Arai SKV-R

Arai SKV-R Full Face Helmet

Engineered exclusively for the intense demands of kart racing, the Arai SKV-R inherits the cutting-edge philosophy and innovation of the flagship GPV-R auto racing helmet. Designed with Arai's signature focus on 'glancing off' performance, the SKV-R delivers uncompromising driver protection in a sleek, purpose-built profile.

A meticulously redesigned lower visor pivot point creates a remarkably smoother, rounder upper shell. This structural enhancement not only improves the helmet's impact deflection but also unlocks an additional 8mm of vertical vision, providing drivers with crucial, expanded track awareness. With a fully customizable interior and no FHR compatibility requirements, the SKV-R is primed for top-tier racing action straight out of the box.

Key Features:

• GPV-R Lineage: Built upon the advanced safety innovations of the GPV-R, maximizing impact energy management and 'glancing off' capabilities.

• Enhanced Visibility: A lowered visor pivot point yields a smoother aerodynamic shell while adding 8mm to the viewing port for superior apex targeting and situational awareness.

• Centre Visor Lock: Equipped with a completely new, intuitively designed centre visor lock to ensure effortless, secure closure under race conditions.

• Premium Customisable Interior: Features an advanced odour-resistant liner system with highly adjustable foam pads for a tailored fit.

• Comms & Hydration Ready: Built with microphone-ready cheek pads and a removable centre pad to seamlessly accommodate a variety of hydration systems.

Safety and Compatibility:

• Elite Karting Standard: Fully certified to the latest, highly stringent FIA 8878-2024 and Snell K 2025 homologations.

Please note: The SKV-R is a dedicated karting helmet and does not feature FHR (HANS) compatibility.
