Arai GPV-R Helmet - XL (60-61cm)

The Arai GPV-R helmet is designed to provide enhanced head protection in motorsport environments through an advanced composite shell and refined impact management features. It uses a redesigned Complex Laminate Construction (CLC) shell with a lower visor mounting position to create a smoother upper surface that helps deflect impact energy more effectively.Discover the key features of this helmet:Complex Laminate Construction (CLC) Shell: A multi-layer composite shell structure engineered with carefully layered fibres and resins improves structural strength while maintaining controlled flex, which helps manage and disperse impact energy more efficiently and results in improved head protection during high-energy impacts.Lowered Visor Pivot System: The visor pivot point is positioned lower on the shell which allows a smoother and rounder upper surface profile that reduces snag points and helps impacts glance off the helmet rather than transferring force directly into it, improving overall energy dissipation.Lowered Visor Aperture Profile: The visor opening height has been reduced by approximately 17mm compared to the previous GP-7 design which increases the uninterrupted shell area above the visor, supporting improved impact performance in line with FIA test criteria and enhancing protection in critical impact zones.Extended Downward Field of Vision: The lower edge of the visor opening has been dropped to provide around 8mm of additional downward visibility which allows you to monitor dashboard instruments and controls more easily while maintaining full protective coverage.Dual-Sided Visor Lock System: A centrally mounted locking mechanism designed for operation from either side provides secure visor closure with a clear locking action, allowing you to open and close the visor reliably even while wearing gloves which improves usability during driving conditions.Advanced Ventilation Layout: Air intake vents have been repositioned approximately 15mm forward to optimise airflow channels through the helmet which increases cooling efficiency and helps manage heat build-up inside the helmet, resulting in improved comfort over longer sessions.Removable Interior Lining System: The internal padding is fully removable which allows easier cleaning and maintenance while also improving airflow circulation through the helmet, helping you maintain hygiene and consistent comfort.Adjustable Cheek Pad Design: Redesigned cheek pads include integrated openings for microphone installation and cable routing which simplifies communication system setup while keeping wiring neat and unobtrusive, resulting in a cleaner and more practical interior layout.FIA 8859-2024 and Snell SA2025 Certification: The helmet meets the latest FIA 8859-2024 and Snell SA2025 safety standards which confirms it has been tested to stringent impact, penetration and fire resistance requirements, giving you assurance of compliance with current motorsport regulations.HANS Clip Compatibility: Supplied with pre-installed HANS posts which allow direct integration with head and neck restraint systems, helping you achieve a secure and compliant safety setup without additional modification.GP Ped Rear Spoiler Kit: Includes the Arai GP Ped aerodynamic spoiler which is designed to improve airflow stability around the helmet at speed, helping to reduce lift and maintain consistent positioning during high-speed driving.Fluid System Preparation: The helmet is pre-configured for hydration system integration which allows you to install a fluid delivery system without modification, supporting consistent hydration during extended use.You gain a helmet that improves how impact forces are managed while maintaining clear visibility of controls and stable airflow through the shell. Its design supports practical use through features such as easy visor operation, integrated communication routing and straightforward maintenance. This makes it a reliable and well-considered addition to your safety equipment setup.FIA 8859-2024 and Snell SA2025 approved
