Arai Motocross Helmet

The MX-V evolved from the legendary VX-3 and years of Arai’s competition experience can be found in its ultimate MX, Enduro and off-road use helmet. And, while fashions in helmet appearance come and go quickly, the MX-V’s organic R75 shell design exists for the same reasons it is in all Arai helmets: to create a smooth, round shell shape that maintains its integral strength.

The absence of exaggerated edges or protrusions is not a lack of imagination or creativity on Arai’s part. It’s because the shape of the helmet works to improve protection. It’s also the reason that the MX-V is the latest Arai to receive ECE R22-06 approval without significant changes.

Priority for Protection: Arai’s core design philosophy of producing rounder, stronger and smoother outer shells to improve ‘Glancing Off’ performance is key in this attainment, as is the rigorous in-house criteria process that all Arai helmets must satisfy.

As with each and every Arai, it’s the sum of the details coming together to produce an even greater result than their sum that makes the MX-V EVO the benchmark it is.

It starts with a strong outer shell: the PB-CLC2 outer shell is manufactured using a special Z-compound resins, and balanced by a lightweight inner liner for reduced overall weight.

Riding hard in the dirt, ventilation really matters, and the MX-V’s front and rear vents work together to pull cool air through the helmet. The peak too channels airflow in with a design that also reduces lifting. The interior is also fully removable, easy to wash, and adjustable.

The MX-V EVO is Arai’s ultimate off-road helmet.

Sizing

To determine which helmet size fits you best, measure the widest circumference of your head using a flexible measuring tape or piece of string; approximately 2cm above your eyebrows and ears as illustrated below. If your head measurement falls between two sizes, it is generally recommended to select the smaller of the two.

For maximum safety and comfort, take note of the following points when fitting the helmet (and securely fastening the chin strap):

• Helmet may take some effort to slide over your head, but should not be overly difficult
• Should fit snuggly around the crown of your head without creating uncomfortable pressure points
• The top padding presses on the top of your head
• The cheek pads press against your cheeks, so that your teeth touch the inside of your cheeks when opening / closing your mouth
• There should be no space to slide two fingers between the helmet and your temple
• Hold the helmet on either side and without moving your head, try to move the helmet up and down, and side to side. It should not be easy to move and you should feel the skin of your head and face being pulled
• Your eyes should be located in the center of the helmet's viewpoint
