The 1980s. Naked motorcycles. An attitude that made you feel different
from everybody else. Introducing the Concept-XE. Recalling the simple
yet aggressive style of that era, this helmet came from the heart of
Arai R&D. They loved the looks, but that was about it. Now, the Arai
techs want old-school cool, to fit their style and motorcycle, but they
want cool with modern Arai performance.
Concept-XE’s brute simplicity is the product of imagination, but make no
mistake, while the retro style may grab attention it had to pass Arai’s
stringent in-house testing. So underneath the aggressive look you’ll
find a strong, lightweight PB e-cLc shell, with a smooth and round
shape, reinforced with Arai’s proprietary peripheral belt, to slide
across surfaces and glance-off obstacles. The VAS-VC shield system, with
its retro mechanical look, further enhances glancing off performance by
lowering the visor pivot point to maximize a smooth upper shell.
Although a nod to the past, the Concept-XE is very much a helmet of the
present. Ready for a generation of modern riders that demand a new, old
style – but with the performance and comfort only an Arai can provide.
