MX-V EVO

• Arai’s ultimate off-road helmet gains ECE R22-06 approval
• No significant changes required thanks to Arai’s Priority for Protection: the core design philosophy of creating rounder, smoother and stronger outer shells combined with a one-piece multi-density EPS liner that work together to improve ‘Glancing Off’ performance.

The MX-V evolved from the legendary VX-3 and years of Arai’s competition experience can be found in its ultimate MX, Enduro and off-road use helmet. And, while fashions in helmet appearance come and go quickly, the MX-V’s organic R75 shell design exists for the same reasons it is in all Arai helmets: to create a smooth, round shell shape that maintains its integral strength.

The absence of exaggerated edges or protrusions is not a lack of imagination or creativity on Arai’s part. It’s because the shape of the helmet works to improve protection. It’s also the reason that the MX-V is the latest Arai to receive ECE R22-06 approval without significant changes.

Priority for Protection: Arai’s core design philosophy of producing rounder, stronger and smoother outer shells to improve ‘Glancing Off’ performance is key in this attainment, as is the rigorous in-house criteria process that all Arai helmets must satisfy.

As with each and every Arai, it’s the sum of the details coming together to produce an even greater result than their sum that makes the MX-V EVO the benchmark it is.

It starts with a strong outer shell: the PB-CLC2 outer shell is manufactured using a special Z-compound resins, and balanced by a lightweight inner liner for reduced overall weight.

Riding hard in the dirt, ventilation really matters, and the MX-V’s front and rear vents work together to pull cool air through the helmet. The peak too channels airflow in with a design that also reduces lifting. The interior is also fully removable, easy to wash, and adjustable.

The MX-V EVO is Arai’s ultimate off-road helmet.

MX-V EVO Features

General

Outher Shell: PB-CLC2

Arai’s Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction greatly increases shell strength and flexibility while maintaining low weight and a lower centre of gravity. Positioned across the top of the eye port, this band contributes to the use of a thinner EPS liner which greatly enhances the upward field of view. A specially designed “mechanically expanded fibre mat”, sandwiched between the inner and outer layers of Arai’s proprietary Super Fibre Laminates, is used to reinforce and bond these two Super Fibre layers without adding significant weight to the helmet. The latest “Z-Mixture” resins increases material adhesion requiring less resin for a stronger bond between materials for a thinner and lighter shell.

Innovative peak

The MX-V EVO’s peak forces air into the forehead vent ports for cooling while at the same time using multiple relief-ports to reduce helmet lifting at higher speeds.

Ventilation

MX-V EVO Ventilation

Easy to clean diffusers create a strong venturi vacuum at the rear with a centre top vent for increased airflow. Under-peak air intakes collect and direct cool air into the helmet. An inner chin vent shutter prevents debris coming into the helmet in dusty riding conditions. Lower side vents also help with hot air extraction for a cooler ride.

Front ventilation

Center Top Vent - intake

Intake and exhaust duct on the front part of the helmet. The inlet allows generous amounts of cool, fresh air to enter the helmet, while the exhaust function of the front duct helps to quickly dispose hot, warm air from the helmet’s interior.

Inner chin (bar) vent shutter

Open and close the chin bar vents from the inside to prevent debris coming into the helmet in dusty riding conditions.

Mouth Vent

Mounted from the outside to further improve penetration resistance. The one-piece, stain-less steel mesh screen provides a durable barrier against roost while minimizing mud packing. The removable screen is easy

to clean.

Rear ventilation

Removable three-piece rear exhaust

Creates a tremendous amount of venturi vacuum at the rear. Can be easily removed (for cleaning) or replacement.

Side exhausts

Produce low pressure behind the rear vent for better hot air extraction. Integrated in the shell for better aerodynamics, reduce wind noise and prevent buffeting at speed. Inside, a small foam dam helps to absorb and diminish excessive noise, without reducing ventilation performance.

Replaceable Cheek pads/Ear cups

Cheek pads/ear cups may be easily removed. All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with lukewarm water and mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning, blot dry with a towel and let air dry completely before reassembly. Never machine wash or use heat to dry. Interior parts in different size thickness are available for a custom fit for every rider.

• Remove by taking the frontside out first
• Place back by inserting the backside first

Replaceable Interior

The complete interior may be easily removed. All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with lukewarm water and mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning and never dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Interior parts in different size thickness are available for a custom fit for every rider.

