Arai continues decades of focused devotion to the evolution of helmet design, advancing the art of the purpose of building a better helmet for riders. Features and Benefits Exclusive, adjustable new AirWing is designed to greatly reduce drag, turbulence and buffeting The vent cowls, which are sculpted into the rear-shell shape, exhausts heat more efficiently, and works with the AirWing to greatly add lateral stability at speed The peripheral Belt extends across the forehead area of the shell above the eye opening. It enhances the structural integrity while still maintaining flexibility, low weight, and shell size The most advanced SNC (Structural Net Composite) shell construction Shell is compact and aerodynamic 10mm wider eyeport opening (5mm each side) further enhancing the rider’s peripheral vision The new Series I faceshield looks like a continuation of the shell and requires two small sliders just in front of the side-pods to keep the shield from contacting the helmet’s upper shell when raised Hyper-Ridge flares out instead of in, making it easier to get on than inward-curving shell bottoms. The Hyper-Ridge reinforcement band circles the bottom of the shell, adding shell strength, contributing to a better overall balance and making the helmet rest easier on the rider’s head The DF-10 diffuser has enhanced air inlets to increase airflow efficiently. It also adds a new second air-intake slot in the middle of the diffuser body to create a higher venture effect and further increase the venting of stale air faster The new brow-vent sends incoming air to the temple instead of to the face. It directs air to the ear area missed by many helmet ventilation systems The Dry-Cool Liner has repositioned the rear mounting-snaps closer to the liner bottom for a more secure fit The neckroll is now removable and replaceable, and adds an additional exhaust vent through its bottom via shallow channels in the EPS liner, adding yet another ventilation outlet for the removal of interior air Arai’s Emergency-Release Cheek Pad System is designed to slide out easily with the use of integrated pull-tabs. This makes removing the helmet much easier for trained medical technicians helping an injured rider
Features and Benefits Unique brow-vent system for upper-face cooling Preformed, optically correct design for outstanding vision and clarity with less distortion Provides UV protection Some shields available with racing-style tearoff posts (tearoffs sold separately) Mirrorized shields have a special hydrophobic coating to prevent debris from sticking Smoked and tinted shields are designed for daytime use only. Not recommended for use at night.

When you realize it’s time to retire a helmet as legendary as the Arai Signet, you’d better make very, very sure you have something extraordinary waiting in the wings. It’s called the Profile. The Arai Profile’s unique look isn’t just cosmetics. It has a distinct purpose rooted in the company philosophy and a 50-year obsession with change for the sake of improvement, not vanity. For example, the Profile’s distinctive Hyper-Ridge reinforcement band along the bottom of the outer shell adds strength, and the overall helmet shape represents Arai’s newest organic shaping concept: narrower, sleeker, more aerodynamic. Arai’s mission is to make riders more comfortable and happy when they’re riding – and make them forget they are even wearing a helmet. Features and Benefits Shape Long-oval fit Ventilation FreeFlow System (FFS) reduces wind turbulence while increasing the exhaust of hot air from the facial area Brow Vent Faceshield Ventilation System provides cooling air to the upper face area without making holes in the shell’s critical forehead area or in the impact-absorbing liner material Dual-Intake/Dual-Exhaust Ventilation with two TDF-2 top intake vents and DDL-3 bridged exhaust vents designed to draw a significant volume of air from helmet interior Rear exhaust channel and vent adds to racing look while removing hot air from inside Shell Constructed of Super Complex Laminate Construction (Super CLC), a material 40 times stronger than standard fiberglass in resistance to extension and bending Faceshield Optically correct, preformed faceshield offers UV protection and less distortion De-Mist Lock faceshield tab pushes forward to open the shield slightly, helping defog visor Interior Fully removable liner and cheekpads Removable breathguard reductes fogging by deflecting exhaled air away from faceshield Multi-foam interior for comfort Enhanced pulldown chin spoiler minimizes wind noise Specifications Certifications: DOT; Snell Interior Shapes guide Unless otherwise noted, helmet comes standard with clear faceshield.
Arai’s newest street helmet, the Vector, is the successor to the Astral-X. Not to worry; it picks up where the Astral left off while adding another dimension to the Arai collection.Not every rider wants – or needs – all the bells and whistles. Still, preferring a minimalistic style shouldn’t mean compromising on quality. The Vector’s less is more design is skillfully paired with advanced engineering based on the demanding, rigorous Arai standards.Functionality plays a huge role in the Vector, as well. Each Arai has to look good, but, more importantly, it has to work. The result of years of talent, passion, and handcrafting is an organic shell shape, wind-slicing aerodynamics, a lower center of gravity, incredible balance, and a lightweight. Top that off with comfort and fit like no other, and you’ve got yourself a Vector.Arai doesn’t just build helmets. They build Arai helmets. Features and Benefits Shape Intermediate-oval fit Shell Hand-formed, organic shell shape conforms closely to the human-head shape, looking better and flowing better in the wind Complex Laminate Construction (CLC) with proprietary aerospace technology Strong, flexible shell is lightweight to reduce rider fatigue Hyper-Ridge reinforcement band at bottom of shell for added strength and lower center of gravity Fiberglass-based design allows for excellent spreading and dissipation of impact energy throughout the structure One-piece EPS liner comprised of several material densities molded into a single unit Direct-fused contact areas between every EPS cell ensures outstanding energy transference and absorption EPS liner molds to your head shape within a few days, minimizing hot spots Liner’s soft, comfortable fit facilitates the use of the smallest, truest helmet size possible Ventilation Flow-through system for exceptional cooling Hot, stale air is pulled, rather than pushed, out of the helmet Oversized ventilation-vent system with 1 intake and 3 exhaust vents Larger, easier-to-operate vent controls accommodate gloved hands Each vent features a three-position setting for excellent airflow control Brow Vent Faceshield Ventilation System provides cooling air to the upper face area without making holes in the shell’s critical forehead area or in the impact-absorbing liner material Interior New cheek pad design allows pads to be removed and cleaned even more easily than before Simpler, more user-friendly styling Fit can be customized with various padding sizes (sold separately) Faceshield Exclusive brow-vent design brings fresh air in through shield, directing it to the forehead area To clear fogging, De-Mist Lock faceshield tab pushes forward to open the shield slightly Tool-free LRS shield-removal system for easy faceshield swapping Side pods elegantly conceal the shell’s integrity-maintaining 3D curvature beneath the shield’s pivot points Specifications Certifications: DOT; Snell Interior Shapes guide Unless othe
The innovative Arai XD3 boasts a twin-cam Shield Pivot System, which allows the faceshield to be fully operable beneath a peak that can be lowered for better aerodynamics. This versatile helmet can be configured to use both the faceshield and peak, just the peak when you use goggles, or simply the shield. Features and Benefits High-flow peak is designed to channel air directly into front vents Twin-cam Shield Pivot System Fully removable, replaceable, and washable liner with optional sizes available to further customize the fit 4 top vents for Dual-Intake/Dual-Exhaust ventilation Double Delta bridged exhaust vents designed to draw significant volumes of air from interior Complex Laminate Construction (CLC) fiberglass-composite shell is strong and lightweight CLC allows use of softer, less-dense liner materials inside for increased rider comfort Efficient chin bar vent with interior and exterior controls to bring fresh air to mouth or across shield to prevent fogging Large side exhaust vents on chin bar for drawing out hot air Specifications Certifications: DOT; Snell Unless otherwise noted, helmet comes standard with clear faceshield. Warning:Peak/visor is not suitable for high-speed use.Air striking a side or main surface of the peak may cause difficulties in returning the head to a forward and/or level position.
