Arai Corsair X Full-Face Motorcycle Helmet SNELL M2020 / the most fabled name in the entire Arai lineup, the Corsair has long been renowned as one of the most advanced, highest quality helmets available anywhere in the world. It represents the culmination of our vast experience in helmet design and unwavering focus on rider protection. And with features like the ingenious VAS shield mechanism, dramatically improved airflow and ventilation, and an odor resistant liner, the Corsair-X has certainly earned its place as our flagship model.
• Features intermediate oval shape which fits the majority of head shapes in the North American
markets
• Internal Air Channel - Improved ventilation with an enhanced air extraction system, pulling hot/moist air from the eye port area through ducted channels behind the cheek pads that exhaust out the side cowl vents, keeping the rider cool and helping to reduce fogging
• PB-SNC2 Shell - Z Resin developed and blended in-house, bonds the many layers and materials of the shell more securely using lest resin, improving shell strength as well as reducing weight
• Super Fiber and special synthetic reinforcing fibers allows for a stronger, yet lighter shell with excellent Glancing Off properties
• The addition of the internal Structural net and Peripheral Belt further strengthens the shell with minimal increase to weight or thickness
• Shield Latch - The Variable Axis System (VAS) latch captures and securely holds the shield closed to help resist unexpected opening
• VAS Shield Mechanism - By combining the pin trajectory with the two trajectories of the double pivot point slot, the shield opens and closes smoothly even with the much lower shield mount position
• Dual-function lever releases both the side cover/pod and shield pin for quick and simple shield removal
• Larger latch allows for intuitive and seamless shield operation, even with heavy gloves
• Shield has a positive stop to resist unintentional opening, even in the de-mist position, but with a slight pull on the lift tab to clear this stop the shield simply lifts with ease
• IC Duct - Uses a three-position slide gate to improve sealing for reduced noise and water intrusion
• Vents are lightly mounted to remain frangible and easily come off in an impact so as not to snag on obstacles or cause excess rotational force
