Arai Helmets

Model #ARAI-GP6RC-XL


Shopper Award

The new GP-6RC is a stunning example of Arai?s vision and technological mastery engineered into a functional, real-world piece of safety equipment. It begins with a startling advancement: a proprietary Carbon Fiber (CF) weave that combines CF?s existing benefits of high strength and extreme light weight with a major added benefit that standard CF does not possess: flexibility. (Standard CF tends to splinter or shatter instead of flex on impact.) The result is a helmet ready for the unparalleled demands and requirements of Formula-1 racing. One whose remaining list of features and advances is impressive because, for this helmet and its prospective user, it simply has to be. The GP-6RC meets or exceeds the FIA 8860-2010 Standard and the SNELL SAH 2010 Standard.

Features:

  • Positive Shield Latch
  • New Shield Pivot Hardware
  • Standard Accesssory Kit
  • Three large, closeable, intake vents combined with larger 10mm holes and two aditional exhaust vents in the center of the helmet greatly increase air flow
  • Hand Post Anchors
  • E-Ject Ready Crown Pads

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

The company ensures that all its products meet all required standards such as the Snell Memorial Foundation safety standard and the FIA requirement for multiple motorsport events such as Formula 1.
