Although the Concept-X pays homage to a style of the past, it is made for a modern generation of bikers looking for a helmet with a classic look, but with the comforts and performance that Arai guarantees:
- The helmet is designed to suit today's biker needs, with optimized ventilation, a comfortable fit and features such as the ability to customize the interior, like cheek pads and the FCS (Facial Contour System).
- In addition to its visual appeal, the helmet is ready to integrate with modern communication systems and provides a pleasant riding experience, thanks to its low noise level and excellent air circulation.
The Concept-X is a high-end motorcycle helmet designed by Arai, with a number of advanced features to enhance safety, comfort and performance. Here are the specifications and technology highlights of this helmet:
General
- PB e-cLc (e-Complex peripheral laminated construction with belt) outer shell: Uses advanced materials for lightweight strength and better diffusion of impact forces. AR-mat intermediate material has been improved to reduce weight without sacrificing strength.
- Variable Axis System (VAS): Allows the visor position to be lowered, which helps create a smoother surface and improves the ability to dissipate impact energy.
Ventilation
- Concept-X Ventilazione: Internal air circulation system that uses holes in the front and back of the helmet to keep the helmet cool, using a hidden air channel and negative pressure to evacuate hot air.
- Free Flow System (FFS): Improves ventilation and reduces turbulence and wind noise.
- Front and rear ventilation system: Allows fresh air to enter and hot air to escape without piercing critical areas. In addition, it has a chin opening/closing system to prevent the entry of dust.
- Side and rear ventilation openings: Improve hot air extraction and help reduce noise and shaking at high speeds.
Aerodynamics
- Fixed chin flap: Helps minimize wind noise and facilitates hot air extraction from the face area.
Visor
- VAS MAX Vision visor: Provides excellent visibility in a variety of conditions, with an anti-fog option.
- Shield closure system: A system derived from F1 helmets, ensuring a firm and effective closure.
- Pinlock Lens: Prevents the visor from fogging in high humidity conditions.
Interior
- Antimicrobial padding: Offers greater comfort and helps maintain hygiene, with softer, more adaptable material.
- Replaceable cheek pads and earmuffs: Allow the helmet to be adjusted for comfort and ease of cleaning.
- Facial Contour System (FCS): Provides a snug, comfortable fit under the chin.
- Speaker pockets: Facilitates integration of communication systems without compromising comfort.
- Emergency Release System (ERS): Allows quick and safe helmet removal in the event of an accident, facilitating access for rescuers.
Features Arai
- Deflection: The outer shell has a rounded and smooth shape to improve sliding ability and reduce energy transfer during an impact.
- Quality inspection: Each Arai helmet undergoes five rigorous inspections during manufacturing.
- Handmade: Each Arai shell requires 18 to 27 manufacturing steps and about 18 hours of labor.
- All-day comfort: The helmet is designed to be comfortable for long periods of use, thanks to its anatomical shape and weight balance.
- Penetration testing: Arai helmets undergo rigorous penetration testing beyond European standards.
- Double D closure system: A simple and secure chin closure system.
- Hard outer shell, soft inner liner: Combines a durable outer shell with an inner liner that absorbs impact energy.
Approvals
- ECE 22-05: Meets the most common international certification for motorcycle helmets, required in over 50 countries.
Warranty
- 5-year limited warranty: Coverage against defects in materials and workmanship, valid for the first user for 5 years from the first use (never after 7 years from the date of manufacture).
In summary, the Concept-X is a high performance helmet with advanced ventilation, aerodynamic and safety technologies designed to maximize rider protection and comfort.
