HIDDEN ARAI BENEFITS
PB SCLC stands for Peripheral Belt Super Complex
Laminate Construction. Arai's Signet-X and Quantum-X
helmets utilize Arai's PB SCLC shells to create a stronger
yet lighter helmet. These unique shells are constructed
using various materials that are designed, cut and placed
in exact positions, and then layered and bonded to
maximize strength and minimize weight. The shell uses
a peripheral belt, woven in-house with 9-micron fi ber
fi laments, for extra reinforcement along key areas like
the temple. As a result, Arai
created proprietary resins
to hold all of these together
to produce such a great helmet.
So, why create PB SCLC and
proprietary resins? Because
Arai's standards are set by
their commitment to the
consistent pursuit of gains
in protection, solely for your benefi t! In order to create
a shell that meets the unique demands of motorcycling,
Arai fi rst developed proprietary Super Fibers, which cost
6 times more but have 30% higher tensile strength than
standard fi berglass. To maximize the true value of these
fi bers, Arai had to create new resins that could bond
them together more fi rmly and completely. These spe-
cifi c resins Arai mixes in-house allow the helmet to have
a maximum fi ber to minimum resin ratio to produce a
stronger, lighter, and more compact helmet.
These extra e orts o er more than just what is expected.
Arai demands more, and so should you!
Creator of the fi rst motorcycle helmet in Japan, Arai
has handcrafted helmets for more than 60 years. During
that time, the singular goal of the Arai family has been
to provide consistently improving levels of protection in
every helmet they produce.
