So I keep it no secret what motorcycle helmets that I like. If you look at the right side of this page you will see that I like Shoei and Arai. Today I was checking out a few of the paint jobs and I happened to come across the Arai Corsair V RC Race Carbon Motorcycle Helmet.
The thing that blew me away was not the look but the price. I found it anywhere from $3,500 to $3,999. So um yeah I had to see if that also came with a snazzy weekend in Vegas, it does not. I will admit the Arai Corsair V RC race carbon helmet does look awesome but the price hurts a ton.
Would you spend $3,500+ on the Arai Corsair V RC Race Carbon Motorcycle Helmet. I cannot justify it to my wife or to the bank. If I was rich and had money to burn then I would and I would not even blink an eye.
Do any of you own this helmet? Is it light? What do you like about it?
The best helmet on the market now available in Carbon Fiber!All Corsair V RC helmets take 22 man hours to produce and are a “Special Order” item. This helmet will take 3-4 weeks to ship.Each outer shell consists of no less than eleven carefully applied carbon fiber layers. The technology of the new Corsair V RC is based on that of the GP-6 RC car-racing helmet, which was specially developed for Formula 1 use. It consists of an extremely stiff and light carbon fibre outer shell, reinforced with the “Peripherally Belted” construction. A mixture of aircraft quality premium carbon fiber with Arai’s own resin and Zylon reinforcement proved to be the perfect mixture for the outer shell. It takes a skilled Arai craftsman a full working day just to make one outer shellFeatures:
