VALUE OF ARAI When you think about how a helmet works to protect the head inside. If you think of absorption of the impact, you are partly correct.

That is, there is a limit to the amount of energy any helmet can manage to absorb. In this regard, it may be worth noting that the impact test speed for “Absorption” by most standards is less than 28 km/h.

As the kinetic energy goes up in proportion to the square of speed, the amount of energy involved in a real crash can be far bigger than the level any make of helmet can manage to absorb.

However, The basic function of a helmet protecting the head from a severe blow of an impact is not only “Absorption”.

As many riding impacts are off center, or come at an angle, the intrusion of energy might be diminished as the helmet may skip or slide over obstacles avoiding some of the energy.

This enhances the chance arises that the energy getting into the helmet stays within the level “Absorption” could handle. We refer to this as “Glancing off”.

Did you know Arai is one of very few in the world aware of the importance of “Glancing off”?

Witnessing such scenes repeatedly, Arai has come to believe that “Glancing off” of the impact energy is a key to the enhanced head protection by helmets and Arai has been working to elevate its level ever since.

Although there has been no literature or article referring to “Glancing off”, we have studied the principles and functions of it through our own experiences and have been working to enhance its effectiveness independently.

The basis of “Glancing off” is undoubtedly a “Rounder, Smoother and Stronger Shell”, but when it comes to designing the structure of it on that basis, there has been no simple solution or magic wand. The real crashes are too unpredictable.

Did you know what Arai has actually done to raise the performance level of “Glancing off”?

We at Arai are proud to work for the protection of fellow riders, and feel it has become an important part in the meaning of our

Hirotake Arai

Founder, Arai Helmet, LTD

existence, but the unpredictable nature of some crash impacts can overwhelm even our helmets.

To live with such a fact, we have been struggling to enhance every aspect of a helmet’s ability to protect, no matter how small, and believe there is always some room left for improvement hidden within the many details of Glancing off, even though we did not know how much each improvement would add.

This accumulating, building and evolving numerous improvements, for the enhancement of Glancing off, has been the foundation of the difference of Arai through our long history.

Today, many in the world say that the protection performances shown by Arai are different from others.

There is an old saying; “The whole can be far greater than the sum of its parts”. If you consider some extreme performances shown

by Arai, you might find some truth in that old saying.

Even though most of those parts may not be readily visible or likely to serve as a sales feature, they contribute to the cost of seeking to improve performance. But we have come to be convinced that this is the way to the enhancement of head protection against severe and unpredictable crash impacts.

Knowing that no one and nothing is perfect, we believe these extra efforts are worth the additional costs, especially considering that what we are seeking to protect is priceless.

RX-7V RACE FIM Ventilation Racers love the RX-7V’s ability to keep them cool, no matter how hot the laps get.

So we had to make sure that the Race FIM aero-kit had zero impact on the twin diffusers’ induction efficiency. So it hasn’t. Like the RX-7V the Air Channel System flows air from the eye ports to the side ducts, while the chin cover blocks air intrusion and draws from the mouth area.

An RX-7V is everything Arai knows about producing the ultimate competition-ready motorcycle helmet. The strong, smooth and rounded R75 shape shell; to increase the important glancing-off performance. VAS system. Peerless fit. Ventilation that maintains a rider’s cool. And the RX-7V Race FIM goes one step further with an extra layer of technology. Aerodynamic assist. The RX-7V Race FIM employs an FIM-approved aero-kit to smooth the passage of air between the rear of the helmet and the aero hump on a rider’s leathers, in a tucked-in racing crouch.

It’s a new design, with fixed airwing and more aerodynamically efficient than the prototypes developed over previous seasons by top-flight Arai’s racers. The higher the speed, the more noticeable its effect. Other RX-7V Race FIM details are less obvious but aimed squarely at the extremes of racing; for those that measure performance at the very edge and lap times in fractions. Take the advantage.

The RX-7V represents the summit of Arai’s knowledge, experience and know-how in helmet technology. With a completely new PB-SNC² outer shell, the revolutionary VAS (“Variable Axis System”) visor system and a significant increased smoother area around the temples, the RX-7V offers the new benchmark in the premium helmet segment. From the also new anti-microbial material liner with an even slimmer frame, to the new ducts, improved diffuser and the integrated Air Channels, every part shows the attention to detail that is so typical for Arai.

