The MX-V evolved from the much loved VX-3 model. Years of experience can be found in this ultimate off road helmet. The perfect choice for MX, Enduro & Off-road use. Just as found in every Arai helmet, the basic & simple organic shell shape is based on the R75 Shape concept. The absence of exaggerated edges or protrusions on the shell is not a lack of creativity, but a commitment to maintaining the integrity of the shell with real world impact performance. MX-V: Ventilation Easy to clean diffusers create a strong venture vacuum at the rear. Centre top vent for increased airflow. Under-peak air intake collects & directs cool air into the helmet. Inner chin vent shutter prevents debris coming into the helmet in dusty riding conditions. Goggle ventilation & lower side vents. Shell Construction: SCLC Super Complex Laminate Construction The latest aerospace fibres, with 30% more strength in extension & bending resistance than standard fiberglass comprises the majority of the SCLC shell. While considerably more expensive than most fiberglass (and in fact more than many Carbon Fibre materials), this “ Super Fibre” provides incredible flexibility & strength, which maximizes shell integrity. A specially designed “mechanically expanded fibre mat, ” sandwiched between the inner & outer layers of Arai´s proprietary Super Fibre Laminates, is used to reinforce & bond these two Super Fibre layers without adding significant weight to the helmet. Front Ventilation: Center top vent The new Top Vent provides 11% more airflow than the previous Vent. The new bigger switch makes opening & closing easier. The new Top Vent has three positions, closed, half open & fully open to adjust the airflow & prevent water intrusion when fully closed. Inner chin (bar) vent shutter Open & close the chin bar vents from the inside to prevent debris coming into the helmet in dusty riding conditions. Rear Ventilation: Removable three-piece rear exhaust Creates a tremendous amount of venturi vacuum at the rear. Can be easily removed (for cleaning) or replacement. Rear Ventilation: Side exhausts Produce low pressure behind the rear vent for better hot air extraction. Integrated in the shell for better aerodynamics, reduce wind noise & prevent buffeting at speed. Inside, a small foam dam helps to absorb & diminish excessive noise, without reducing ventilation performance. Interior: Dry-Cool® Liner Arai´s Dry-Cool® material transfers heat & moisture away from the rider quickly & efficiently. Interior: Replaceable Cheek pads/ Ear cups Depending on the model, cheek pads, ear cups or the complete interior may be easily removed. All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with lukewarm water & mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning & never dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Interior parts in different size thickness are available for a custom fit for every rider.

Interior: Replaceable Neckroll Depending on the model, cheek pads, ear cups or the complete interior may be easily removed. All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with lukewarm water & mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning & never dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Interior parts in different size thickness are available for a custom fit for every rider. Interior: Facial Contour System (FCS) To offer an even better snug fit & enhancing the comfort to the lower jaw, the Facial Contour System (FCS) works with a foam spring support in the cheek pad that compresses & rebounds, providing the necessary support without excessive pressure. Interior: 5mm ’’ Peel Away’’ Ear cups/ Cheek pads Giving even more ability to craft the perfect fit & comfort, the cheek pads now feature a 5 mm peel away layer for added room if needed. Comfort: Emergency Release System (ERS) Allows easier access to an injured rider. By pulling the orange tabs integrated in the pads, the cheek pads slide out. Making helmet removal easier for trained medical personnel & rescuers. Minimising the risk of additional injury. Comfort: Breath guard Works in conjunction with the dual-pivot® chin vent to better direct fresh air to the inside surface of the shield while at the same time directing hot breath down & away from the inside surface of the shield. Comfort: Dirt removal The elongated & rounded peak helps protect the rider from mud or other objects. The flow-through vent ducts & removable rear vent cowls also allow you to remove dirt easily. Approval: ECE 22-05 The most common helmet certification internationally, required by over 50 countries worldwide. Five times inspected Each Arai helmet goes through five separate quality-control departments: after the shell is made, after painting & graphic completion, after assembly & two in-process inspections. Washable interior The premium quality interior of any Arai helmet can be easily cleaned, in place, with mild soap & lukewarm water. Handmade It can take up to five years for our experts to earn the right to create an Arai shell. Each shell can take up to 27 steps & to build one Arai helmet will take about 18 man-hours. All-day comfort All-day comfort with the Arai interior fit & shape together with the finest liner materials & the extensive ventilation system. & thanks to the perfect balance & weight distribution of the helmet, you hardly notice you are wearing an Arai. Double-D ring device The flat & D-shaped rings fit smooth against the chin. No moving parts, no corrosion problems & just pulling the tab is enough to loosen the fastener. Smooth shape, better protection The smooth outer shell of Arai helmets is designed to glide without unnecessary resistance. You don’t want to decelerate your helmet more than necessary. That’s why all Arai vents & ducts are designed to break off during an impact. Hard outer shell, soft inner shell Arai uses a very hard outer shell to spread impact forces & a soft inner shell to absorb remaining energy. The multiple-density EPS inner shell is made using a unique technology of combining three to five densities in various areas as a single component. Organic shape The organic shape of an Arai outer shell offers a more natural appearance, seals better & conforms more to the head’s natural shape for enhanced comfort, fit & to help minimize wind turbulence. 5-year limited warranty All Arai helmets are warranted against defects in materials & workmanship, & are serviceable only for the properly fitted first user for 5 years from date of first use, but no more than 7 years from date of manufacture. Different outer shells Unlike many other manufacturers Arai provides one size outer shell for each two-helmet sizes for most models. Together with different shaped outer shells for different models it is almost impossible not to find the fit you are looking for. Arai In-house test This Arai helmet is designed to meet the stringent Arai In-house standard requirements, in addition to mandatory standards such as ECE 22-05 & voluntary standards such as SNELL M2010. Note Please note that as long as nothing else is written in the article description, all helmets that have a visor as standard will be delivered with a clear one, even if it is shown differently.
