Arai SZ-R Vas Gun Metal Matt Open Face Helmet

Please note: In accordance with European standards, this helmet comes with a visor colourless.

Composition

  • New adult open face helmet for road and urban use
  • Evolution of the Arai SZ open face helmet
  • Top-of-the-range open face helmet

Safety

  • Sophisticated shell using the latest VAS concept, enhancing protection and ricochet capabilities
  • Material: PB-cLc2 outer shell ("Complex stratified construction (square) with peripheral belt"). Laminated super-fiber construction borrowed from Arai's F1 technology, considerably increasing shell strength and flexibility while maintaining low weight and a lower center of gravity.
  • Located in the upper part above the eyes, this band contributes to the use of a thinner EPS liner, greatly improving the upward field of vision
  • Round, smooth and very hard outer shell to distribute impact forces
  • Soft inner shell to absorb residual energy
  • Multi-density EPS inner shell, manufactured using a unique technology that combines between 3 and 5 densities in various zones in a single component
  • Lightweight: weight reduction thanks to a mixed Z resin combining various resins in a single component
  • Compact: the compact design has been refined, reducing wind resistance and biker fatigue
  • Chin strap: double D chin strap
  • Weight: 1200 g (+/- 50 g)
  • ECE 22.05-approved open face helmet

Comfort

  • Interior: removable, replaceable and washable in soft, supple, hypoallergenic, anti-microbial fabric helps maintain neutral acidity levels. Soft, deep and even more comfortable fit
  • Removable temple padding for a personalized fit
  • Cheek pads with a water-resistant layer: waterproof foam prevents water from penetrating, and also works as a sound deadener, adjusting sound to a moderate level
  • 5 mm "peel-off" earcups and cheek pads: featuring a 5 mm peel-off layer to save space when needed, for even greater fit and comfort
  • Replaceable earpieces and detachable slot for easy insertion of eyeglass temples
  • New visor: clear, scratch-resistant and predisposed for high-performance Pinlock anti-fog film (available as an option on iCasque)
  • New screen with VAS variable-axis system: with a lower pivot point that allows the shell to be more flexible in the temporal zone, improving the helmet's ability to slide more smoothly if it comes into contact with the ground. This lower pivot position is made possible by the dual-pivot assembly creating a Variable Axis System (VAS), enabling the display to operate where a single pivot could not.
  • With the VAS system, the visor's attachment position is lowered, offering an average of 24 mm more at the temples.
  • Optional Pro Shade external visor system: top, bottom or center, this new visor system adapts to a wide range of light conditions without sacrificing the helmet's impact protection performance. Its unique design lets air pass through even at high speeds
  • Replaceable chinstrap cover
  • Supplied with helmet bag
  • 5-year warranty

Ventilation

  • Ventilation: combined systems offer excellent, efficient ventilation. The new top duct provides 11% more airflow, with a larger knob for effortless operation. The new diffuser is 20 mm longer with improved aerodynamics and 19% more air intake, both of which work with the spoiler to improve stability.
  • Central top vent - inlet: new top vent offers 11% more airflow than the previous vent. The new, larger knob makes it easier to open and close. The new top vent has three positions: closed, semi-open and fully open to adjust airflow and prevent water intrusion when fully closed.
  • Rear ventilation: neck exhaust, improves extraction of warm air from inside. Increases the ventilation effect at the bottom of the helmet
  • Rear ventilation: side vents, produce less pressure behind the rear vent for better air extraction. Integrated into the shell for better aerodynamics, reduce wind noise and prevent shaking at high speeds. Inside, a small foam barrier helps absorb and reduce excessive noise, without reducing ventilation performance.

Aerodynamics

  • Aerodynamics: patented, non-adjustable Air Wing®. Moto GP tested and designed to reduce drag, turbulence and wobble for greater comfort and extra top speed. It improves helmet stability at high speeds or during hard braking, and reduces noise.

The "+" feature

  • Predisposed to receive a Bluetooth communication kit (available as an option on iCasque): speaker pockets are included, offering the space needed to position them, without affecting fit or comfort
  • Optional Pro Shade external visor system available
