help Arai Corsair-X FAQ
What shell construction is used on the Arai Corsair-X?
The Corsair-X utilizes Arai's proprietary PB SCLC (Peripheral Belting Super Complex Laminate Construction) fiberglass shell. This design is engineered to spread impact energy across a wider area of the strong shell rather than penetrating it.
What is the VAS shield system on the Arai Corsair-X?
VAS stands for Variable Axis System, which allows the side pods to sit lower on the helmet shell to increase the smooth area above them. This smoother shell design improves the helmet's ability to glance off obstacles during an impact.
What head shape does the Arai Corsair-X fit best?
The Corsair-X is specifically designed with an intermediate oval interior shape, which fits the majority of riders in North America. Arai offers other models, like the Signet-X, for riders who specifically need a long-oval fit.
Is the Arai Corsair-X Snell certified?
Yes, every Arai Corsair-X helmet meets both the DOT standard and the stringent Snell M2020 certification. Passing the Snell Memorial Foundation tests ensures it can withstand extreme, multiple-impact scenarios common in track accidents.
