ABOUT ARAI
For the tenth consecutive year, Arai Helmets have earned the number-one ranking in J.D. Power and Associates’ Motorcycle Helmet Customer Satisfaction Study. Think about that for a minute, please: J.D. Power began the annual study 10 years ago, asking riders like you to rank their satisfaction with their motorcycle helmets. That year - and every year since - riders have ranked Arai number one. Which means that Arai owners are the most satisfied with their helmets compared to the owners of every other brand reported. Thousands of riders are asked every year, and every year the answer has been the same: Arai.
Although a worldwide company with over 50 years of helmet manufacturing experience, Arai (pronounced "ah-rye") is still a family-owned business, with a family's pride, and a dedication to quality that simply won't allow them to put their name on anything that isn't the best they can do. The Arai family insists that EVERY Arai helmet be inspected, by hand, at least three times during it construction. In the words of Michio Arai, "How can you say that one person's head is worth more than another's." Arai helmets are virtually hand-made, one at a time, to deliver enviable quality, comfort, fit and balance. And, as to meeting the current DOT and SNELL standards, Arai's own internal standards are so high that the helmets are subjected to twice the number of drops required by Snell for a helmet to absorb and withstand potentially harmful G-force impact loads passing through the helmet and into the head. Arai believes it is not enough to simply meet the Snell standards, but to exceed them.
