ARAI FEATURES
HandmadeIt can take up to five years for our
experts to earn the right to create an
Arai shell. Each shell can take up to
27 steps and to build one Arai helmet
will take about 18 man-hours.
Washable interiorThe premium quality interior of any
Arai helmet can be easily cleaned, in
place, with mild soap and lukewarm
water
Five times inspectedEach Arai helmet goes through
five separate quality-control depart-
ments: after the shell is made, after
painting and graphic completion,
after assembly and two in-process
inspections.
All-day comfortAll-day comfort with the Arai interior
fit and shape together with the finest
liner materials and the extensive
ventilation system. And thanks to
the perfect balance and weight
distribution of the helmet, you hardly
notice you are wearing an Arai.
Hard outer shell, soft inner shellArai uses a very hard outer shell
to spread impact forces and a soft
inner shell to absorb remaining
energy. The multiple-density EPS
inner shell is made using a unique
technology of combining three to
five densities in various areas as a
single component.
Smooth shape, better protectionThe smooth outer shell of Arai
helmets is designed to glide without
unnecessary resistance. You don’t
want to decelerate your helmet
more than necessary. That’s why all
Arai vents and ducts are designed to
break off during an impact.
Double-D ring deviceThe flat and D-shaped rings fit
smooth against the chin. No moving
parts, no corrosion problems and
just pulling the tab is enough to
loosen the fastener.
Penetration testedAll Arai helmets are penetration
tested, although not required by
European helmet standards. The
Arai penetration test is performed
with a 3kg test cone that strikes
from a height of 3m on the helmet.
Arai In-house testThis Arai helmet is designed to
meet the stringent Arai In-house
standard requirements, in addition
to mandatory standards such as ECE
22-05 and voluntary standards such
as SNELL M2010.
5-year limited warrantyAll Arai helmets are warranted
against defects in materials and
workmanship, and are serviceable
only for the properly fitted first user
for 5 years from date of first use, but
no more than 7 years from date of
manufacture.
Different outer shellsUnlike many other manufacturers
Arai provides one size outer shell
for each two-helmet sizes for most
models. Together with different
shaped outer shells for different
models it is almost impossible to
find the fit you are looking for.

Organic shapeThe organic shape of an Arai
outer shell offers a more natural
appearance, seals better and
conforms more to the head’s natural
shape for improved comfort, fit and
to help minimize wind turbulence.
48 FEATURES
Shell Construction SCLCSuper Complex Laminate
Construction
The latest aerospace fibres, with 30%
more strength in extension & bending
resistance than standard fiberglass
comprises the majority of the SCLC
shell. While considerably more
expensive than most fiberglass (and
in fact more than many Carbon Fibre
materials), this “Super Fibre” provides
incredible flexibility and strength,
which maximizes shell integrity. A
specially designed “mechanically
expanded fibre mat,” sandwiched
between the inner and outer layers
of Arai´s proprietary Super Fibre
Laminates, is used to reinforce and
bond these two Super Fibre layers
without adding significant weight to
the helmet.
Shell Construction PB-SNC2 Peripherally Belted Structural Net
Composite
Arai´s proprietary (super fibre belt)
Peripheral Belt, borrowed from our F-1
technology, maximizes shell strength
and flexibility while maintaining low
weight. Positioned across the top of
the eye port, this band allows the use
of a thinner EPS liner which greatly
enhances the upward field of view –
especially appreciated in a full racing
tuck! The Structural Net Composite
adds a physical bond to the resin
bond of the many layers of fibres and
reinforcing materials within the shell.
Shell Construction CFCCarbon Fibre Composite
Exclusive technology developed
internally by Arai for the GP-6RC F-1
helmet utilizes carbon fibre found in
the latest generation of commercial
airlines, and is bonded with Arai´s
proprietary resins and is reinforced
with a band of incredibly super fibre
belt specifically oriented to disperse
energy loads laterally across the shell
surface. In the forehead area, this
band increases shell strength without
adding thickness or weight, and
allows the use of a thinner EPS liner
which greatly enhances the upward
field of view – especially appreciated
in a full racing tuck!
Shell Construction SFL
Special Fibre Laminate
Strict quality controlled construction
using special fibre layers, crowded
with fibres right to the shell surfaces
and bonded with special resins
formulated by Arai, to disperse impact
energy over the widest possible
area – the shell’s main job – through
strength, structural integrity and
impact flexibility.
Eyeport air channelEnhanced air exhaust from
the eye port area, pulled through
dedicated air channel to side ducts,
improving efficiency and reducing
noise.
Free Flow System (FFS)Creates airflow under the
helmet that reduces wind noise
and turbulence while increasing the
exhaust of hot air.
Variable Axis System (VAS)With VAS, the visor mounting
position is lowered, yielding an
average of an additional 24mm
across both temple areas, in pursuit
of the ideal smoother shape that
increases the ability of glancing off
energy. As a result, this has made it
possible for more of the shell to be
smoother along and above the test
line of the Snell standard.
Center Top VentThe new Top Vent provides 11%
more airflow than the previous Vent.
The new bigger switch makes opening
and closing easier. The new Top Vent
has three positions; closed, half open
and fully open to adjust the airflow
and prevent water intrusion when fully
closed.

