QUITE SIMPLY, A GROUNDBREAKING LEAP IN THE STATE-OF-THE-ART: Arai's new GP-6RC is a stunning example of Arai's state-of-the-art vision and technology engineered into a functional, real-world piece of safety equipment, one whose design and execution would be al fitting in an art gallery as in the hyper-kinetic world of racing. It begins with a startling advancement: a proprietary Carbon Fiber weave that combines CF's existing benefits of high strength and extreme light weight with a major added benefit that standard CF does not possess: flexibility! (It's well known that standard CF tends to splinter or shatter instead of flex on impact.) The flexibility in the GP-6RC's shell is at the heart of Arai's ability to product such a breathtaking helmet. A helmet designed to meet Arai's own almost-impossible standards of excellence and performance even before the helmet was subjected to other standards. A helmet ready for the unparalleled demands and requirements of Formula-1 racing. One whose remaining list of features and advances is impressive because, for this helmet, it has to be. All wrapped in an extremely compact package. And every one is built to order! The only thing left to say is, be careful: You may never want to take it off!
Positive-Lock Shield
Positive shield lock mechanism provides Solid latchin, while allowing normal operation of the shield.
Designed to be an integral component of the shield system and function, not just an add-on afterthought.
The simplicity of the function masks the complexity of the design.
New Shield Pivot Hardware
New shield pivot hardware, with redesigned track slider that improves aerodynamics.
New wider 6 series shield, with wider eye port, for increased peripheral field of view.
Shield, pivot-hardware and wider eye port were developed on the RC and will be the basis for all future 6 series models.
Wider Eyeport
Wider eye port for increased peripheral field of view
Ventilation
Larger, closeable intake vents combined with larger 10mm hole greatly increases air intake.
Larger 10mm rear vent hole increases airflow even further.
Shell
Proprietary Carbon Fiber material and weave provide an extremely strong, yet flexible material, which helps impact energy management.
Multiple reinforcing materials are used to improve performance and keep weight and size to a minimum
