Concept-XE's brute simplicity is the product of imagination, but make no
mistake, while the retro style may grab the attention it had to pass
Arai's stringent in-house testing. So underneath the aggressive look,
you'll find a strong, lightweight PB e-cLc shell, with a smooth and
round shape, reinforced with Arai's proprietary peripheral belt, to
slide across surfaces and glance-off obstacles. The VAS-VC shield
system, with its retro mechanical look, further enhances glancing-off
performance by lowering the visor pivot point to maximize a smooth upper
shell.
Although a nod to the past, the Concept-XE is very much a helmet of the
present. Ready for a generation of modern riders that demand a new, old
style - but with the performance and comfort only an Arai can provide.
ECE R22-06 requires a much more stringent testing process than the
previous ECE R22-05 and includes an oblique test to measure rotation.
Acquisition of the latest standards represents the current benchmark of
the time, but Arai always continues to pursue improvements to protect
the rider.
