History of the Arai VZ RAM Oriental 3 Black helmet
Arai's Oriental series was born from the brand's desire to celebrate its Japanese roots and the influence of traditional art on its approach to helmet design. The third generation (Oriental 3), launched in 2021, takes this fusion of tradition and cutting-edge technology even further.
The VZ RAM, a modern evolution of the open-face helmet concept, was developed to meet the expectations of demanding urban motorcyclists. It combines Arai's racing DNA, forged on racetracks around the world since the 1950s, with the practical needs of everyday users.
The Oriental 3 Black version draws direct inspiration from traditional Japanese urushi lacquer, where deep black serves as a backdrop for gold details and symbolic motifs. Each graphic element tells a story linked to Japanese culture, transforming this helmet into a true testament to a millennia-old heritage.
