Arai Corsair-X Vinales-6 Unisex Street Motorcycle Helmet

The Corsair-X Helmet, true to Arai's tradition, represents a leap forward in helmet technology and rider protection. It not only defends against direct impacts but also addresses the critical issue of mitigating the forces from oblique impacts that often cause helmets to "glance off." Arai achieves this through a redesigned shell that enhances redirection of impact energy rather than mere absorption, thereby reducing the force transferred to the wearer's body.

Key to enhancing the helmet's ability to manage glancing impacts is the VAS (Variable Axis System) side pod and pivot cover. These components are strategically smaller and positioned lower on the shell, optimizing the helmet's ability to glance off impact energy effectively. The shell itself is crafted from Super Fiber and advanced synthetic fibers originally developed for F-1 helmet visor panels. Arai's meticulous assembly and bonding processes ensure exceptional strength while minimizing weight, thanks to specially-developed resins that create robust bonds between shell materials.

The design incorporates a variety of carefully placed materials to maximize tensile strength without compromising weight. The Corsair-X Helmet meets DOT standards and exceeds FMVSS 218 requirements, underscoring its commitment to safety and performance.

Exclusive to the Arai Corsair-X Helmet, the VAS shield system features a Variable Axis design that allows the shield mount position to be lower than conventional helmets. This innovative approach enables a lower shield pivot point, facilitating easier opening and closing of the shield. A dual-function lever simplifies shield removal by simultaneously releasing the side pods and face shield, while a larger latch design ensures intuitive operation.

Standard with the helmet is the VAS MAX Vision shield, offering superior visibility throughout the year and under various riding conditions. It includes a clear anti-fog Pinlock insert to maintain clear vision in challenging environments. Unlike typical helmets where shield mounting is constrained to a higher position, the VAS system's movable pivot point allows for effective shield operation even with the lower shield mounting position.

In conclusion, the Arai Corsair-X Helmet represents a pinnacle in helmet engineering, combining advanced materials, innovative design features, and rigorous safety standards to provide motorcyclists with unparalleled protection and comfort.
