The Arai Rapide (also known as the Concept-X) is a retro-styled full-face motorcycle helmet blending 1980s aggressive streetfighter aesthetics with modern Arai technology, featuring a lightweight yet strong PB e-cLc shell, the VAS-VC visor system for improved glancing-off, excellent ventilation (Free Flow System), a comfortable Eco Pure liner with speaker pockets, and Arai's renowned multi-stage safety, all secured with a double-D ring closure. It's designed for riders seeking classic looks with contemporary performance and safety. 


Key Features:


  • Retro Design: Clean, minimalist, 80s-inspired look for classic bikes, but with modern performance.
  • Shell Construction: Lightweight and strong PB e-cLc (Peripheral Belted e-Complex Laminate Construction) for durability and impact resistance.
  • Safety: Smooth, round shape to "glance-off" impacts, Arai's strict in-house testing, plus an Emergency Release System (ERS).
  • Ventilation: Free Flow System (FFS) with hidden brow vents, chin vent, and rear exhausts for optimal airflow.
  • Visor System: VAS-VC (Variable Axis System) with a lowered pivot point for a smoother shell and wider vision, including a Pinlock insert and new latch.
  • Interior: Antimicrobial Eco Pure liner, fully removable, with Facial Contour System (FCS), peel-away pads, and speaker pockets for intercoms.
  • Closure: Secure Double-D ring. 

Who it's for:

  • Riders who love the 80s/retro naked bike scene but demand modern safety.
  • Those transitioning from race helmets to retro styles without sacrificing protection.

Key Sizing Notes

  • Measure Your Head: Always measure your head circumference above the eyebrows and ears for the best starting point, as RevZilla recommends.
  • Shell Sizes: Arai uses different shell sizes for different size ranges (e.g., a Small helmet and a Medium helmet might share one shell size, while Large/XL use another).
  • Customizable Fit: The Rapide Neo/Concept-X features removable/replaceable cheek pads and liners of varying thicknesses, allowing for significant fine-tuning of the fit within a shell size.
  • Model Variations: Sizing can slightly vary between specific Rapide models (e.g., Rapide Neo, Rapide IR), so check the chart for your exact helmet.
