Helmet Arai Concept-X Overland

Although a nod to the past, the Concept-X is much more a helmet of the present. Ready for a generation of modern bikers who demand renewed vintage styling, but with the performance and comfort that only a helmet can offer Arai can offer.

E-Complex peripheral laminated construction with belt (PB e-cLc). The outer shell of the Concept-X uses a laminated e-Complex construction with peripheral belt (PB e-cLc) for lightweight strength; it is designed to quickly display and diffuse impact forces. New materials have been used to improve upon the previous AR-mat intermediate material and the result is a substantial weight reduction while maintaining the same strength of PB-cLc.

With thevAS system, the visor mounting position is lowered, allowing an average of 24 mm more around both temple areas, in search of the ideal smoother shape that will increase the ability to dissipate impact energy. As a result, it has been possible to achieve a smoother shell along and below the Snell standard test line.

Theflawless Concept-X outer shellHides a secret: theinternal ventilation system of Arai.Air for cooling enters through the visor's front vents and circulates through the comfortable liner to exit through three holes in the crown area, passing through a hidden multi-stage air channel that runs through the EPS liner, using the negative pressure created by the Venturi effect combined with the side vents and the vent in the collar. At the front and top, six mesh slots close for defogging and open for air circulation.

Free Flow System (FFS) - Free flow systemGenerates an airflow under the hull that reduces turbulence and wind noise while increasing hot air exhaust.

Themulti-stage concealed air ductThe hull is designed to evacuate the hot air from the hull through three holes located on theePS lining, the chin air intake opening/closing system is operable from the inside to prevent the entry of elements or dust inside the helmet. The opening/closing system of the chin air intake is operable from the inside to prevent the entry of elements or dust inside the helmet. To improve the extraction of hot air from the interior. Increases the ventilation effect in the lower part of the helmet.

Theside air outletsGenerate low pressure behind the rear ventilation opening to improve hot air extraction. Integrated into the shell for improved aerodynamics, they reduce wind noise and prevent high-speed shocks. Inside, a small foam barrier facilitates absorption and reduction of excess noise without compromising ventilation performance.

ThevAS Max Vision displayIs the standard for better visibility in all seasons and for all types of driving.

New screen locking system inherited directly from the helmet Arai of F1, the new screen opening-closing system works on three axes and, in locked position, closes the screen as never before. By lifting the new system with a simple gesture (also with gloves) it is possible to activate the de-mist function or to open the display completely.

That theinterior paddingBeantimicrobials, the new liner, which helps maintain neutral acidity levels close to those of human skin and has antibacterial properties, has a softer, deeper and even more comfortable fit. In an effort to make the fit softer, deeper and even more comfortable, a softer material has been developed for the liner shell. The liner also features adjustable temple padding for a customized fit.

ThepadsCheek/earflaps can beeasily disassembled. All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent. After cleaning, the helmet should be thoroughly rinsed and should never be left to dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Arai has interior parts of different thicknesses and sizes to accommodate each rider.

In addition, it incorporatesspeaker pockets.Integrated communication systems are very popular, but often the problem is limited space for a speaker or simply no speaker at all, causing uncomfortable pressure points. Special pockets allow room for speaker mounting without affecting comfort or fit (speaker not included).

ThefCS system (Facial Contour System),Designed to offer an even tighter fit and improve comfort under the chin, it works by means of a foam spring support in the cheek pad that compresses and rebounds, providing the necessary support without excess pressure.

Earmuffs/cheek pads"detachable"5 mm. Bringing more capability for perfection in fit and comfort, the cheek pads now include a 5 mm peel-off layer for more room if needed.

Emergency Release System (ERS). Allows easier access in case of pilot injury. The cheek pads can be slid off by pulling the orange tabs integrated in the cheek pads. This makes it easier for rescuers and medical personnel to remove the helmet. And the risk of further injury is minimized.

To minimize the impact energy entering the helmet, it is essential that a helmet be able to slide on a surface. Arai believes that a durable, rounded and smooth shell helps increase the helmet's ability to protect the rider during an impact. Shells with sharp edges or air intakes that do not break may reduce the helmet's ability to slide, transmit energy to the helmet or even dangerously increase rotational energy.

Each helmet Arai passes through five independent quality control departmentsInspections: inspections after the shell has been manufactured, after painting and graphic finishing, after assembly and two more during the process.

Thehigh quality interiorOf any hull Arai, can be easily washed without removing it, with warm water and delicate soap.

The experts at Arai it can take up to five years to create a calotte Arai. Each shell can include up to 27 stages, and the production of a helmet can include up to 27 stages Arai requires about 18 hours.

All helmets Arai are subjected topenetration tests, the penetration test is required, although European standards do not require it. The penetration test of Arai is carried out with a 3 kg test cone impacting the hull from a height of 3 m.

Locking device with double D. Flat, D-shaped rings fit smoothly on the chin. No moving parts or corrosion problems, just pull the tab to loosen the attachment.

Theanatomical shape of the outer shell made of AraiOffers a more natural look, provides greater firmness and conforms better to the natural shape of the head for increased comfort and fit and to minimize air turbulence. Smoothest outer shell in helmets Arai is designed to slide without offering unnecessary resistance. It is not desirable to decelerate the hull more than necessary. This is why the vents and ducts are designed to detach upon impact. Arai employs a very hard outer shell to spread the impact forces and a soft inner shell to absorb the remaining energy.

TheePS inner jacketIs manufactured using a unique technology that combines three to five densities in various areas as a single component.

All helmets Arai are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship, valid only for the first properly accredited user and for 5 years from the date of first use, but not later than 7 years from the date of manufacture.

Unlike many other manufacturers, Arai offers one outer shell size for every two helmet sizes for most models. In conjunction with different shaped outer shells for different models, it is virtually impossible not to find what you are looking for.

This helmet Arai has been designed to meet the stringent requirements of the internal criteria of Arai, in addition to the rules ofmandatory homologation, asECE 22-05.