6 Dual intakeDesigned for increased airflow
and lower noise level, guiding fresh,
cool air into the interior.
7 Diffuser systemThe new diffusers are 20mm
longer and straightened for improved ae-
rodynamics, working together with the
Air Wing to improve stability. Compared
to the previous diffusers, the efficiency
of the intake scoops of the new diffusers
has increased by 19%. The new air inta-
ke vents not only have more adjustability
with three positions; closed, half open and
fully open but also help to improve sea-
ling that decreases wind noise and water
intrusion.

Chin Spoiler is retractable.
16
Removable three-piece rear exhaust
Creates a tremendous amount of
venturi vacuum at the rear. Can be
easily removed (for cleaning) or
replacement.
13
Side exhaustsProduce low pressure behind
the rear vent for better hot air
extraction. Integrated in the shell
for better aerodynamics, reduce
wind noise and prevent buffeting at
speed. Inside, a small foam dam helps
to absorb and diminish excessive
noise, without reducing ventilation
performance.
15
Rear exhaustTwin exhaust vents on the
rear, which circulate more cooling air
throughout the helmet’s interior and
extract hot air.

Aerodynamics
Chin Bar SpoilerAs the “naked” bikes offer
a more upright seating position and
hardly any wind protection, the chin
piece of the Rebel and the pull down
chin spoiler are designed to guide the
wind around the neck and to improve
the aerodynamic, enhancing the wind
cheating properties of the helmet.
17
MotoGP tested and designed
to greatly reduce drag, turbulence and
buffeting resulting in more comfort
and additional top-speed. It improves
stability of the helmet at high speeds
or when braking hard and reduces
noise. Depending on the model the
Air Wing is adjustable in five different
angles of attack positions to suit every
riding position.
18

parts (replaceable or not) can be
cleaned with lukewarm water and
mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning
and never dry in direct sunlight or
near a heat source. Interior parts in
different size thickness are available
for a custom fit for every rider.
26
Interior
Speaker pocketsBuild in communication
systems are popular, but the problem
is often that the room for a speaker
is limited or just not present, causing
unpleasant pressure points. The
speaker pockets, offering room for
mounting speakers without effecting
comfort or fit. (Speaker not included).
27
Facial Contour System (FCS)
To offer an even better snug fit and
enhancing the comfort to the lower
jaw, the Facial Contour System (FCS)
works with a foam spring support in
the cheek pad that compresses and
rebounds, providing the necessary
support without excessive pressure.
28

Giving even more ability to craft the
perfect fit and comfort, the cheek
pads now feature a 5 mm peel away
layer for added room if needed.
29
5mm ’’Peel Away’’ Temple pad
Arai´s peel-away temple crown pads
give the option of 5 mm more interior
width* if needed.
30
Thin centre pad for more room in front area
The result is more room around the
nose and mouth area enhancing the
famous Arai fit and comfort even
more.
31
Comfort
Emergency Release System
Allows easier access to an injured
rider. By pulling the orange tabs
integrated in the pads, the cheek pads
slide out. Making helmet removal
easier for trained medical personnel
and rescuers. Minimising the risk of
additional injury.
32
Breath guardWorks in conjunction with
the dual-pivot® chin vent to better
direct fresh air to the inside surface
of the shield while at the same time
directing hot breath down and away
from the inside surface of the shield.
33
Chin CurtainAttached to the bottom of the
helmet, the new chin curtain helps
to further accentuate the Egg-shape
form. The curtain simultaneously
blocks air intrusion from turbulent
air below and increases negative
pressure to enhance the exhaust
function of FFS by drawing more air
from the mouth area. The improved
airflow reduces noise even further.
34
35 Dirt removalThe elongated and rounded
peak helps protect the rider from mud
or other objects. The flow-through
vent ducts and removable rear vent
cowls also allow you to remove dirt
easily.
Approval
ECE 22-05The most common helmet
certification internationally, required
by over 50 countries worldwide.
36 SNELL M2010/2015The American SNELL Memorial
Foundation is an independent
organisation, SNELL M2010 is their
latest new, more shock-absorbent
standard. For the M2010 standard a
steel ball shaped rather like a tennis
ball anvil is used, they also test with
flat and “kerb” shaped anvils). The
impact test area of SNELL is larger
than that of ECE. Multiple impacts
and a penetration test on random
spots are used.
