More protection, more comfort and a better fit thanks to the enlarged lower sides. But all this without affecting that feeling of freedom and the excellent vision that only an open face helmet can offer. The first thing you notice about the CT-F is the revolutionary adjustable visor. The challenge was to design a visor with excellent aerodynamic properties, while offering effective protection against sunlight and offering an impressive appearance. Arai's engineers managed to combine these requirements brilliantly. Download CT-F instruction manual Download file general Outer shell: SFL (Special Fiber Laminate) A structure made up of layers of special fiber, subjected to strict quality control, packed with fibers right up to the surface of the shell and joined by resins formulated by Arai, enables the dispersion of impact energy through the largest possible area. (the fundamental task of the shell) thanks to its resistance, its structural integrity and its flexibility on impact. VENTILATION CT-F ventilation Dual intake designed to increase airflow and reduce noise level, guiding cool, fresh air into the interior. The one-piece rear exhaust draws more hot air from inside the helmet and improves aerodynamics. Side exhausts produce low pressure behind the rear vent for better hot air extraction. Integrated into the shell to improve aerodynamics, they reduce wind noise and prevent buffeting at speed. FRONT VENTILATION double entry Designed to increase the air flow and reduce the noise level, drawing new and fresh air into the interior. FRONT VENTILATION Fresh air can enter the helmet without the need to drill holes in a statistically high impact area. In some specific models the ventilation is also extended to the temple area. Rear ventilation Air outlet opening in the neck To improve the extraction of hot air from the interior. Increases the ventilation effect in the lower part of the helmet. side air vents They generate low pressure behind the rear ventilation opening to improve the extraction of hot air. Integrated into the shell for better aerodynamics, they reduce wind noise and prevent buffeting at high speeds. Inside, a small foam barrier helps absorb and dampen excess noise without compromising ventilation performance. Rear air outlet in one piece Extracts more hot air from inside the helmet and improves aerodynamics. INTERIOR Replaceable Cheek Pads / Earmuffs Cheek pads / earmuffs can be easily removed. All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent. After cleaning, the helmet should be rinsed thoroughly and should never be left to dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. We have interior pieces of different thicknesses and sizes to accommodate each pilot. Remove by pulling out the rear first Replace by inserting the front part first replaceable inner All the interior can be easily disassembled. All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent. After cleaning, the helmet should be rinsed thoroughly and should never be left to dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. We have interior pieces of different thicknesses and sizes to accommodate each pilot. FCS (Facial Contour System: facial contour system) Designed to provide an even more snug fit and improve comfort under the chin, the FCS system works through a foam spring support in the cheek pad that compresses and rebounds, providing the necessary support without an excess of pressure. 5mm “peel off” earmuffs/cheek pads Adding more capability for perfect fit and comfort, the cheek pads include a 5mm peel-off layer for extra room if needed. ARAI CHARACTERISTICS Divert In order to minimize the impact energy entering the helmet, it is essential that a helmet be able to slide on a surface. Arai believes that a durable, rounded, smooth shell helps increase the helmet's ability to protect the rider during an impact. Shells with sharp edges or air inlets that don't break can reduce the gliding ability of the helmet, transmit energy to the helmet, or even dangerously increase rotational energy. inspected five times Each Arai helmet goes through five independent quality control departments: inspections after the shell is made, after painting and graphic finishing, after assembly and two others during the process. Washable interior The premium interior of any Arai helmet can be easily washed without removing it, with lukewarm water and mild soap. handcrafted Our experts can take up to five years to create an Arai shell. Each shell can include up to 27 stages, and the production of an Arai helmet requires around 18 hours. all day comfort All day comfort with Arai's shape and interior fit in conjunction with the highest quality lining materials and comprehensive ventilation system. Thanks to the perfect balance and weight distribution of the helmet, wearing an Arai is barely noticeable. Penetration tested All Arai helmets undergo penetration testing, even though European standards do not require it. The Arai penetration test is performed with a 3kg test cone impacting the hull from a height of 3m. Double D locking device Flat and D-rings fit smoothly on your chin. With no moving parts or corrosion issues, just pull the tab to loosen the fastener. Smooth shape, better protection The smoother outer shell of Arai helmets has been designed to slide without offering unnecessary resistance. It is not desirable to decelerate the hull more than necessary. This is why the vents and ducts are designed to detach on impact. Hard outer shell, soft inner lining Arai uses a very hard outer shell to distribute the forces of the impact and a soft inner lining to absorb the remaining energy. The multi-density EPS inner shell is manufactured using a unique technology that combines three to five densities in various areas as a single component. anatomical shape The anatomical shape of the Arai outer shell offers a more natural appearance, provides greater support and better adapts to the natural shape of the head to increase comfort and fit and to minimize air turbulence. 5 year limited warranty All Arai helmets are guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship, valid exclusively for the first properly accredited user and for 5 years from the date of first use, but never later than 7 years from the date of purchase. manufacturing. Different outer shells Unlike many other manufacturers, Arai offers one outer shell size for every two helmet sizes on most models. Together with the outer shells of different shapes for different models, it is practically impossible not to find what you are looking for. Arai internal test This Arai helmet has been designed to meet the demanding requirements of the internal ARAI criteria, in addition to the mandatory homologation standards, such as ECE 22-05. HOMOLOGATION ECE 22-05 The most common international certification for helmets, required in more than 50 countries around the world.
