I jut got my new Arai Corsair V. This thing is a work of art and beautiful. The fit is perfect. A good replacement for my RX7-R3.

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

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.
Ah yes....the old school Q-tip with the wooden stick. Deluxe!

Do you have BOTH same exact helmets? I do. The new helmet is much better.

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.
Maybe you don't understand english. Should I spell it out in Greek????
what part of this do you not understand of my post
"Don't know about those claims. I have the same exact helmet. Great improvments???? Do you work for Arai?? "
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 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.
