Arai Corsair V RC

THE ULTIMATE IN CARBON FIBER! The brand new Arai Corsair V RC carbon fiber helmet is one of the most special helmets ever offered to the motorcycling community. Each outer shell consists of no less than eleven carefully applied carbon fiber layers. The technology of the new Corsair V RC is based on that of the GP-6 RC car-racing helmet, which was specially developed for Formula 1 use. It consists of an extremely stiff and light carbon fibre outer shell, reinforced with the “Peripherally Belted” construction. The Arai engineers searched and found a superior carbon fiber quality. A mixture of aircraft quality premium carbon fiber with Arai’s own resin and Zylon reinforcement proved to be the perfect mixture for the outer shell. It takes a skilled Arai craftsman a full working day just to make one outer shell

The new Arai Corsair V  Helmet proves again that Arai’s main focus is the experienced rider who knows what a real helmet should do and have. It doesn’t fling fashion at you; it advanced the art of building better helmets for riders. Its improvements and innovations reach down to the smallest details. Why? Partly obsession. Partly because Arai believes every part of a helmet is interrelated in both design and function. We don’t believe in change for the sake of change, fad, or marketing “shock” value.

Features:

  • Newly designed shell with Hyper-Ridge around the bottom enhances shell strength while providing a larger bottom opening
  • Larger bottom opening promotes ease of putting on and taking off the helmet
  • Peripheral belting across the forehead area of the shell enhances structural integrity while maintaining flexibility, low weight and shell size
  • Larger upper vent tabs make operating the vents easier even with thick winter gloves
  • New Arai “SAI” shield with Super AdSis shield system
  • New “SAI” shield is 5mm longer in each side and provides a wider field of view
  • New “SAI” shield and base plates are exclusive to Corsair V helmets
  • Latest generation of Dry Cool line has a new silver-grey color
  • Rear mounting straps are slightly re-positioned exclusively to the Corsair V
  • Neckroll is removable and has additional exhaust channels to remove interior heat
  • Cheek pads have the exclusive Emergency Release Tab feature
  • Newly designed side exhaust cowls exhaust heat as well as add lateral stability at speed
  • Enhanced air inlets of the new DF-9 diffuser increase airflow efficiency
  • Brow vents now duct air into the temple area and out the side vents for maximum cooling
  • Exclusive AirWing provides unprecedented aerodynamic performance with 5 distinct positions
  • DOT approved
  • Snell M2010 Certified

Arai Corsair V Race Carbon Helmet 4.9 5 60 60
Worth the money It was hard to convince myself to spend this much on a new helmet, but I'm really glad I did. It makes riding so much better! It's quieter that every other helmet I've used, but still provides a good amount of air flow. My neck stopped hurting after long rides, which makes me want to ride further more. I would definitely recommend this helmet to anyone serious about riding. May 20, 2013
The best I've worn. The light weight, comfortable fit and whisper quiet interior is well worth the price. They say you should pay for a helmet what you think your head is worth. At this level of protection and functionality you are paying what you think your riding and racing experience is worth. I could wear my Corsair V on a tricycle and have a blast! May 13, 2013
Second Arai and revzilla has best price This is my second Arai helmet. My first was the older model of this same helmet and I love it. It may be listed as the top end race helmet or what ever but its your head you're protecting. These vent very well and in central Texas that is huge. They are very well made, the visor is very easy to change, and the padding doesn't break down. My old one is just over 5 years old and is just as tight and comfy as this new one out of the box. Revzilla was almost 200$ cheaper than the local store and at least 50$ cheaper than all the other online stores. This is the third product I've bought from them and very satisfied with how fast they ship. May 7, 2013
Great racing helmet This is my first Arai helmet and it didn't disappoint. I use it for riding on the track only and it has greatly reduced wind resistance. It is not for everyone because of its high price and plain look but overall I am very happy with this helmet. May 6, 2013
Great Helmet As you expect from Arai. great helmet with great air flow and light weight. the red on the graphics is more like a Hi vis red but it's a replica so no complains. and of course grew customer service from the ZLA team. Thanks May 6, 2013
great helmet Used it cruising and it stopped almost all wind induced head movement. Wore it sport riding and tucked and it just locks in. Great airflow in upper 80's temps. April 29, 2013
Best helmet I ever own The Arai Corsair V is exactely what I was looking for, I was affraid of the air flow and the wind wings once I ride a Sport/Naked bike, but the helmet fit the naked position also perfectely, even when I'm not at the tuck position. It is not the quietest helmet I worn, but is very confortable and firm to my head, not making pressure on my chin or nose when above the 200km/h as usually happens with my other quality helmets. Great purchase, great product, great deal on the best store! Thanks! April 29, 2013
best helmet i've owned thusfar great air flow! i live in las vegas and in the warmer months it gets extremely hot this helmet is like have a personal a/c for your head April 16, 2013

