ARAI HELMETS PROFILE STREET HELMET BUELL TRIPLE TAIL GEL PAD $497.95-$611.95 P.O. Box 94B5 DAYTONA. FL 321 20-94B5 $69.95 610/91 7-9010 MILWAUKEE. WI 5320B 3700 WEST .JUNEAU AVENUE Hard Headed Arai Helmets will no WWW.ARA.AMERICAS.COM longer be offering the Signet helmet model, and will be replacing it with its new Profile helmet. While the Profile features a new design and look, Arai Helmets says that the reason for this is strictly for performance, and not for looks. Arai says the new Hyper-Ridge reinforcement band along the bottom of the outer shell provides added strength, and that the new design is also more aerodynamic, giving a better fit and a calmer feel in the wind. The Profile features a new recessed TDF-2 front intake duct that's wider and flatter than the Signet with larger intake holes, and the new DDL-3 rear exhaust duct more efficiently draws out hot air and moisture from the inside. Made out of SCLC (Super Complex Laminated Construction), the helmet is very lightweight, yet still retains energy-absorbing strength and flexibility upon impact. The liner is still the same Arai single-piece, multiple-density-hybrid EPS foam liner, and is fully removable and washable. Shield removal is handled by the latest-generation of Arai's LRS tool-less shield removal system.
