The Corsair-X Van Der Mark helmet features an intermediate oval head shape. The anti-bacterial liner is removable and the cheekpads have emergency-release tabs. The Corsair-X’s shell is rounder and smoother than previous iterations for improved glancing off of objects in the event of a crash. The Van Der Mark-replica includes a clear anti-fog Pinlock insert for all-weather visibility.
Price: $979.95
The yellow Scoop graphics on Arai’s VX-Pro4 are new for 2021. The VX-Pro4 evolved from Arai’s popular VX-Pro3 and it is aimed at MX, enduro and off-road riders. It has a removable stainless mesh grill mounted on the outside for easy cleaning. The VX-Pro4 features a new peak design, an updated chinbar-vent system, a goggle-strap locator and a removable neck roll.
Price: $739.95
The Corsair-X CBR helmet features officially licensed Honda graphics that match the paint of the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade. The Corsair-X features Arai’s SAI shield, which has an updated mechanism for smoother opening and closing. A dual-function lever releases both the side cover and shield pin for easier shield removal. The comfort liner includes peel-away ear pockets for adding speakers.
Price: $1019.95
The XD-4 is Arai’s sport-touring/adventure/dual-purpose helmet. The peak is removable for better aerodynamics on the street and the faceshield can be removed for wearing goggles when off-road riding. The XD-4 faceshield has built-in brow vents for more airflow to the temples, and the inner liner has Arai’s exclusive peel-away temple and crown pads to customize the fit and snugness.
Price: $739.95
The off-road VX-Pro4 helmet (pictured in Combat graphics) has a round and smooth shell that is less likely to catch and dig in during a spill. The innovative rear air duct functions as a goggle-strap keeper. The updated peak is larger to deflect more roost and, to compensate for increased lift, the peak’s air outlets are larger as well.
