PRO GuIDe extRa “It’s packed with modern technical features that enhance comfort and protection, like (hidden) interior ventilation and a rounded outer shell silhouette. The Urban-V is constructed from Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction2 (PB-cLc2) with F1 technology, hiding a high-tech, one-piece multi-density EPS inner liner. “The classic, rounder shape features timeless good looks and is also close to our philosophy that a stronger, smoother and rounder shape improves glancing-off performance while absorbing and spreading impact forces. “Our proprietary (super fibre belt) Peripheral Belt, borrowed from the technology we put into our F1 helmets, helps increase shell strength and flexibility while maintaining low weight and a lower centre of gravity, aiding comfort on longer rides. Positioned across the top of the eye port, this band contributes to the use of a thinner EPS liner, which helps enhance the upward field of vision. “A specially designed organic felt, sandwiched between the inner and outer layers of our proprietary Super Fibre Laminates, is used to reinforce and bond these two Super Fibre layers without adding significant weight”. “Key to our philosophy of helmet construction is the use of a stronger outer shell allied to a softer interior liner that helps absorb and dissipate energy, acting much like the crumple zones built into a car. The Urban- V has both, and uses a high-tech, one-piece multi-density EPS liner with multi-stage venting channel in support of its PB-cLc2 shell”. Profile-V The Profile-V is a brand-new helmet from Arai. It has been designed for easier access on and off by widening the bottom opening at the front and sides, still offering the snug fit and the proven round shape unique to Arai, using the round and strong PB-e-cLc outer shell for impact “glance-off” and to spread impact forces while maintaining integrity - working with a softer, one-piece multi-density EPS inner liner to absorb and dissipate energy. Incorporating the Arai Variable Axis System (VAS), a Hyper Ridge band reinforces the lower shell and a 5 mm flare around the base makes the Profile-V easier to get on and off. The VAS-V MAX Vision visor is Pinlock ready, and the optional Pro Shade System (PSS) can be fitted. Additional features include full ventilation front and rear and a semi-removable interior featuring the Facial Contour System (FCS) of Arai’s range-topping helmets for a “super comfortable fit and ear pockets for speakers”.
