Arai GP-7SRC 8860-2018 Carbon Fiber Helmet
The new ARAI GP-7SRC is a stunning example of Arai vision and technological mastery, engineered into a functional, real-world piece of safety equipment. It begins with a startling advancement: a proprietary carbon fiber weave that combines its existing properties of high strength and extreme light weight.

The result is a helmet ready for the unparalleled demands and requirements of high end closed-cockpit racing. The remaining list of ARAI GP-7SRC features and advances is impressive because, for this helmet and its prospective user, it simply has to be. The ARAI GP-7SRC meets or exceeds the latest FIA 8860-2018 homologation standards. Fits Intermediate-Oval head shapes.
ARAI GP-7SRC HELMET VENTILATION
