Arai RX-7 Corsair Colin Edwards Replica Helmet

As all motorcyle riders know, your head is the most vulnerable part of your body and it needs proper protection when you are out and about on your motorbike.

And sure you can just pick up a cheap helmet but is it going to give you the protection and the comfort of a helmet that has been designed specifically to provide protection, comfort and of course – style.

Arai Motorcycle helmets are made to provide protection and style. The Arai helmets are almost 100% handmade and each is signed by the craftsman who has constructed it.

You know when you buy an Arai Helmet that you are getting a product that is manufactured by a firm that has been making motorcycle helmets for over 65 years, from the time when Me Hirotake Arai started making helmets. This family tradition has been carried on by his son and grandson.

The Arai company take pride in their product and you can be sure that when you purchase an Arai motorcycle helmet you are buying quality and style and a helmet that is specifically crafted for safety and comfort.

There are a number of varying styles and finishes  available and each helmet really stands out from the rest of those available on the market because of its great design.

Arai introduced the Vector Helmet range this year which is a new and improved version of the Astral Series that Arai introduced a few years ago.

Arai Vector Shogun HelmetArai Vector Helmets such as the Vector Shogun Helmetshown,  have a removable liner and unique molded lines running front to back along the lower shell so that this range of helmets has a different look to other Arai helmets.

The shell of the Vector Helmets are constructed in Arai’s exclusive CLC (Complex laminate construction) giving the range a finish that is both strong and lightweight.

The “Organic Shell Shape,” allows the helmet to cut cleanly through the wind so that buffeting is reduced and the helmet is more “still” in turbulence than some of the  older models.

The Vector has slim, sleek SAJ face shield side pods and a new breath guard design that does a better job of directing fresh air to the inside surface of the shield while at the same time directing hot breath down and away from the inside surface of the shield.

So if you are in the market for a new motorcycle helmet, you should try the new Vector Range of Arai Helmets. Arai have gone a long way to ensure that the Vector helmets are comfortable and stylish.
