Complex Fibre Laminate (CFL) employs special fibre layers bonded by unique resins formulated by Arai, producing an extremely high fibre to low resin ratio. This carefully managed construction delivers strength, structural integrity and impact flexibility which allows the rounded outer shell to do its main job - deflect, absorb and disperse impact energy over the widest possible area.
VENTILATION
Tour-X4 Ventilation
Easy to clean diffusers create a strong venture vacuum at the rear. Dual intake for increased airflow and lower noise level. Under-peak air intake collects and directs cool air into the helmet. Closable chin vent controls the airflow to the chin area. Inner chin vent shutter prevents debris coming into the helmet industy riding conditions. Brow ventilation, lower side vents and neck roll exhaust.
FRONT VENTILATION
Dual intake
Designed for increased airflow and lower noise level, guiding fresh, cool air into the interior.
Brow vents
Fresh air can enter directly to the forehead area without the need for holes in this critical area of the shell and impact absorbing liner. For specific models the ventilation is extended to the temple area.
Three position chin vent
Three-position chin vent helps in demisting the visor and offering fresh, cool air to the rider.
Inner chin (bar) vent shutter
Open and close the chin bar vents from the inside to prevent debris coming into the helmet in dusty riding conditions.
REAR VENTILATION
Neck exhaust vent
To enhance hot-air extraction from the interior. Increases the ventilation effect at the lower part of the helmet.
Removable diffuser
Creates a tremendous amount of venturi vacuum at the rear. Can be easily removed (for cleaning) or replacement.
Side exhausts
Produce 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.
AERODYNAMICS
Pull Down Chin Spoiler
Helps minimize wind noise and also aids with the extraction of hot air from the face area. Provides additional deflection of road debris away from neck. Depending on the model the Chin Spoiler is retractable.
VISOR
Pinlock insert lens
Effectively prevents misting and fogging of the visor, even under extreme wet and damp conditions. May be cleaned and changed easily.
INTERIOR
Dry-Cool Liner
Arais Dry-Cool material transfers heat and moisture away from the rider quickly and efficiently.
Replaceable Cheek pads/Ear cups
Cheek pads/ear cups may be easily removed. All 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.

Replaceable Interior
The complete interior may be easily removed. All 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.
Replaceable Chinstrap covers
All 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.
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.
5mm ''Peel Away'' Ear cups/Cheek pads
Giving even more ability to craft the perfect fit and comfort, the cheek pads feature a 5 mm peel away layer for added room if needed.
5mm ''Peel Away'' Temple pad
Arais peel-away temple crown pads give the option of 5 mm more interior width if needed.
COMFORT
Emergency Release System (ERS)
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.
ARAI FEATURES
Glancing Off
To minimize impact energy getting into the helmet, it's crucial that a helmet can slide over a surface. Arai believes that a Strong, Round & Smooth shell helps to increase a helmets ability to protect the rider during an impact. Shells with sharp edges or vent ducts that don't break off can reduce the helmet's ability to slide, sending energy into the helmet, or even enhance rotational energy.
Five times inspected
Each Arai helmet goes through five separate quality-control departments: after the shell is made, after painting and graphic completion, after assembly and two in-process inspections.
Washable interior
The premium quality interior of any Arai helmet can be easily cleaned, in place, with mild soap and lukewarm water.
Handmade
It 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.
All-day comfort
All-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.
Penetration tested
All 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.
Double-D ring device
The 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.
Smooth shape, better protection
The 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.
Strong outer shell, soft inner shell
Arai uses a very strong 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.
Organic shape
The 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.
5-year limited warranty
All 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 shells
Unlike 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 not to find the fit you are looking for.
Arai In-house test
This Arai helmet is designed to meet the stringent Arai In-house criteria, in addition to the mandatory ECE 22-05 standard.
