cool.

[Guest NPNT]

they are the authorised dealer for arai. and their models are from the japan market,, not european or american market, that's why u don't see certain models.

 

japan fittings r for asians....whereas europe/america haf 3 or 4 different fittings.

 

helmets - diff fit - japan made the ones to fit our asian head shape while the other fits r made for americans w longer head shape and europeans with rounder headshape. in terms of sizes, arai is gd for gals cos it's available in XS too!

is this fitting issue seriously true?

 

i was enquiring abt Tommy Gun Red, and was told that they dont bring it in due to fittings/sizes.

 

Are europeans head really of diff fittings/sizes?

Actually the answer is a bit mixed.

First off, yes, US / Eurpoean sizings and Asian sizings are significantly different.

Our L can be their M.

 

But, I dun really think they never bring in the Arais for American or European markets.

Otherwise, explain the RX7 Kenny Roberts Jr Blue Eagle version which is on the Arai US website but on display and on sale at Chiap Lee at the time this thread was started.

So the diff is in the M asian vs M europe and L asian vs L europe?

 

Not due to contours in the linings etc?

This model is wic one? I nvr took notice ah.

 

They said not bringing in... therefore no hab lor.

 

But wait. i surf Arai Japan websites first.

I would think so.

I've read up on sizing charts for some other helmet brands and they do mention that sizing varies for some countries it is sold at such as Asian countries.

The black with 2 eagles, one blue & one red. Like this one:

I prefered the older 2004 or 2005 RX7, I think. But that time I went to Chiap Lee they had the newer 2006 RX7 which I didn't like.

[Guest NPNT]

Ok fine. Jap sites do not have Tommy Gun too.

 

Time to buy Nova then.

[Guest NPNT]

I would think so.

I was thinking, even if the sizes are different, perhaps i could get a helmet 1 size smaller.

 

But if its due to contours, then i really LLST. Dont tink other regions, their ppl have shape of the same contours as Alien Workshops ones.
