The Arai Helmets Corsair-X Schwantz 30th Anniversary Helmet combines race-inspired protection, advanced ventilation, and a refined fit for demanding street and track riders. This medium helmet features an intermediate oval shape designed to suit many head shapes commonly found in North American markets. Its lightweight construction helps reduce fatigue during extended rides, while the Schwantz 30th Anniversary design adds a distinctive finish for riders who value both performance and heritage.
The PB-SNC2 shell uses Super Fiber and special synthetic reinforcing fibers to create a strong, lightweight structure with excellent glancing-off characteristics. Arai’s in-house Z Resin bonding process securely joins the shell’s multiple layers and materials while using less resin. An internal structural net and peripheral belt reinforce the shell with minimal added weight or thickness, supporting a balanced combination of strength and comfort.
Ventilation is supported by an internal air channel system that draws hot, moist air away from the eye port area and routes it through ducted channels behind the cheek pads. The air is then exhausted through the side cowl vents to help keep the rider cool and reduce fogging. The IC Duct5 system uses a three-position slide gate to improve sealing, helping limit noise and water intrusion while allowing riders to adjust airflow for changing conditions.
The VAS shield mechanism combines a lower shield mount with a double-pivot trajectory for smooth opening and closing. A larger latch supports intuitive operation, even when wearing heavy gloves, while the dual-function lever releases the side cover and shield pin for quick shield removal. The shield includes a positive stop to help prevent unintended opening, and the VAS latch securely holds it closed. Lightly mounted vents are designed to remain frangible in an impact, helping reduce snagging and excess rotational force. The Arai Helmets Corsair-X Schwantz 30th Anniversary Helmet is identified by part number 0101-17589.
