Arai GP 6RC Helmet Now available to order

The state of the art Arai GP-6RC helmets are a stunning example of Arai's vision and technology made into a real world piece of equipment.  Made from a proprietary weave of Carbon Fiber the GP-6RC helmet combines the existing light weight and and high strength benefits of Carbon Fiber with the added benefit of flexibility which standard CF does not possess.  The flexibility of the GP-6RC's shell allow the helmet to flex on impact and not splinter or shatter like standard CF is known to do.  This gives Arai the ability to produce a helmet ready for the demands and requirements of Formula 1 Racing yet would still be fitting in an art gallery.  The GP-6RC helmet meets and exceed Snell and FIA 8860:2004 standards and every one is built to order. 


GP-6RC Helmets Features
  • Large10mm intake and exhaust holes for increased airflow (front vents are closeable).
  • New shield pivot hardware with redesigned track slider for improved aerodynamics.
  • Wider eye port for increased peripheral vision
  • New positive shield locking mechanism provides solid shield latching while allowing normal operation. 
  • Factory installed HANS post with Arai logos, newly integrated seats for HANS posts provide a flat surface for the anchor to sit flush around its entire perimeter.  
  • Proprietary Carbon Fiber weave provides strong yet flexible shell allowing improved performance while keeping weight and size to a minimum.
  • Arai 6 Series 3mm thick visor (not interchangeable with GP-5)
  • Removable cheek pads for a custom fit (feature emergency release tabs for easy helmet removal in an accident)
  • Approval: FIA 8860:2004 and NEW Snell SA2010
  • Includes: 1 clear A/F visor (installed), 1 light tint A/F visor, 1 dual pane light tint visor, 1 screw pivot kit, 1 spare clear duct vent set and 2 sets of Arai factory tear offs.

Good Motorcycle Books worth Reading

Back in 2007 after having completed my training course with Tristar's talented Motorcycle Safety instructors I knew that I've only just started my journey. So I hopped on Amazon and started searching for more knowledge that will help keep me off the tarmac.

Here are some of my favorite books:

Total Control: High Performance Street Riding Techniques Total Control: High Performance Street Riding Techniques 
Total Control explains the ins and outs of high-performance street ridin, gives riders everything they need to develop the techniques and survival skills necessary to become a proficient, accomplished, and safer street rider.

Smooth Riding the Pridmore Way Smooth Riding the Pridmore Way 
After reviewing the basics, Pridmore shows advance students how to focus on control in cornering, braking, and acceleration. A long-time proponent of the value of body-steering, Pridmore's insightful text explains how this controversial technique helped him win championships and how it can help everyday riders and budding racers become smoother, better riders. Sections on street strategies and riding gear make this a comprehensive how-to riding skills book for anyone looking to improve their skills.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation's Guide to Motorcycling Excellence: Skills, Knowledge, and Strategies for Riding Right (2nd Edition) The Motorcycle Safety Foundation's Guide to Motorcycling Excellence: Skills, Knowledge, and Strategies for Riding Right (2nd Edition)
