For 2010 and the next two successive years, Arai and the Isle of Man TT organization have chosen a new sponsoring concept: Arai will introduce three limited special Isle of Man TT edition helmets in 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively. Each run of Aldo Drudi designed TT Series will be limited to strictly 500 helmets only and the Isle of Man TT organization will receive a commission for every helmet sold.

Arai Helmet has for many years been a proud supporter and sponsor of the Isle of Man TT races. Year upon year Arai course banners and sign posts have decked the world famous track and again this year, as in previous years, Arai will be present on the Isle of Man, supporting the organisation of the Isle of Man TT races.

The first 2010 TT Series will be priced at € 899,- (euro price including VAT £699.99 GBP) including the free display set and will be exclusively distributed by Arai’s UK importer Phoenix Distribution through their Five Star dealer Crossan Motorcycles .

The Isle of Man TT marshals will also use the 2010 TT Series Arai helmet for high visibility and to promote to the public.

History

There has always been a strong bond between Arai and the Isle of Man TT races. Many competitors and visitors prefer Arai helmets and for many years, Arai has sponsored the event. It was therefore not a big surprise when the introduction of the limited edition ‘’Isle of Man Centennial’’ model in 2007 proved to be a huge success.

Over time, Arai has amassed extensive knowledge when it comes to producing limited edition helmets and models like the Joey Dunlop Replica and the Haga Monza underline that success.

Crossan Motorycles Ltd / TheVisorShop.com are taking Deposits on Advance Reservation Orders of £200 per helmet, with the balance payable upon collection during TT2010 at the paddock , or if you prefer when we post your helmet out to you.

Limited edition RX-7 GP to honour Scottish racing legend.

Crossan Motorcycles is exclusively offering a limited edition Steve Hislop replica on the range-topping RX-7 GP motorcycle helmet.

Hislop was a roads and short circuit racing legend with career highlights that include eleven Isle of Man TT victories and winning the British Superbike Championship twice. Then reigning BSB champion, Steve was tragically killed aged 41 on July 30, 2003, whilst flying his helicopter.

Steve began his professional career with Arai and the Japanese helmet adorned many of his finest moments. Hizzy's trademark pink and blue design-complete with flying haggis-always made the Scot stand out from the pack. After two years of planning, an exact replica of his original design is now available and limited to 750 examples worldwide.

Survived by his two sons and mother, Margaret, the replica Arai is a tribute to him from Crossan Motorcycles and the many Hizzy fans who requested this to be produced. A royalty fee from each helmet sold will go to the Hislop family.

The RX-7 GP is exactly that used by Arai's MotoGP riders and sponsored racers the world over and is the first helmet to pass both ECE 22-05 and the rigorous new Snell M2010 standard.

The structural net composite (SNC) shell with peripheral belting and enhanced hyper ridge strengthening in the lower section represents Arai's most advance design to date. Other benefits from the new construction include a larger opening to make the helmet more comfortable when putting it on and a lower centre of gravity helps it sit more naturally to help reduce fatigue.

The quick release visor is now 10mm wider, which massively increases peripheral vision while the switches on the vents are easier to operate whilst wearing gloves. Between the RX-7's trademark twin diffusers is a five-position air wing, designed to reduce drag, turbulence and buffeting.

The Arai RX-7 GP Steve Hislop replica costs £599.99 and comes with an Arai race holdall and certificate of authenticity. Contact Crossan Motorcycles on 028 30850911 or buy from www.thevisorshop.com
