CAR HELMETS
ARAI HISTORY Back in 1937 Arai Helmets started as a modest, manufacturing business for head-gear by founder Hirotake Arai and has developed into an international operation and a leading company in premium helmets. The driving force behind this remarkable success is the sheer quality of the product itself. In this respect the family standards and virtues are guarded by the current president Michio Arai and his son and successor Akihito Arai. Arai will only produce helmets that offer the best obtainable safety and comfort to the wearer; it is as simple as that. Of course Arai runs a profitable business, but profit will never be the deciding factor in the manufacturing of an Arai helmet. Carefully and with great craftsmanship each Arai helmet is made by hand. Painstakingly checked over and over again, just to be sure that our customers get the best quality possible. It is this policy that has made Arai not the biggest, but the best known helmet manufacturer worldwide, known for its sheer quality, its designs and its unsurpassed success in racing. Properties that have made Arai the favourite choice of not only F1 professional drivers and Moto GP racers, but for every racer who demands the best when it comes to personal safety and comfort.
RACE SERVICE Phoenix operates the UK Arai Race Service, which can be found at various dealer events and race meetings throughout the country (check www.whyarai.co.uk for full events list). Factory trained technicians are always on hand to offer advice on helmet fitment and maintenance as well as offering the same Arai helmet service and care to your Arai that the racers receive.

We strongly urge you to try on the actual Arai model and size helmet that you are considering buying. Why? Because things like evolution of design technology and Arai’s own changes and advancements over the years can result in the model and size you’ve ‘always worn’ feeling different in its current version.