Arai has continually improved the “glancing off” performance by learning from real scenarios. Thanks to the new stronger and smoother shell and VAS, the RX-7V is closer to the ideal helmet shape than ever. With VAS, the visor mounting position is lowered 24mm in pursuit of the ideal smoother shape that increases the ability of glancing off energy. As a result, this has made it possible for the shell to be completely smooth above the test line of the Snell standard.

NEW 2021

Ventilation: Comprehensive and controllable ventilation is based around 12 ventilation ports: 6 intake, 6 exhaust. The 3D Arai logo feeds cooling air into two central intake points and works well at low speed, alongside dual F1-derived tear duct top intakes, twin brow vents and 2-position sliding air-scoop, filtered chin vent. Hot air is efficiently extracted via the 3-way one-piece rear exhaust/spoiler, twin flush-fit side exhausts (with foam dams to reduce noise) and neck exhaust.

As with every Arai, the Quantic is formed around protection, first and foremost. Manufactured by hand, the outer shell maintains core strength but with a substantial weight reduction. The smooth, round shape is a key Arai signature and primarily designed to ‘glance-off’ and spread impact forces.Using the aerodynamic and protective abilities of Arai’s full-race helmets and all the experience and know-how earned over millions of road kilometres, the new Quantic slips through the air neatly and efficiently, wrapping its wearer in a cocoon of luxury. It offers a fresh choice for riders that want the very best performance from a helmet – in terms of protection, comfort and ease of wear, day-in-day out – with zero compromise. For easy access on and off the Quantic features a 5mm flare around the base, while the VAS MAX vision visor comes with a Pinlock insert ready to use. The premium brushed nylon interior is removable and features Facial Contour System (FCS) and neck roll wire pocket.

It also features Emergency Release System (ERS). The Quantic will be on the market with the official ECE R22-06 homologation.

RAPIDE Ventilation The Rapide’s sleek outer shell hides a secret; Arai’s internal ventilation system. Cooling air feeds into the visor brow vents and is drawn through the comfort liner and out three upper crown exhaust holes, via a hidden multi-stage air channel within the EPS liner, by the negative pressure created by the combined Venturi effect of the side exhaust ports and neckroll vent.

Up front the six meshed slots close to demist and open for airflow.

The Rapide model will be available with VAS V MV visor and Pinlock insert.

RAPIDE

Facial Contour System

Facial Contour System

Available sizes:

XS-XL

The 1980s. Naked motorcycles. An attitude that made you feel different from everybody else. Introducing the Rapide. Recalling the simple yet aggressive style of that era, this helmet came from the heart of Arai R&D. They loved the looks, but that was about it. Now, the Arai techs want old-school cool, to fit their style and motorcycle, but they want cool with modern Arai performance. Rapide’s brute simplicity is the product of imagination, but make no mistake, while the retro style may grab attention it had to pass Arai’s stringent in-house testing.

So underneath the aggressive look you’ll find a strong, lightweight PB e-cLc shell, with a smooth and round shape, reinforced with Arai’s proprietary peripheral belt, to slide across surfaces and glance-off obstacles. The VAS-VC shield system, with its retro mechanical look, further enhances glancing off performance by lowering the visor pivot point to maximize a smooth upper shell. Although a nod to the past, the Rapide is very much a helmet of the present. Ready for a generation of modern riders that demand a new, old style - but with the performance and comfort only an Arai can provide.

CHASER-X Photo: Wunderlich

Ventilation The Chaser-X features an exclusive ventilation system that is unique to this model.

It is instantly recognizable by the large intake and exhaust duct on the front part of the helmet. The large inlet allows generous amounts of cool, fresh air to enter the helmet, assisted by the two inlets in the large single frame rear duct. The exhaust function of the large front duct keeps working when the intake is closed. The two small exhaust vents on the back of the helmet help to quickly dispose hot, warm air from the helmets interior.

