I chose Arai helmets years ago because it fit my head the best. That's a major concern, you need for the helmet to grip your head with equal pressure no pressure points and no slop either. No one manufacturer will work for everyone
@quikboarder93Ай бұрын
Though I agree, it is rare that an Arai won’t work for someone. They offer 3 different shape helmets to fit different head shapes, 6-7 different size cheek pads, and 3 interior crown sizes as well as adjustments on those interiors. Not saying it can’t happen, but it is rare that none of those options work. It’s usually only when someone needs a 3XL or XXS that no Arai will work for them. They need to be professionally fitted though, which is something not everyone has access to unfortunately.

Used Arai helmets for quite a few years and never tested them till recently. Came off at about 80 mph and landed head first then slid . 3 separate impacts on the helmet judging by the damage and walked away without so much as a head ache. Replaced the damaged one with another Tour X4. Good to see those tests and interesting to hear of the manufacturing process that saved my head , cheers JR and Arai

I bought my Arai in the beginning of 2017, a discontinued Chaser V model in Electric Red graphics. The best purchase I’ve ever made. I’ve never crash it although I know if happens I’ll protected, but the comfort and the acoustic refinement is incredible. Worth every penny.

Guy here in N Ireland in the 80’s told me “ $10 dollar brain, buy a $10 dollar helmet” So I bought a Arai Wes Cooley rep, it saved my life in 92, even though I spent 2 months in a coma, so thank you Arai.

Just found your vlogs and been working my way through the older videos, fab and varied content! Important to mention that any helmet (bikes, horses) should be replaced after an impact of any kind, technology has developed meaning that the naked eye can’t always see or appreciate what damage has been caused to the protective layer and the protection may be less with an another impact 🧠

I could also see it causing a force concentration in the round area that impacted. A 5 pound ball peen hammer at say 10mph and a 5 pound plate at 10 mph create the same force. But the hammer will hurt a hell of a lot more if it hits you.

Arai the only way! No BS, just purposefully crafted safety device to protect what matters most. I high sided with my Corsair X and walked away like nothing happened. Thought I did not even touch ground with my helmet, but found some knocked off paint, so must have. That JR highside smashing his head is insane, and definitely reassuring my head is in best possible helmet money can buy!

Best fitting helmet for the shape of my head. I don’t understand, a friend of mine born in Canada, more Italian than his parents owns 21 AGV ROSSI REPLICAS. HIS FOREHEAD IS ALMOST BLEEDING AFTER 1 hr. Horrible fit but it’s Italian and Rossi. I usually buy the 2nd from the most expensive simply because the top one hurts me, the other one is perfect. I guess you guys get custom made ? Also always loved the quick lens swap. ,h

Very informative as the saying go you pay for what you get they are the best hamlets most of the top riders choose Arai. Just as you know Rea I’m disappointed with Kawasaki for not giving you the bike to do the job I was hoping a new motor not more revs I know Kawasaki is being hindered by FIM but it should not be that hard you’re still the Goat of wsbk Kawasaki is satisfied with 6 wsbk championships They should have given you the weapon to win this 2021 ZX10RR is not powerful enough look at the riders in BSB/ AMA / they need more power plain and simple
