Corsair-X Helmet - Rea-7 - Medium
The ARAI HELMETS Corsair-X Rea-7 helmet is engineered for optimal comfort and safety, featuring an intermediate oval shape that fits most head profiles common in North American markets. Designed with advanced ventilation, it incorporates an internal air channel system that effectively pulls hot and moist air from the eye port area through ducted channels behind the cheek pads, exhausting out the side cowl vents to keep riders cool and reduce fogging during rides. This innovative airflow system enhances overall comfort and visibility, making it suitable for high-performance riding in various conditions.
The shell is constructed using the proprietary PB-SNC2 material, a blend of Z Resin developed and mixed in-house. This premium resin bonds the multiple layers and materials of the shell more securely while using less resin, resulting in a lighter yet stronger helmet. The inclusion of super fibers and synthetic reinforcing fibers provides excellent impact absorption and glancing off properties, ensuring durability and rider protection. Additional structural reinforcements such as an internal structural net and peripheral belt further enhance the shell's strength without significantly increasing weight or thickness, maintaining a sleek profile and high safety standards.
Operational features include a shield latch system equipped with the Variable Axis System (VAS), which securely holds the shield closed and resists unexpected opening. The VAS shield mechanism allows smooth opening and closing through a double pivot point slot, even with the shield mounted at a lower position. The dual-function lever facilitates quick removal of the shield and side cover, and the larger latch design allows for easy operation even with gloves. The shield itself is designed with a positive stop to prevent unintentional opening, but can be easily lifted with a slight pull on the lift tab for de-misting or cleaning purposes.
Additional ventilation enhancements include the IC Duct5, which features a three-position slide gate to improve sealing against noise and water intrusion. The vents are mounted to be easily removable in impact situations, preventing snagging on obstacles and reducing rotational forces during crashes. Overall, the Corsair-X Rea-7 helmet offers a combination of advanced safety features, innovative ventilation, and user-friendly operation, making it an excellent choice for serious riders seeking performance and protection.
