Arai Corsair-X Helmet – Snell 2020

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
• Variable axis (moving pivot point) allows shield mount position to be lower than most helmets
• Dual function lever releases both the side pod and the face shield for quick and simple face shield removal

VAS Shield Latch System:

• Captures and holds the face shield closed securely
• Provides a de-mist position to slightly crack the shield open
• Larger latch design allows for intuitive and seamless operation

VAS V MV Shield:

• The VAS MAX Vision shield is standard to provide better visibility in all seasons and for all types of riding and comes standard with a clear anti-fog Pinlock insert.

VAS Shield System:

• Normally the shield mounting position must remain relatively high, because a lower shield pivot will not allow the shield to open or close. The VAS (Variable Axis System) has a variable axis (moving pivot point). This allows shield opening and closing even with the lower shield position.

Diffuser Type 12:

• X Type 12 air diffusers are longer than the Corsair V
• Straightened for improved aerodynamics
• Work together with the AirWing to improve stability and creates a 19% gain in efficiency
• Air intake vents have three positions (closed, half open and fully open)
• Vents are easy to operate with gloved hands
• Air intake vents create a tight seal to decrease wind noise and water intrusion

Additional Features:

• Fully removable and soft interior liner and cheek pads
• Made from odor-resistant material which helps maintain neutral acidity levels close to human skin
• Adjustable temple padding to allow for a customized fit
• Cheek pad speaker pockets
• Neckroll is removable and has additional exhaust channels to remove interior heat
• Emergency cheek pad release system (ERS)
• Snell 2020 and DOT approved

Performance

Arai has created a stronger shell and smoother shape that is more likely to redirect impact energy rather than absorb it, decreasing the amount of force transferred to the body. To increase this potential to glance off impact energy, the VAS (Variable Axis System) side pod, pivot cover is smaller in size and its position on the shell is lower. The PB e-cLc outer shell design outlines a stylish, organic shape over five shell sizes. Peripherally Belted e-Complex Laminate Construction allows strength without the penalty of weight.

Continuity

The Corsair Helmet is ready for the world’s race tracks and all roads in between.

The same zeal that the Corsair-X brings to the racecourse matches the emphasis that the Corsair brings to comfort, ventilation and stability. The fully removable interior liner system is made from odor resistant material, which helps maintain neutral acidity levels close to human skin. Adjustable temple padding and cheek pads can be tailored for a customized fit. Intake vents can be set to fully open, full closed or half. The signature Corsair-X “Type 12” diffusers that run along the helmet’s crown deliver a 19% aerodynamic improvement.
