The only thing I don't like about them is that the old Corsair screens don't fit on them.

Wear the boots and the helmet with a beige riding suit and you'll look like an old time Q-Tip.

Just kidding!

Nice gear.

The old shield doesn't fit because they've made great improvements to the design. The new shield fits a lot more flush and has a wider field of vision. I went for my first ride this weekend and I have to say the helmet is waay quieter than the old model with waaaay more airflow. I highly endorse this helmet!

I have a Corsair V and the previous model. It's a nice helmet but it doesn't seem much better than the older version. I was disappointed that the older version face shield did not fit the V. Side by side the face shields look almost identical.

I understand ENGLISH quite well thanks. What part of "I own BOTH helmets" did you not understand?? Do you own BOTH helmets? Your post said you "have the exact same helmet". I own BOTH so I can say that I can tell that there are improvements in the new one. What part of MY post don't YOU understand????? That's VERY clever....do you work for Arai. VEEEERY clever. You Fing genius. I just posted a thread about my new Knox gloves. You want to ask me if I work for Knox too?? You Fing savant.....

I replaced my older Arai with the new Corsair V. Very impressed. You can check out my review here but here is the review in a sentence.


Still one of the best helmets money can buy that oozes quality and style but the price is becoming eye watering.

I just bought one from The Helmet Shop, in solid white, for $561.57 no tax, free delivery. You have to use a discount code, or call their toll free number.
I've bought from them before and so far, in my experience, they've always delivered a new product for a good price. This is by far the best Arai I've ever worn.
