HAWK RACERS WEAR ARAI
21 March 2006 - Arai Helmets

The 2006 British Superbike championship readies itself for the off this weekend at Brands Hatch

The Hawk Kawasaki team riders of Dean Thomas, Craig Coxhell and Peter Hickman are eager to get racing on their brand new ZX-10Rs. All three are wearing Arai crash helmets this season, and revelling in the comfort, safety and protection that only the state-of-the-art Corsair race helmet can give.

Hawk number one rider Thomas, after two appearances in the World Supersport championship (and a superb 8th place at Phillip Island) is excited about the upcoming BSB challenge, and very happy to be taking it on in Arai;

“It seems like a long time since we last raced at Brands Hatch. I’ve been lucky to be granted two wild card rides in the opening rounds of the World Supersport series, which has made me more eager to get back to racing in the UK. I’m feeling very different this season and looking forward to gaining some strong and positive results for the Hawk Kawasaki Team. It’s great, too to be wearing the Arai Corsair this year – a helmet is perhaps the most crucial part of a racer’s safety equipment, and the Arai’s fit is pure class, as is the quality and way the helmet works. Every detail, no matter how small, is right on the Corsair and it’s all the little details that make a big difference when you’re lining up on the grid.”

The top of the range Arai Corsair features an SNC (Structural Net Composite) outer shell, which ensures maximum rigidity with minimum weight gain and comprises of a super-strong layer of specially developed strands that bond to form a mesh, preventing slippage between the fibre layers. In the event of an impact SNC ensures that energy is dissipated away from the impact point ensuring that the helmet retains its shape, eliminating any possible concave separation.

A fully washable and removable Dry Cool® interior aids fit and comfort while the top diffuser can move 15 litres of air per minute, again providing a dramatic difference for the rider in extreme race track conditions. Available in sizes XS to XXL, the Arai Corsair comes in a variety of plain colours as well as various stunning race-replica designs.
