SHELL- Peripheral Belting (New) - This
belt, devised by Arai for its most-recent generation of Formula-1
helmets, extends across the forehead area of the shell above the eye
opening. It further enhances the Corsair-V's structural integrity while
still maintaining flexibility, low weight, and shell size. Like its
predecessor, the new Corsair-V has Arai's most-advanced SNC (Structural
Net Composite) shell construction.
- Wider Eyeport (New) - Here
is a real-world example of Arai's philosophy of interrelated parts
(mentioned above). The forehead-shell strengthening of the Peripheral
Belt has allowed Arai to introduce a new 10mm-wider eyeport opening
(5mm at each side) on the new Corsair-V, thereby further enhancing the
rider's peripheral vision. The fact that this new feature will be most
beneficial to racers, the eyeport also underscores the fact that Arai
is, at heart, still a "racing" company whose advancements aid all
riders.
- Series "I" Faceshield (New) - The
new wider eyeport required a new, wider faceshield. Called the Series
"I" faceshield, it is exclusive to the Corsair-V. The new shield fits
even more flush against the shell than the previous Corsair's. So
flush, in fact, that Arai says "It almost looks like a continuation of
the shell" and requires two small sliders just in front of the
side-pods to keep the shield from contacting the helmet's upper shell
when raised.
- AirWing® (New, Patented) - Arai's
exclusive, adjustable new AirWing® is designed to greatly reduce drag,
turbulence and buffeting. It provides the rider with unprecedented
aerodynamic performance options via five distinct, easily
hand-adjustable "attack angles":
- At race speeds, or a full-tuck position, run the AirWing® in a lower position;
- Riding Sport or Standard-style bikes, run the AirWing® in one of the middle positions;
- In an upright riding position, it works best at one of the upper angles.
- Outward-Flaring Hyper-Ridge (New design) - The
biggest difference between the newest generation of Arai's Hyper-Ridge
feature and its predecessors sticks right out at you: Whereas the
previous ridge curved in, this one flares out. This results in a larger
opening at the helmet's bottom, making the helmet easier to get on and
off. The company hopes this new outward flare will aid more riders in
choosing the right-size helmet because it's easier to get on than
inward-curving shell bottoms." The Hyper-Ridge reinforcement band
circles the bottom of the shell, adding shell strength. This added
strength at the bottom of the shell is also said to help in
"significantly lowering the helmet's center of gravity," contributing
to a better overall balance and making the helmet rest easier on the
rider's head.
- Arai's Compact Organic Shell Shape (Retained feature) - The new Corsair-V's shell shape is even more compact and aerodynamic than the Corsair's.
VENTILATION - DF-10 Diffuser (New)- The
new generation of Arai diffuser has enhanced air inlets to increase
airflow efficiency even better than the original Corsair. It also adds
a new second air-intake slot in the middle of the diffuser body to
create a higher venturi effect and further increase the venting of
stale air faster.
- New larger upper vent toggles
make operating the vents, even with thick gloves, easier than before.
Additionally, the center Top Vent has been re-sculpted to provide more
air intake; it too has a larger easier-to-operate toggle.
- Side-Vent Exhaust Ports (New design) - These
newly-designed vent cowls exhaust heat more efficiently. And because of
the way they are now "sculpted" into the new rearshell shape, they have
also been shown in Arai's extensive testing to work in concert with the
AirWing® to greatly add lateral stability at speed. (Arai test riders
have reported this benefit is most noticeable on the track when popping
back up into the airflow under braking.)
- New Brow-Vent Channeling (Modified design) - Arai's
distinctive faceshield Brow Vents now send incoming air to the temple
instead of to the face. The new channeling directs air to the ear area
missed by many helmet ventilation systems. The airflow over the temple
artery reportedly also helps cool the blood flow to the brain area.
INTERIOR- Emergency Cheekpad Release System (New) - In
answer to the literally thousands of rider inquiries asking whether
this groundbreaking Arai safety innovation introduced in Arai's VX-Pro3
dirt helmet would ever been incorporated into a street helmet, the
answer is now "Yes." Arai's Emergency-Release Cheek Pad System was
specifically developed to allow easier access to an injured rider. The
cheekpads are designed to slide out easily with the use of integrated
pull-tabs, which makes removing the helmet much easier for trained
medical technicians. This feature also underscores what Arai thinks is
a meaningful "advancement" in helmet design. As Mr. Arai said, "We are
in the helmet business, not the fashion business."
- Removable/Replaceable Vented Neckroll (New) - The
Corsair-V's neckroll is now removable and replaceable, and adds an
additional exhaust vent through its bottom via shallow channels in the
EPS liner, adding yet another ventilation outlet for the removal of
interior air.
- Latest-Generation Dry-Cool® Liner (New design) - Distinguished
by its silver-grey color, Arai's Dry-Cool® liner has repositioned the
rear mounting-snaps closer to the liner bottom for amore secure fit,
making it exclusive to the Corsair-V.
