Thumbs down Special ?? Arai helmet on Ebay ??
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

Question story so far:
I asked:
Nearly New Arai Motorbike Helmet Small (4649644374)
This message was sent while the listing was active.
gcas69 is a potential buyer.
your info about the Arai being dropped and stuff turning white if
it has been is not true.
it is also not top of the range, the Corsair is
these were £399 not £499
its an Astro
hope this is of some help
