GP-7 FRP Arai - SA2020 FIA 8859-2015

Arai GP-7 (FRP)

The successor to the respected GP-6 series, Arai 's longest running and most successful GP model, the new GP-7 model is now available.

It conforms to the new Snell SA2020 standard as well as FIA 8859-2015 homologation. A complex laminate construction with Arai 's proprietary peripheral belt has been used for additional reinforcement, providing the best characteristics for shell gliding ability.

outer shell

The round, soft and resistant outer shell is a characteristic that all Arai have. The ability to deflect energy works in conjunction with the helmet's absorption ability to maximize protection. This leaves the energy absorbing liner of the helmet to manage the impact energy that does enter the helmet.

inner lining

Arai 's multi-density EPS inner liner, combined with the PB-cLc outer shell, has created an unprecedented helmet design. The different densities of EPS are seamlessly blended into a single, uniformly thick liner that conforms to both the smooth contour of the shell and the organic shape of the rider's head for a comfortable helmet with great visibility and gliding capabilities.

pads

The Facial Contour System (FCS-2) cushions provide an incredibly comfortable, yet firm fit that cradles the cheeks and gently wraps under the jaw to reduce lift and limit noise intrusion from below. Optional pad sizes are available to help customize the fit to your specific needs.

FHR M6 threaded anchors are installed on the inside of the hull to facilitate the installation of optional FHR post mounts, if required. The GP-7 also features a removable center chin piece for easy installation of a drinking system.

Other features

The GP-7 (FRP) looks identical to the SRC version as it has been built using the same tooling, and comes with 7 holes on the top with white vents, two TDF3 ducts on the front, three tear ducts in the center and an XDB duct in the rear. This optimizes airflow and keeps your head cool while riding. A new Variable Axis System (VAS) visor pivot mechanism has been incorporated to lower the visor pivot point while allowing the visor to open fully and clear the shell. New low profile pivot bolts are used, requiring the use of a T20 torx wrench, which is included for your convenience.
