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 light weight. 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 Laminiate 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 tranference 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 cheekpad 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 other
The Arai VX-Pro 3 is the successor to one of the most highly rated off-road helmets. With innovative safety features – and a ventilation system that rivals air conditioning – the VX-Pro 3 thoroughly demonstrates the Arai standard. Features and Benefits Subtle shell recesses allow goggles to have a better fit and seal on rider’s face Fully removable, washable, and replaceable Dry-Cool liner and cheek pads Emergency-release cheek pads designed to allow medical technicians access to an unconscious or injured rider 5 upper vents in crown with 2 visor-pressurized front intake vents 2 side exhaust vents with neck roll exhaust port Closeable chin bar vent for dusty or cold conditions Removable flexible-rubber roost guard Specifications Certifications: Meets or exceeds DOT, Snell
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.
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 XD-3 Luster Helmet XD means Crossover Design because it crosses over into so many riding styles. You can quickly and easily change it for adventure touring dual-sport Supermoto or evenfor commuting to and from work every day. Visually the new XD-3 looks like a dirt helmet with its peak but the XD Series also has a full faceshield like a street helmet. The faceshield easily slides up under the peak. And you can remove the shield and or the peak in no time and then easily re-install either or both whenever you like. The XD-3 is the ultimate all in one riding helmet Features: Improved Ventilation New Emergency Cheek-Pad Release One-Piece Liner Improved face shield system