right off the bat i'm going to need a dark smoke shield. this is a $800+ helmet, whats the deal with the shields? like most helmets it ships with a clear shield, but then you are selling dual panes, inserts, tear offs (i know these are for racing), pinlock inserts...the list goes on.

I'm a Bell Star guy, they make things fairly simple. If I am to get into the Arai game, can someone please explain to me what I need to be equipped with a dark smoke shield for sunny street riding conditions. Thanks.

Answers

Answer: 
In order to be equipped with a dark smoke shield you will have to buy said shield separately as Arai helmets only come with a clear shield
If you want/need NO FOG AT ALL you will need a Pinlock visor - whatever brand of helmet you choose.
They are entirely worth the money! But that is a different issue ...

Whichever your brand of helmet just make sure it fits properly, otherwise you have wasted your money

Answer: 
The graphics on the Arai Corsair V Aoyama are red with orange insets/accents.Toward the bottom of the helmet the gradient goes from black to red. Just above the visor line there are burnt orange stripes that separate the red from the inset orange (red outlines). As the orange moves toward the front of the helmet it blends to back to red. On top, on the vent channels, the red blends to a dark red (again as an inset) then back to the bright red. All through the colors it has a fine metal flake so it sparkles in the light. Overall I say it's red (and I went to art school and worked as an illustrator) but you have to see it - pictures don't do the paint job justice. It's really awesome and has a lot of subtle blends and details.

I have an Icon Alliance helmet in XS -- it fits tight but well and comfortable. I am looking to upgrade to an Arai Corsair V. Looking at the sizing chart, seems that I should order a size S in the Corsair V, but typically S is too big for me. Does the Corsair V run small and I should order it in S or does it fit more like the Icon Alliance (and I should therefore stick with an XS)?
THX!

Answer: 
Hi Thomas,
Icon and Arai have similar dimensions for their XS sized helmets; both accommodate 20.875” to 21.25”. The Arai Corsair V tends to have a slightly round shape, as opposed to the Alliance which is more neutral. The benefit is the Corsair may provide you more room side to side. Where does you Alliance feel snug?

Answer: 
I'm not familiar with the Icon but used the size chart and the RevZilla video to determine the size of my Corsair V and it was dead on. The Arai website has a lot of sizing information too (http://www.araiamericas.com/). My advice is to get a cloth measuring tape, measure your head like the video shows, and then go with the chart. Head shape is a factor but Arai recommends changing the comfort pads if the regular ones feel too tight or loose. Give RevZilla a call if you are still not sure.

Answers

Answer: 
The short answer is: Definitely.

This helmet does not limit your riding posture, or put you in a disadvantage when not riding tucked.

Imagine a normal helmet, with the visor extended up about an inch. It gives you flexibility, but does not limit you. The features are optimized for the tucked position or a race oriented driver without sacrificing anything for the average joe.

Answer: 
It can be. But it's made for the tuck, and way better in the tuck. If you want this helmet and ride more not tucked then tucked I suggest the RX-Q. Basically the corsair modified for street use/not full tuck.
