More innovation, more protection, more ventilation, more of everything you expect from an Arai. The current fad of helmet shells having exaggerated ridges and creases molded into the shell runs counter to Arai's philosophy. We believe a smooth surface is better at helping the shell do the job it's made for: quickly and smoothly dissipating impact energy. And, like our Rounded Chinbar below, it's is also less likely to catch and dig in during a spill. Bottom line: Arai is driven by rider safety, not fads. What's "cool" isn't as important as what's better.

This is the best helmet ever tested!" - Motocross Action "What we really think about when we put on a helmet are safety and confidence. And everyone feels that when we're wearing an Arai...Rating: 95" - Dirt Rider "The VX-Pro (DC) was already considered by many, including us, as the off-road helmet by which all others should be judged, but somehow, Arai found ways to improve upon it with the new VX-Pro3 helmet" - Cycle News
