Arai Chaser X Max Design Helmet - PreownedSize XL 62cm head
I bought this Arai Road helmet about 3 years ago. It is still a popular model and colour and retails for $799 Arai Chaser-X Shaped Blue Helmet (mcas.com.au). Its had light use and never been dropped. It has the usual signs of wear as can be seen in the photos but is overall in excellent condition.
The internal cushions are in good condition and can be removed and washed or replaced.
There is currently a stereo speaker and microphone setup installed with a 3.5mm plug. On the helmet is a Lexin B4FM communicator but as it hasnt been used for a while the battery only holds a charge for a few minutes. The Lexin communicator is not part of the sale, but if you like I will leave it on the helmet for you to try it out.
It would be very easy to buy a new communicator and plug it straight into the speakers and microphone that is already installed or for a very cheap option you can just buy a 3.5mm extension cable and run it straight to your phone.
Chaser-X is the third Arai helmet that makes use of the new VAS (variable Axis System) technology that offers a significant larger and smoother shell area above the SNELL test line greatly improving the important helmet glancing off performance. The Chaser-X makes use of an also completely new ventilation system derived from the RX-7V, instantly recognizable by the large, single intake duct on top of the helmet. This Top Ventilation System is derived from the RX-7V diffuser system. The replaceable interior is lined with an anti-microbial fabric. The Chaser-X features FCS (Facial Contour System) and a fixed, non-retractable mini chin cover. The chin vent is also new, while the Formula One developed visor lock system is the same as used on the RX-7V. All Chaser-X helmets come with a standard Max Vision visor with a Pinlock inlay lens separately packed in the box.
CHASER-X FEATURES:
Chaser-X Ventilation: New system:
- The Chaser-X features an exclusive ventilation system that is unique to this model. It is instantly recognizable by the large intake and exhaust duct on the front part of the helmet. The large inlet allows generous amounts of cool, fresh air to enter the helmet, assisted by the two inlets in the large single frame rear duct. The exhaust function of the large front duct keeps working when the intake is closed. The two small exhaust vents on the back of the helmet help to quickly dispose hot, warm air from the helmets interior.
Outer Shell Construction SFL:
- Special Fibre LaminateStrict quality controlled construction using special fibre layers, crowded with fibres right to the shell surfaces and bonded with special resins formulated by Arai, to disperse impact energy over the widest possible area the shells main job through strength, structural integrity and impact flexibility.
Variable Axis System (VAS):
- With VAS, the visor mounting position is lowered, yielding an average of an additional 24mm across both temple areas, in pursuit of the ideal smoother shape that increases the ability of glancing off energy. As a result, this has made it possible for more of the shell to be smoother along and above the test line of the Snell standard.
Ventilation: Free Flow System (FFS):
- Creates airflow under the helmet that reduces wind noise and turbulence while increasing the exhaust of hot air.
Front ventilation: Center top vent - intake and exhaust:
- The new Top Vent provides 11% more airflow than the previous Vent. The new bigger switch makes opening and closing easier. The new Top Vent has three positions; closed, half open and fully open to adjust the airflow and prevent water intrusion when fully closed.
Front Ventilation: Standard brow vents:
- Fresh air can enter directly to the forehead area without the need for holes in this critical area of the shell and impact absorbing liner.
