The Arai Corsair-X Helmet - MVK Oakley combines advanced protection, smooth shield operation, and race-inspired ventilation for demanding street and track riders. Built with Arai’s PB-SNC² shell, the helmet uses super fiber and synthetic fibers to provide a strong, flexible structure designed to help manage impact energy while maintaining a streamlined profile. The lower, smoother shell shape and reduced VAS pivot cover support the helmet’s glance-off ability by helping objects deflect away from the temple area during an impact. This Small-size helmet is identified by Arai part number 0101-17637.
The VAS shield mechanism uses a variable-axis design with a moving pivot point. By combining the shield pin trajectory with the double-pivot slot paths, the system allows the shield to open and close smoothly despite its lower mounting position. A dual-function lever releases both the side cover and shield pin, making shield removal quick and straightforward. The visible mechanism also helps simplify shield changes. The VAS latch securely captures the shield when closed, while its larger design supports intuitive operation and includes a de-mist function.
The standard VAS Max-V BV shield provides a wide field of view for changing seasons and riding conditions, while a clear Pinlock insert is included to help reduce fogging. The Diffuser Type 12 intake vents offer three positions and are engineered to improve sealing, helping limit road noise and water intrusion. The IC Duct5 ventilation system promotes airflow through a three-position switch that is easier to operate and designed to limit water entry when fully closed.
Inside, the odor-resistant, fully removable comfort liner helps maintain a neutral pH level close to the skin for a fresher riding experience. Soft frame material enhances comfort, and removable temple padding along with a removable and replaceable crown pad allows riders to refine the fit. The Arai Corsair-X in MVK Oakley styling delivers a focused combination of aerodynamic performance, visibility, ventilation, and customizable comfort for serious riding.
