SHELL SHAPE
The shell itself is consistently round and smooth, maintaining the R75 Shape
concept in areas above the acknowledged test line, and influencing those
below the test line. Here, the rounded chin bar maintains the same compact
shell length with the previous model, the VX-PRO3. The result is less protrusion,
which has proven to be less likely to catch and dig-in during a spill.
SHELL MATERIAL
In order to maximize performance, we precisely assemble the shell from
multiple proprietary components. Super Fiber, one of the primary materials,
costs up to six times more than standard fiberglass, but provides 30% higher
tensile strength and increased penetration resistance. The cLc (complex
Laminate construction) method demands precise and time-consuming
assembly by master craftsmen from many individual pieces. Even though the
bare shell is not visible after paint and final assembly, each one exemplifies
the experience and the dedication of the entire Arai family
CHIN-BAR VENT GRILL
Installed on the uniquely rounded chin-bar, the stainless mesh grill is now mounted from the outside under the exterior vent cap, and can be easily removed for cleaning or damage replacement. The vent cap is also designed to break away from the chin bar in the event of impact
REAR DUCT
The Air-Through top rear duct center brace also functions as a goggle strap locator. The diffusers can be removed or replaced quickly and easily by removing a single screw on the rear duct center brace.
