Product Summary

•Color : Pedrosa “Samurai”
•Standard: SNELL/JIS
•Shell: PB-SNC2 (Periferari-Belted and Structural Net Composite Square)
•Liner: High fitting adjustable FCS liner (Antibacterial, Deodorant liner/Adjustable by option/Patent)

Features

•PB-SNC2 Shell
Super Fibre and other special synthetic fibres, with superb tensile strength and flexibility characteristics, developed for F-1 helmet visor panel, assembled and bonded by Arai experts, reinforcing across the forehead area (imagine the steel belts used to hold a barrel together) with a variety of carefully stacked and moulded materials. Newly developed resin creates stronger bonds between shell materials with less weight.

•Diffuser Type12
New Type 12 diffusers are 20mm longer and straightened for improved aerodynamics, working together with the Air Wing to improve stability.
Compared to the previous Type 10 diffusers, the efficiency of the intake scoops of the new Type 12 diffusers has increased by 19%. The new air intake vents not only have more adjustability with three positions; closed, half open and fully open but also help to improve sealing that decreases wind noise and water intrusion.

•IC Duct 5
The new IC Duct 5 provides 11% more airflow than the previous Delta Duct 5. The new bigger switch makes opening and closing easier. The new IC Duct 5 has three positions; closed, half open and fully open to adjust the airflow and prevent water intrusion when fully closed.

•VAS-V MV Shield
The RX-7V has the new Variable Axis System (VAS) incorporating a moving pivot point. By combining the pin trajectory, which is based on an imaginary axis, with the two trajectories of the double pivot point slot, the shield opens and closes smoothly; even with the much lower shield mount position. A dual-function lever releases both the side cover/pad and shield pin for quick and simple shield removal.

•Air channel venting system
Enchanced air exhaust from the eye port area, pulled through dedicated air channel. To side cowl-6, improving efficiency and reducing noise.

•Chin cover (removable)
Attached to the bottom of the helmet, the new chin curtain helps to further accentuate the Egg-shape form. The Curtain simultaneously blocks air intrusion from turbulent air blow and increases negative pressure to enhance the exhaust function of FFS by drawing more air from the mouth area. The improved airflow reduces noise even further.

•RX-7X Eco Pure Liner
The fully removable interior liner system has been improved with new Eco Pure material, which helps maintain neutral acidity levels close to antifouling, deodorant and antibacterial consumption.
It was redesigned the interior material frame, hold the entire head deeply and enables fine adjustment such as the position and thickness.

•A full support liner with excellent comfort
FCS Cheek pad with ear pocket recess for speakers and 5mm peel away layer for added room if needed. Larger space in mouth area for more open feeling. Smaller NE nozzle without reduced exhaust efficiency. New emergency release tab positioned at the end of the release strap for easier access by rescue staff. Improved comfort performance with better fitting while being easier to put on and off.
