Arai Corsair-X Solid Motorcycle Helmet - Black/X-Large

In typical Arai fashion, the Corsair-X Helmet has elevated helmet technology and rider protection by creating a helmet that not only protects against direct impacts, but is also specifically designed to minimize the forces of "glancing off" impacts. Arai has developed a stronger shell and smoother shape that is more likely to redirect impact energy rather than absorb it, reducing the amount of force transferred to the body. The VAS (Variable Axis System) side pod, pivot cover is smaller in size and positioned lower on the shell to enhance its potential to deflect impact energy.

The helmet is constructed from Super Fiber and other special synthetic fibers originally developed for F-1 helmet visor panels, and is assembled and bonded by experts at Arai. A specially-developed resin creates stronger bonds between shell materials with less weight, resulting in superb tensile strength due to carefully-positioned materials and light weight resin. The helmet is DOT Approved and meets FMVSS 218 Standards.

The Arai Corsair-X Helmet features the exclusive VAS (Variable Axis System) shield and side pods, allowing for a lower shield mount position compared to most helmets. The dual function lever releases both the side pod and the face shield for quick and simple face shield removal, and securely captures and holds the face shield closed. Additionally, the larger latch design allows for intuitive and seamless operation. The VAS MAX Vision shield is standard, providing better visibility in all seasons and for all types of riding, and comes with a clear anti-fog Pinlock insert.

Typically, the shield mounting position must remain relatively high because a lower shield pivot will not allow the shield to open or close. However, the VAS (Variable Axis System) features a variable axis (moving pivot point), which permits shield opening and closing even with the lower shield position.

In conclusion, the Arai Corsair-X Helmet stands out for its advanced technology and design, ensuring top-notch protection and ease of use for riders in all types of conditions.
