Our mission has always been the protection and comfort of riders. Every Arai helmet is meticulouly handmade, by craftmen & women who are active participants in the creation of every Arai helmet they touch, not just workers assembling another thing to fill a quota. We don't build them to exceed our strict internal criteria first.
The foundation principle of protection have never been forgotten in six decades of helmet design and manufacturing.
