 9 Three-position chin vent Three-position chin vent helps in demisting the visor and offering fresh, cool air to the rider. 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. 2 Virtual Axis Track 7 Diffuser system The new diffusers are 20mm longer and straightened for improved aerodynamics, 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 intake vents not only have more adjustability with three positions; closed, half open and fully open but also help to improve sealing that decreases wind noise and water intrusion. 10 Inner chin (bar) vent shutter Open and close the chin bar vents from the inside to prevent debris coming into the helmet in dusty riding conditions.

FEATURES 49 11 Neck exhaust vent 12 One-piece rear exhaust To enhance hot-air extraction from the interior. Increases the ventilation effect at the lower part of the helmet. Rear Ventilation Extracts more hot air from the helmets interior and improves aerodynamics. 18 Patented Air Wing adjustable 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. 13 Removable threepiece rear exhaust Creates a tremendous amount of venturi vacuum at the rear. Can be easily removed (for cleaning) or replacement. 14 Rear exhaust Twin exhaust vents on the rear, which circulate more cooling air throughout the helmet s interior and extract hot air. 19 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. Visor MX-V 15 Side exhausts Produce 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. 20 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. 22 PRO Shade System Arai 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. TOUR-X4 16 Chin Spoiler Helps 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. Aerodynamics 17 Chin Bar Spoiler As 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. 23 Pinlock insert lens included Effectively prevents misting and fogging of the visor, even under extreme wet and damp conditions. May be cleaned and changed easily. 21 SAI Max Vision Visor The 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.

50 FEATURES 24 Antimicrobial Liner New exclusive liner with antimicrobial stays fresher between cleanings. Interior 28 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. 32 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. Comfort 34 Chin Curtain Attached 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. 25 Dry-Cool Liner Arai s Dry-Cool material transfers heat and moisture away from the rider quickly and efficiently. 29 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. 33 Breath guard Works 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. 35 Dirt removal The 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. 26 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. 27 Speaker pockets Build 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). 30 5mm Peel Away Temple pad Arai s peel-away temple crown pads give the option of 5 mm more interior width* if needed. 31 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. Approval 36 ECE 22-05 37 SNELL M2010/2015 The most common helmet certification internationally, required by over 50 countries worldwide. The 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.
