Arai Helmets

Model #Arai-205 300 103


Shopper Award

The Arai GP-5W is the result of the demand from drivers in stock car, sedan and rally classes. It has quickly become a favorite of many drivers because of the wider eye port (90mm or 3.5 inches). The exterior and interior of the GP-5W are almost identical to Arai's GP-5 PED but because of the larger eye port an exclusive shield visor is used.Features:

  • Constructed with Arai's Lightweight ScLc (Super Complex Laminate Construction) Technology to offset the weight of the larger shield
  • Smaller more natural head shape and lower the center of gravity to help reduce fatigue and give a Lighter feel
  • Larger eye port than comparable models at 90 mm or approximately 3.5 inches
  • Removable cheek pads allow for a personalized fit and easier cleaning
  • Two intake and exhaust ducts allow increased airflow even in a closed cockpit (front and rear vents are closeable)
  • Pre drilled for HANS post installation with newly integrated seats for HANS posts providing a flat surface for the anchor to sit flush around its entire perimeter.

Who is Arai?

Arai Helmet is a Japanese company that specializes in manufacturing helmets for motorcycles and other motorsport use. The company’s history can be traced back to the 1900s when Yuichiro Arai produced kepi-style caps. When the company was taken over by his son Hirotake Arai in 1930, he produced sun barrier caps for the military.

After the war, the company started making shirts and overalls and also made safety helmets for construction workers. As an avid motorcyclist himself, he, later on, decided to create helmets specifically designed for motorcycle use, and the rest is history. Today, Arai is one of the most recognized brands when it comes to helmets worldwide.

Continuous Development

Throughout the years, the company has continuously improved and developed its helmet design to make it safer for riders. Their product has been used by many racers since the 1970s and has helped in saving a lot of lives of many drivers from different racing disciplines.

High-Quality Product

All Arai helmets are hand-built with each having a fibre reinforced plastic shell incorporated with multiple reinforcing parts, creating a round base known as the “Bird’s nest”. Using their own patented moulding process, the shells are then assembled inside a concave metal mould. Their keen attention to detail has made their product one of the best helmets in the market.

Safety is their Priority
