Shell:
- A smooth instead of ridged shell: The shell itself is consistently round and smooth, maintaining the Glancing Off shape concept in areas above the acknowledged test line and influencing those below the test line. Here, the rounded chin bar maintains the same compact shell length as the previous model, the VXPro3. The result is less protrusion, which may be less likely to catch and dig in during a spill.
- Shell material: In order to maximize performance, we precisely assemble the shell from multiple proprietary components. Super Fiber, one of the primary materials, costs up to six times more than standard fiberglass but provides 30% higher tensile strength and increased penetration resistance. The PBcLc (Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction) method demands precise and timeconsuming assembly by master craftsmen from many individual pieces.
- Improved peak: The peak is 14mm longer and 5mm wider than the previous model for improved ability to deflect roost and flying debris. To compensate for increased lift, the air outlets on the improved peak have been made larger as well. Made with durable, yet extremely flexible material, mounted with plastic screws designed to break on impact, so as not to snag on impact which could send energy into the helmet or cause excess rotational force.
- PBcLc Shell: The Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction reinforces Arai’s cLc shell for more strength and weight reduction adding more to Arai’s accumulation of incremental improvements over decades of experience to pursue gains in protection.
- HyperRidge: The reinforcement band circles the bottom of the shell adding strength and lowering the helmet’s center of gravity.
- Removable Peak: This adjustable sunblocking piece shields your eyes from glare.
- IntermediateOval Fit
Ventilation:
- Cowl Exhaust Vent: Exhausts heat more efficiently; these vents are sculpted into the rear shell shape for optimal aerodynamic characteristics.
- Chin bar vent grill: Installed on the uniquely rounded chin bar, the stainless mesh grill is now mounted from the outside on the exterior vent cap and can be easily removed for cleaning or damage replacement. The vent cap is also designed to break away from the chin bar in the event of impact.
- Rear duct: The AirThrough toprearduct center brace also functions as a gogglestrap locator. The diffusers can be removed or replaced quickly and easily by removing a single screw on the rearduct center brace.
- Chin Vent Shutter: This closable gate in front of the center vent allows the rider to block out extreme weather conditions. Can be opened in warmer weather.
Interior:
- Emergency release system: The revised Emergency Release Cheek Pad system has the release tab repositioned and is easier to access by rescue staff. Pioneered by Arai, the concept behind the emergency release cheek pad design was to allow trained medical personnel easier access to an injured rider, reducing the chance of unintentional injury.
- FCS® Cheek Pad Design: Arai’s patented Facial Contour System adds just the right amount of support by moving out of the way when putting the helmet on, but once the helmet is on, cradling the rider’s face and jaw area.
- 5mm PeelOff Layer: This removable layer gives the rider a microfitting option to easily adjust the cheek pads to one size thinner cheek pad.
- Emergency Release Cheek Pads: These allow for easier access to an injured rider by sliding out via integrated pull tabs built into the cheek pad underside.
- Removable Neck Roll Pad: This removable pad allows easier cleaning and replaceability along the rider’s neck for sound insulation and comfort.
- Dry Cool Interior Lining: For all day comfort this moisture wicking material keeps you cool and minimizes the buildup of sweat.
Certifications/Warranty:
- Meets or exceeds D.O.T. and Snell standards
- Arai Year Warranty: All Arai helmets are warranted against defects in materials and workman ship and are serviceable only for the properly fitted first user for five years from date of first use, but no more than seven years from date of manufacture. It should be replaced within five years of first use.
