This helmet, which recalls the simple but aggressive style of that period, was born from the heart of Arai's R&D department. The technicians liked the look, but only that. Now, they want to keep the old gritty look that matches their style and bike perfectly, but they want to add modern Arai performance. The wild simplicity of the Concept-XE is only appearance, don't be fooled, even if the vintage style might distract you, the helmet had to pass the stringent internal tests of Arai. Beneath the aggressive look, then, you'll find a strong, lightweight PB e-cLc shell, with a smooth, rounded shape, reinforced with Arai's patented peripheral band, to glide across surfaces and bounce off obstacles. The VAS-VC visor system, with its retro mechanical look, further improves the ability to slide by lowering the visor pins to maximize the uniformity of the shape of the upper shell. Despite the concession to the past, the Concept-XE is in many ways a helmet of the present. Ready for a generation of modern riders who want “old style new” but with the performance and comfort that only Arai can deliver.
