Used Review: Arai Corsair

Fri, 01 Jan 2010

The comfort of Arai’s lids in the upper range are, for me, beyond compare.

I’ve spent the last two years wearing this lid, and, just my luck, I crashed the first time I wore it.

Chasing a Fireblade down the Brands Hatch straight, his engine blew sending me and the RC8 I was (briefly) on, sliding across his oil towards the gravel.

The rear tyre smacked me in the head as the KTM barrel-rolled past, leaving a huge rubber stripe which has since worn off.

The vents across the top of the lid cracked but the shell suffered no damage and I still wear it every day.

I’m not sure I want to put myself through another crash test, but I’m confident the Corsair would manage it.

Price: From £349.00
