Arai Corsair X RC Helmet Details
The Arai Corsair-X Helmet is a full-face track-focused helmet that is already made to excel when speeding out of corners and launching towards the back straight. The Arai Corsair-X RC is their top-of-the-line motorcycle helmet and uses the same carbon fiber composite they use in their Formula 1 helmets. The end product is a lightweight shell that perfectly balances rigidity and flexibility.
By developing a helmet that not only protects against direct hits but is also specially made to lessen the impact of “glancing off” impacts, Arai has, in typical Arai form, advanced helmet technology, and rider protection. Arai has developed a more robust shell with a smoother shape that will likely deflect impact energy rather than absorb it (therefore decreasing the amount of force transferred to the body). The VAS (Variable Axis System) side pod pivot cover is smaller and lower on the shell to maximize the possibility of deflecting impact energy.
The Arai Corsair X motorcycle helmet has a chin curtain that provides negative pressure to improve exhaust ventilation effectiveness while also helping to stop air incursion from the turbulent air underneath the helmet. Arai’s iconic 5mm peel-away ear pocket padding and an ear pocket recess with space for communicator speakers are included in the internal lining.
VAS Shield System: The Arai Corsair X motorcycle helmet has a chin curtain that provides negative pressure to improve exhaust ventilation effectiveness while also helping to stop air invasion from the turbulent air underneath the helmet. Arai’s iconic 5mm peel-away ear pocket padding and an ear pocket recess with space for communicator speakers are included in the internal lining.
VAS Shield Latch System: To help avoid accidental opening, the VAS shield latch system more securely grabs and holds the shield closed. The wider latch design enables an intuitive and seamless operation of the shield in addition to a de-mist position.
PB SNC2 Shell: Super Fiber and other unique synthetic fibers used for F-1 helmet visor panels are used to build the Corsair X helmet shell, which Arai professionals assemble and bond. Stronger connections are formed between less-weight shell materials thanks to a specifically formulated resin.
Diffuser Type 12: When used with the AirWing to increase stability and create a 19% efficiency gain, the Corsair X Type 12 air diffusers are longer than the Corsair V and have been straightened for better aerodynamics. To reduce wind noise and water infiltration, the air intake vents are highly flexible and have three modes (closed, half open, and fully open). They also produce a tight seal.
Arai’s Proprietary Liner: A softer liner material and adjustable temple padding for a tailored fit is also included in the detachable inside liner system, which is composed of odor-resistant material and helps maintain neutral pH levels close to human skin.
VAS V MV Shield: The VAS MAX Vision shield is pre-installed with a clear anti-fog Pinlock insert to improve vision in all riding conditions and seasons.
