is this a "special" new type of Arai ???

from description:
"There are a few marks on it from storage but it has never been dropped. I can prove this because it is a top of the range arai helmet, they have a system in them, where if you are in a crash or the helmet takes impact through being dropped or whatever, then all the inside of the helmet goes white, Mine hasnt done that"

????????????????????????????????????????????????

That's the biggest load of b/s i've ever heard.I had an off wearing an Arai VX pro motocross/enduro helmet which ended up with a 3/4mm crack that you could only just see on the back of the helmet.They bought it off me to use as a demo for dealers to show them what to look for,and when it needs replacing.By white stuff does he mean polystyrene?

Top of the range "No Chance" Looks like a Viper GT or a Astro Race, & it`s last years model to boot, as it is not in the Arai catalogue or on the Phoenix distribution web site, but i could be wrong, if it is they retail for £399, only the RX7 Corsir costs £499, & that is this one

Well,its half true,the inner shell has a coating on,when a impact has been sustained,the black coating,does turn white,a bit like paint flaking off etc,but,all Arais have that,as far as i'm aware,i'll ask my mate,he works for them !
