The graphics are fine, but I'm not an Arai fan. Most over rated helmet out there.


They won't get one penny more of my money ever.

QFT!!! I could have just about been an Arai rep I loved them so much! Now I'm rocking the Shark which I like much better for the money! I'm thinking about an AIROH, 4 shell sizes, plenty of features, super light AND not too many people have them yet! Besides, I don't know the noise numbers but with all of those vents, I doubt you'll find a lid that pushes more air!

Review of the enduro lid..

I love my Arai, but it is only a year old, and the vent on the front will not close.

Well my ROOF that Rez sent me was over 6yrs old so I NEEDED one...plus the wife didn't want the Noland that came with the RT (he GAVE me a new com helmet that his daughter wore like 3 times) because someone ELSE's head had been in it....despite me removing the liner and washing the hell out of it so when I saw the Suomy deal.....

This thread reminds me that I need a new helmet. Now that the season is over for me I'm going to wait and see if there are any deals at the bike shows.

I wouldn't count on it. The bike shows haven't had deals for years.

SLAM !!!

Arai & Racer X = OWN3D

Outdated earpod design, one of the worst visor removal systems, and way overpriced IMO. The only thing above-average about Arais is the liner quality, and maybe the paint.