CHASER-X

Facial Contour System

Available sizes:

XS-XL

Chaser-X is the third Arai helmet that makes use of the new VAS (Variable Axis System) technology that offers a significant larger and smoother shell area above the SNELL test line greatly improving the important helmet glancing off performance. The Chaser-X makes use of an also completely new ventilation system derived from the RX-7V, instantly recognizable by the large, single intake duct on top of the helmet. This Top Ventilation System is derived from the RX-7V diffuser system. The replaceable interior is lined with an anti-microbial fabric. The Chaser-X features FCS (Facial Contour System) and a fixed, non-retractable mini chin cover. The chin vent is also new, while the Formula One developed visor lock system is the same as used on the RX-7V. All Chaser-X helmets come with a standard Max Vision visor with a Pinlock inlay lens separately packed in the box.

Ventilation Full ventilation is based around 11 ventilation points: 5-intake and 6-exhaust. Dual intake vents, dual brow vents and a 3-way chin vent flowing cool air into the Profile-V’s interior.

A total of 5 holes in the shell feed hot air out – twin side exhausts create low pressure that ‘sucks’ air through; foam dams minimise noise without affecting performance. The neck exhaust and one-piece rear exhaust increase ventilation and enhances extraction of hot air for improved rider comfort.

Facial Contour System

Available sizes:

XS-XL

The Profile-V is a brand-new helmet from Arai. It has a fresh, aggressive style unique in the range and is designed to welcome riders to the Arai family with the plush comfort, protection and features expected of the brand but also something else – easy access on and off.

Like every Arai the Profile-V uses a strong outer shell designed to glance off impact forces, while maintaining integrity, working with a softer one-piece multi-density EPS inner liner to absorb and spread impact energy. It’s designed around the Variable Axis System (VAS) for a smoother shape plus reinforcing Hyper Ridge that lowers the centre of gravity and flares out 5mm to make putting it on or off easier. It’s equipped with dual intake vents, brow vents and a 3-way chin vent plus five exhausts. The VAS-V MAX vision visor is Pinlock ready and uses our F1-derived latch mechanism; the semi-removable interior features Facial Contour System (FCS) and speaker pockets. The optional Pro Shade System (PSS) can be equipped. The Arai experience starts here.

For some riders the cityscape is home. They glide through it effortlessly, whether for work or pleasure. They choose the very best machine for the job – motorcycle or scooter – and are equally choosey with their equipment. Functionality, flexibility and day-in, day-out usability are key attributes and our new SZ-V is built with the urban professional’s high expectations in mind. While the SZ-V’s subtle looks exude premium appeal (of course) it’s tough, lightweight outer shell – designed around VAS, which lowers the visor mounting points – is built primarily to provide maximum protection in terms of impact energy absorption and glancing-off performance from the smooth, rounded R75 shape. The softer, one-piece Multi-Density EPS inner liner works in support of the shell to dissipate energy without excess bulk. The SZ-V is designed to fit a communication system easily on the shell exterior and without any compromise to the EPS liner.

ADDITIONAL SIZES Arai provides one size outer shell for each two helmet sizes for most models, adding up to five outer shell sizes within limited models, as compared to others who may struggle to reach only three shell sizes. The advantage of using many outer shell sizes is that the inner liner and exterior shell can maintain a closer proportion to the head size inside, rather than padding out an outer shell that is too large for its actual size, avoiding the need to “over-pad” a large shell for a small head or “thin-out” the inner liner of a smaller shell for a large head. In both cases the result is a helmet that is not in proportion with the rider, offering a curious sight. Arai also offers extreme sizes as small as XXXS (Astro-Light) to as large as XXXL (RX-7V) offering a perfect fitting helmet for almost any head size, in addition to the many adjustable interior parts. And when even these different sizes are not sufficient, Arai is able to have the helmet individually modified to special requests by our craftsmen for a complete custom fit. The models in our additional size range are available in plain colours.

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.

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.

Strong outer shell, soft inner shell Arai uses a very strong outer shell to spread impact forces and a soft inner shell to absorb remaining energy. The multipledensity 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 not to find the fit you are looking for.

Arai In-house test This Arai helmet is designed to meet the stringent Arai Inhouse criteria, in addition to the mandatory ECE 22-05 standard.
