Arai Rapide helmet in frost black

The Arai Rapide has now been replaced by the Arai Concept-XE

The Arai Rapide helmet looks like an Arai of old, but it is a totally modern and up to date helmet that shares many of the features to be found on any modern Arai. It is exactly what many motorcyclists have been searching for. In recent years there has been a huge growth in what one might term retro motorcycles, but before the Arai all the helmets that were designed to be worn on these bikes were deficient in one way or another. The Rapide is a safe helmet. It is comfortable, quiet, well vented and comes with a Pinlock 120, yet it has the kind of totally smooth round shell that all motorcycle helmets had back in the seventies and eighties. In design terms, the helmet is a mix between a classic helmet and the kind of helmet that would also look right on something like a street fighter. But despite the way it looks, the Arai Rapide is totally twenty first century. It’s the kind of helmet that you can wear on the bike without any sense of compromise.
