Arai GPV-R Racing Helmet – FIA Approved – The latest standard in racing safety
The Arai GPV-R Racing Helmet – FIA Approved is the flagship model within the renowned Arai racing helmet range.
The Arai GPV-R Racing Helmet is a high-quality racing helmet specifically developed for professional motorsport and demanding drivers. With this latest generation helmet, Arai combines its iconic safety philosophy with the most recent international safety standards. The result is an uncompromising racing helmet with maximum protection, excellent visibility, and high wearing comfort.
The Egg Philosophy – maximum safety
The GPV-R is constructed according to Arai’s renowned Egg Shaped Form (ESF). The outer shell, designed to be as round and smooth as possible, is not an aesthetic choice, but an essential safety principle. In the event of an impact, this shape promotes a glancing-off effect, whereby the helmet glides over the surface rather than stopping abruptly. This reduces rotational forces and significantly limits the load on the head and neck.
GP-VAS visor system
The advanced GP-VAS (Variable Axis System) has been developed to position the visor pivot point lower, while allowing the visor to be fully opened without touching the helmet shell. In the closed position, the highest point of the visor is lower than on previous models, resulting in:
- A larger smooth surface above the visor
- Improved impact absorption according to FIA test standards
- A higher and wider field of vision, ideal in a racing position
- The helmet is equipped with a mechanical visor centre lock, which securely locks the visor and prevents it from opening unintentionally at high speeds or during strong vibrations.
Comfort and ventilation
The high-quality inner lining is comfortable, close-fitting, and designed for prolonged use under demanding racing conditions. The efficient ventilation system ensures a constant airflow and helps keep the head cool, without compromising aerodynamics or stability.
