$4000 Arai Corsair V Race Carbon? Yes please!

[jay-d]

- It takes one shell master, 10 hours to make one carbon fiber helmet.
- The same shell master can make 104 regular Corsair V helmets in one day.
- 1/2lb lighter than Corsair V.

Riders Choice had em on display at the show in December... sweet helmet.

Not $4000 sweet, but still.

Apex has sold a few.Weren't carbon helmets proven to be "too stiff" on the race circuit a few years ago?A helmet shell needs a certain amount of give to allow the liner it's compression ability.

In the video, the guy says that Arai figured out a way to make carbon fiber pliable so it can flex! Most other carbon fibers are brittle when bent but this stuff is supposed to retain flexibility so looks like they figured out a way to get around that!

my cousin has one for car racing. Worked out to be around $5k

Then we sanded it all down and painted it for him.......lol

(needed to have it for racing in Europe. FIA approved, etc, etc....)
Some big coin indeed. It was a nice light pretty looking bucket though.

Seems like a waste of $4,000 to me...
Carbon this, carbon that, at the end of the day when your face meets the asphalt, it's all the same.

I think we forget how rich some people are. What's $4000 to some one worth $50 million. It's a exotic item and not for the masses.

$4000.00!!!! No thanks, I would purchase a set of BST wheels WAY before that helmet.
