Why buy the Arai VZ RAM Pedrosa Shogun helmet?
The VZ RAM Pedrosa Shogun combines Arai's technical excellence with an exclusive design inspired by the legendary rider Dani Pedrosa. Its Shogun livery, blending red, black, and gold, evokes the power and elegance of Japanese warriors while paying homage to the distinctive style of the Spanish champion.
This helmet offers exceptional protection thanks to its outer shell, designed according to the same principles as models used in competition. Its characteristic Arai R75 shape promotes sliding in the event of an impact, reducing rotational forces transmitted to the brain.
The comfort is unparalleled, with a perfectly fitted interior that molds to the shape of the face without pressure points. The advanced ventilation system maintains an ideal temperature in all conditions, while the carefully designed aerodynamics reduce turbulence and fatigue, even at high speeds.
History of the Arai VZ RAM Pedrosa Shogun helmet
The Pedrosa Shogun model celebrates the collaboration between Arai and Dani Pedrosa, three-time world champion in the 125cc and 250cc categories and iconic MotoGP rider. Launched in 2020, this special edition transposes the Spanish rider's visual identity onto the VZ RAM, Arai's premium open-face helmet.
The term "Shogun" refers to the military generals of feudal Japan, a nod to Arai's Japanese heritage and the "military" precision that characterizes their craftsmanship. This design merges Spanish and Japanese influences, symbolizing the meeting of Western talent and Eastern craftsmanship.
Each Pedrosa Shogun helmet is handcrafted in Japan using traditional methods where human intervention remains paramount throughout the 27 production stages. The intricate patterns are applied by experienced artisans, guaranteeing an impeccable finish worthy of its name.
