All helmets are supplied with a clear visor as standardConcept-XE’s brute simplicity is the product of imagination, but make no mistake, while the retro style may grab the attention it had to pass Arai’s stringent in-house testing. So underneath the aggressive look, you’ll find a strong, lightweight PB e-cLc shell, with a smooth and round shape, reinforced with Arai’s proprietary peripheral belt, to slide across surfaces and glance-off obstacles. The VAS-VC shield system, with its retro mechanical look, further enhances glancing-off performance by lowering the visor pivot point to maximize a smooth upper shell.
Although a nod to the past, the Concept-XE is very much a helmet of the present. Ready for a generation of modern riders that demand a new, old style – but with the performance and comfort only an Arai can provide.
ECE R22-06 requires a much more stringent testing process than the previous ECE R22-05 and includes an oblique test to measure rotation. Acquisition of the latest standards represents the current benchmark of the time, but Arai always continues to pursue improvements to protect the rider.
