Description
The successor to the highly respected GP-6 series, Arai’s longest running and most successful GP model, the new GP-7 model is now available. It meets the new Snell SA2020 standard as well as FIA 8859-2015 homologation. A complex laminate construction with Arai’s patented peripheral belt has been used for additional reinforcement, providing the best characteristics for the shell’s rebound ability. The round, soft and strong outer shell is a feature that all Arai’s possess. The ability to shed energy works in conjunction with the helmet’s absorption ability to maximise gains in protection. Impact energy that does not enter the helmet does not have to be managed. That leaves more of the helmet’s energy absorbing liner to manage what impact energy does reach the helmet. The Arai 1-piece multi-density EPS inner liner combined with the PB-cLc outer shell has created an unrivalled helmet design. Different EPS densities are seamlessly combined into a single, uniformly thick liner that matches the smooth contour of the shell and the organic shape of the rider’s head for a comfortable helmet with great visibility and glare-reducing capabilities. Facial Contour System (FCS-2) cheek pads provide an incredibly comfortable, yet firm, fit that cradles your cheeks and gently wraps under the jaw to reduce lift and limit noise intrusion from below. Optional cheek pad sizes are available to help customize the fit to your specific requirements. FHR M6 threaded anchors are positioned inside the helmet for easy installation of optional FHR post mounts if needed. The GP-7 also features a removable center chin bar for easy installation of a drinking system. The GP-7 (FRP) is identical in appearance to the SRC version as it was manufactured using the same tooling and comes with 7 vents on the top with white vents, two TDF3 ducts in the front, three tear ducts in the middle, and one XDB duct in the rear. This optimizes airflow and keeps your head cool while riding. A new Variable Axis System (VAS) shield pivot mechanism has been incorporated to lower the shield pivot point while still allowing the shield to fully open and clear the shell. New low profile pivot screws are used, which require the use of a T20 Torx key, which is included for your convenience.
