It’s not the Standard:
It’s the helmet that protects you,
not the standard!
Meeting the same standard does not necessarily mean that all helmets within the group perform in the same manner or to the same level. Of course an Arai helmet meets the mandatory standard of the market where it is sold. But these standards are Arai’s baseline, not their goal. It is the individual helmet that works to protect you in the real world, not the standard.
Arai’s standards are more demanding than the mandatory ones. We believe that the Arai in-house test standards represents a very tough helmet test, having multiple impact tests, random impact areas instead of pre-defined impact points, and higher impact velocities. It is based decades of experience and investigation of crashed helmets both on the track and on the public road. All their considerable knowledge in helmet technology is used to define the Arai “in-house” standard.
