Cut to the Chase(r)
Arai’s fabulous Chaser X helmet uses its Facial Contour System
for a snug fit, and enhanced comfort for your lower jaw. Foam
spring cheek-pad support compress and rebound, to protect
without excess pressure, while a Free Flow System creates air
flow beneath the helmet to cut wind noise and turbulence, and
improve expulsion of hot air.
A lowered visor mounting system makes for a smoother, more
aerodynamic shape, the interior is replaceable, there’s a Max
Vision Pinlock visor, and a pull-down chin spoiler.

Cuts a sharp figure
You’ll make a bold statement in Merlin’s Axe chequered over-
shirt, which are now available in a larger range of sizes. The Axe
was designed to look and feel like a heavy-duty cotton shirt but
with a modern protective barrier. Dupont Kevlar offers superior
abrasion resistance and features as a lining through the whole
garment, not only impact areas. CE approved shoulder and
elbow armour is included, and you can replace the supplied
back pad with a CE level back protector.