Replaceable Chinstrap covers

All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with lukewarm water and mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning and never dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Interior parts in different size thickness are available for a custom fit for every rider.

Replaceable Neckroll

All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with lukewarm water and mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning and never dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Interior parts in different size thickness are available for a custom fit for every rider.

Facial Contour System (FCS)

To offer an even better snug fit and enhancing the comfort to the lower jaw, the Facial Contour System (FCS) works with a foam spring support in the cheek pad that compresses and rebounds, providing the necessary support without excessive pressure.

5mm ’’Peel Away’’ Ear cups/Cheek pads

Giving even more ability to craft the perfect fit and comfort, the cheek pads feature a 5 mm peel away layer for added room if needed.

5mm ’’Peel Away’’ Temple pad

Arai´s peel-away temple crown pads give the option of 5 mm more interior width if needed.

Speaker pockets

Build in communication systems are popular, but the problem is often that the room for a speaker is limited or just not present, causing unpleasant pressure points. The speaker pockets, offering room for mounting speakers without effecting comfort or fit. (Speaker not included).

Comfort

Emergency Release System (ERS)

Allows easier access to an injured rider. By pulling the orange tabs integrated in the pads, the cheek pads slide out. Making helmet removal easier for trained medical personnel and rescuers. Minimising the risk of additional injury.

Breath guard

Works in conjunction with the dual-pivot® chin vent to better direct fresh air to the inside surface of the shield while at the same time directing hot breath down and away from the inside surface of the shield.

Goggle band guidance

The eye-opening side trim design combined with the side and rear exhaust vents work to prevent the band from slipping up or down even during hard riding.

Arai Features

5-year limited warranty

All Arai helmets are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship, and are serviceable only for the properly fitted first user for 5 years from date of first use, but no more than 7 years from date of manufacture.

All-day comfort

All-day comfort with the Arai interior fit and shape together with the finest liner materials and the extensive ventilation system. And thanks to the perfect balance and weight distribution of the helmet, you hardly notice you are wearing an Arai.

Different outer shells

Unlike many other manufacturers Arai provides one size outer shell for each two-helmet sizes for most models. Together with different shaped outer shells for different models it is almost impossible not to find the fit you are looking for.

Arai In-house Criteria

Arai helmets are designed to meet the stringent Arai In-house criteria, in addition to the mandatory ECE standard.

Double-D ring device

The flat and D-shaped rings fit smooth against the chin. No moving parts, no corrosion problems and just pulling the tab is enough to loosen the fastener.

Five times inspected

Each Arai helmet goes through five separate quality-control depart­ments: after the shell is made, after painting and graphic completion, after assembly and two in-process inspections.

Glancing Off

To minimize impact energy getting into the helmet, it’s crucial that a helmet can slide over a surface. Arai believes that a Strong, Round & Smooth shell helps to increase a helmets ability to protect the rider during an impact. Shells with sharp edges or vent ducts that don’t break off can reduce the helmet’s ability to slide, sending energy into the helmet, or even enhance rotational energy.

Handmade

It can take up to five years for our experts to earn the right to create an Arai shell. Each shell can take up to 27 steps and to build one Arai helmet will take about 18 man-hours.

Organic shape

The organic shape of an Arai outer shell offers a more natural appearance, seals better and conforms more to the head’s natural shape for improved comfort, fit and to help minimize wind turbulence.

Penetration tested

All Arai helmets are penetration tested, although not required by European helmet standards. The Arai penetration test is performed with a 3kg test cone that strikes from a height of 3m on the helmet.

Smooth shape, better protection

The smooth outer shell of Arai helmets is designed to glide without unnecessary resistance. You don’t want to decelerate your helmet more than necessary. That’s why all Arai vents and ducts are designed to break off during an impact.

Strong outer shell, soft inner shell

Arai uses a very strong outer shell to spread impact forces and a soft inner shell to absorb remaining energy. The multiple-density EPS inner shell is made using a unique technology of combining three to five densities in various areas as a single component.

Washable interior

The premium quality interior of any Arai helmet can be easily cleaned, in place, with mild soap and lukewarm water.

Approval

ECE R22-06

ECE R22-06 requires a much more stringent testing process than the previous ECE R22-05 and includes an oblique test to measure rotation.
