Arai Adds New Graphics on 2012 Helmet Line
(Daytona, FL) Among the new graphic designs Arai has introduced in its 2012 VX-Pro3 dirt-helmet line is the “Pride” that features unusual typographic and visual variations on the Arai logo. It is available now, in three different colorways: Black, Blue, and Orange. All three can be seen together at AraiAmericas.com/vxpro3.
Most of the Pro3’s features and innovations point to the Arai family’s philosophy and three generations of emphasis on rider safety above all. First is Arai’s groundbreaking (and now copied) Emergency-Release Cheek Pad system created to allow easier access to an unresponsive rider. The helmet’s shell is rounded instead of ridged, which, along with the rounded (instead of pointed) chinbar, amplify Arai’s belief that rounder, smoother surfaces have less chance of digging in and twisting in a spill than those with “exaggerated ridges and creases.” The company also believes the smooth shell surface helps it do its main job better: quickly and smoothly dissipating impact energy.
Arai says ventilation is another key benefit of the VX-Pro3. Its top-mount diffuser technology is borrowed from Arai’s high-speed road racing helmet. The diffuser’s large ventilation ducts utilize low-pressure areas behind the vent to draw strong airflow through the entire helmet, even at moderate speeds on tighter tracks. The “radical” peak design actually scavenges and forces more air into the forehead vent ports for improved cooling.
Arai’s VX-PRO3 comes in sizes XS to XXL. Suggested retails range from $549.95 for solids, to $679.95 for the new “Pride” and other graphic designs. For complete information and the location of your nearest Arai retailer, log onto www.AraiAmericas.com/vxpro3.
