Staying true to Arai’s Egg-Shaped Form (ESF), the GPV-R is engineered to maximize protection by helping redirect impact energy away from the helmet rather than allowing it to transfer to the driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA newly redesigned shell lowers the shield pivot point, creating an even smoother, more continuous surface that enhances Arai’s renowned “glancing-off” performance. By minimizing protrusions and maintaining the helmet’s round profile, the GPV-R helps reduce the forces transmitted during an impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe GPV-R also features Arai’s innovative \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ecenter shield locking system\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, providing a secure, positive lock while allowing quick and effortless operation from either side of the helmet.

The new shell gives you incredible strength and flexibility, and that strength allows Arai to use an extremely soft EPS liner that’s so comfortable it’ll make you think more about a nap than a race. Right until you strap in, that is. The cheek pads are replaceable for a more personal fit. Up top, the ventilation system is greatly improved with three large intake vents, plus four larger exhaust cowls.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"two-up-image-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGP-VAS Shield System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GP-VAS System was developed to lower the shield pivot point and still open fully without contacting the shell, resulting in improved impact absorption performance in the FIA Standards' impact absorption test.
