The Arai Helmets Corsair-X Helmet in the Rea-7 design and 2XL size is engineered for riders who demand advanced protection, dependable ventilation, and precise shield operation. Its intermediate oval interior shape is designed to fit the majority of head shapes found in the North American market, providing a secure and comfortable fit for high-performance riding. The PB-SNC2 shell combines Super Fiber, special synthetic reinforcing fibers, an internal structural net, and a peripheral belt to deliver excellent strength and glancing-off performance while keeping weight to a minimum.
The Corsair-X Helmet uses an Internal Air Channel system to improve airflow throughout the helmet. Ducted channels behind the cheek pads draw hot, moist air away from the eye-port area and direct it through the side cowl vents, helping riders stay cooler while reducing the potential for fogging. The IC Duct5 ventilation system uses a three-position slide gate to improve sealing, helping limit wind noise and water intrusion. The vents are lightly mounted so they can separate during an impact, reducing the chance of snagging on obstacles or creating excess rotational force.
Shield operation is refined through Arai's Variable Axis System (VAS) mechanism. The lower shield mount position, combined with the pin trajectory and double-pivot slot design, allows smooth opening and closing. A large latch is easy to operate while wearing heavy gloves, and the positive stop helps prevent unintended opening, including in the de-mist position. The dual-function lever releases both the side cover and shield pin for straightforward shield removal. Identified by part number 0101-18553, this Arai Helmets Corsair-X Helmet delivers a focused combination of shell technology, airflow management, and practical track-inspired functionality.
