II ARAI DEFIANT-X HELMET
$659.95-$809.95 I 610.366.7220
www.AraiAmericas.com
Arai's new Defiant-X helmet is made with
a PB-cLc (Peripherally Belted, complex
Laminate construction) shell, which uses
technology developed in Formula One. To
make the PB-cLc shell, materials are layered
with proprietary adhesives and a Super
Fiber Belt is added to strengthen the shell,
like the bands of a barrel. Air channels
originally designed for the Corsair-X were
borrowed and updated, and then connected
to new exhaust ports on the chinbar. The
helmet meets or exceeds DOT and Snell
certifications.

system, the exhaust is tuned for
the Beemer's 310cc single-cylinder
performance needs. Installing the
system adds a claimed 4.9 percent
max horsepower and 5.6 percent
max torque, while dropping over half
the weight of the stock system.
