MAGENTA 95 PART NUMBERS ARE NEW FOR 2026 _TRENDS SUMMER 2026 HELMETS& ACCESSORIES Even the best "glancing off" ability alone won’t protect the rider’s head. "Impact absorption ability’ is necessary to pass even the strictest helmet standard in the world. In the impact absorption ability test, the shell surface deforms when it receives an impact with the helmet hitting obstacles of certain angles and shapes. If the impact surface is narrow, concentrating the impact energy, the EPS liner must naturally be thicker. However, while that makes it easier to pass helmet standards, making the EPS liner thicker only in the necessary places ends up distorting the helmet shape away from "round and smooth". It doesn’t maintain a form ideal for making the most of "glancing off". Arai’s proprietary 1-piece multi-density EPS liner has finely-tuned sections with various densities. It can make the most of its "glancing off" ability because the EPS density varies according to the corresponding shell surface, allowing the shell to remain "round and smooth". This 1-piece multi-density liner is indispensable for improved results in Arai’s strength of the shell shape pursuing "glancing off" performance. Shell strength is very important for enhancing "glancing off". In an actual crash, if the shell deforms or is completely destroyed it can no longer slide and will stop and catch on that point. A helmet that can’t slide can’t maintain its "glancing off" ability and that impact energy can reach the rider’s head. Since we’ve decided on being the number one helmet in the world for protection, we’ve pursued shell strength as well as weight reduction by accumulating improvements that embody the lifeblood of Arai. This evolved into the development of the cLc shell process (complex laminate construction) which encompasses both strength and lightness. Although the cost of the material utilized is 6 times higher than conventional fiberglass, Arai exploits its use for a stronger and lighter helmet. To resist cracks from spreading to the helmet’s edge, the critical edges of the shell have a Super Fiber Belt which reinforces these areas like the bands of a barrel. The resin blend as well is evolved through our obsession with strength and weight reduction as we continue to accumulate various improvements. FOR MANY YEARS WE’VE SEEN OUR LINER’S PERFORMANCE TESTED CONTINUALLY SEEKING THE STRONGEST MATERIALS AND BEST TECHNIQUES AT THE FOREFRONT OF TECHNOLOGY Between the high strength fibers, special lightweight elastic fibers are sandwiched between, which is the Complex Laminate Construction (cLc). It offers a 20% weight reduction compared to making it with just all the same fiber. The Peripheral Belt made of Super Fiber reinforces the helmet like the bands of a barrel for better protection. This special belt resists the spreading of cracks that form when the helmet receives a large impact and improves glancing off ability. The head form shape used in helmet testing is somewhat square, so the "four corners" get tight inside the helmet, and we can see a tendency to make the shell square too. Arai’s proprietary 1PMDL (one piece multidensity liner) is the only one of its kind in the world and offers incredible protection by being fine-tuned to each shell size, in each model and in each head size, with varying EPS densities.
