A Comfortable and Secure Fit Born from the Racetrack Increasing the rider's concentration and reducing distraction is where Arai aims to help riders' improve their times on the track. Despite Arai's best efforts, no helmet can protect against all possible impacts. Acknowledging this harsh reality is tough. But this reality motivates Arai to always pursue advancements, even if small, to improve rider protection. And so, from this pursuit, when we find something that can contribute to increased rider protection, we integrate it with the accumulation of our many past improvements further strengthening the protection ability of our helmets. That is Arai. The technology cultivated in racing was put directly into our retail helmets. For Arai, the racetrack too is a place for R&D. The incredible fi t of an Arai is recog- nized even in F1. In long endurance racing and severe conditions, a com- fortable fi t that does not break the driver's concentration is highly sought after. Interior technology: Arai's Facial Contour System giving support along the rider's jaw. This allowed Arai to realize a fi t that would not shift or move in high-speed use while also being relaxed and com- fortable. Beginning in the 1970s, Arai established a goal of making helmets that would be second to none when it came to protecting the rider's head. Through continuous improvements to the head protection of each helmet, Arai fi nally could create a product that would let riders continue to have a high level of confi dence in it. Putting these new helmets into practice, Arai started to enter the competitive world of racing, and received the recognition of riders around the world. Top racers in Japan and from overseas began recommending Arai helmets after using them. S C A N T O S E E T H E VA L U E O F A R A I V I D E O S C A N F O R W E B S I T E
