Arai Corsair-X Blade Helmet - Snell 2020

Arai Corsair-X Blade Helmet

The Arai Corsair-X Helmet advances in helmet technology and rider safety, focusing not just on direct impact protection but also on minimizing the effects of angular impacts. The helmet's strengthened shell and smoother design aim to redirect rather than absorb impact energy, thus reducing force transferred to the rider. Featuring the VAS (Variable Axis System) side pod, it enhances the helmet's ability to glance off impact energy due to its smaller size and lowered position on the shell. Equipped with a chin curtain, it mitigates air intrusion and improves exhaust ventilation by enhancing negative pressure. Additionally, the interior is lined with Arai's signature 5mm peel-away padding at the ear pockets, providing space for communicator speakers.

PB SNC2 Shell:

• Constructed from Super Fiber and other special synthetic fibers developed for F-1 helmet visor panels
• Assembled and bonded by Arai experts
• Specially-developed resin creates stronger bonds between shell materials with less weight
• Shell has superb tensile strength due to a variety of carefully-positioned materials and light weight resin

VAS Shield System:

• VAS (Variable Axis System) face shield and side pods are exclusive to the Arai Corsair X Helmet
