The Arai Helmets Corsair-X Helmet in the Dani Samurai-3 graphic combines race-focused protection, refined aerodynamics, and practical rider-focused features. Part number 0101-17687 identifies this XS helmet, designed for riders who want a secure fit, clear visibility, and reliable airflow for track days, sport riding, and everyday performance motorcycle use. Its PB-SNC² shell is constructed from super fiber and synthetic fibers to provide a strong, flexible structure while helping reduce unnecessary weight.
The VAS shield mechanism uses a variable-axis design with a moving pivot point. By combining the pin trajectory with the double-pivot slot paths, the shield opens and closes smoothly despite the lower shield mounting position. A dual-function lever releases both the side cover and shield pin, allowing quick shield removal, while the visible mechanism makes shield changes easier. The VAS Max-V (BV) shield provides broad visibility across seasons and riding conditions, and a clear Pinlock® insert is included to help reduce fogging. The shield latch securely holds the shield closed, while its enlarged design supports intuitive operation and convenient de-mist control.
Air management is handled by the IC Duct5 and Diffuser Type 12 ventilation systems. The three-position intake and exhaust controls help increase airflow, improve sealing, and limit road noise and water intrusion when closed. A smaller, lower VAS pivot cover and smooth shell profile in the temple area support the helmet’s glance-off performance during an impact. Inside, the fully removable odor-resistant liner helps maintain a neutral pH near the skin and includes soft frame material for comfort. Removable temple padding and a removable, replaceable crown pad allow riders to fine-tune the fit and simplify cleaning and maintenance.
