Why buy the Arai VZ RAM Sakura White helmet?
The VZ RAM Sakura White is a true celebration of traditional Japanese aesthetics. On its pristine white base, elegant cherry blossoms (sakura) in delicate shades of pink unfold, accompanied by slender branches that gracefully extend across the helmet's surface. This refined design evokes the Japanese spring and its renowned blossoms.
In terms of safety, this helmet represents the pinnacle of Arai technology. Its outer shell, developed according to the R75 philosophy, offers exceptional impact resistance while promoting sliding in the event of a fall. This unique design minimizes rotational forces transmitted to the brain, the result of decades of expertise in head protection.
Comfort is exceptional thanks to the ergonomic interior that adapts perfectly to each pilot's body shape. The sophisticated ventilation system maintains an ideal temperature in all circumstances, while the carefully designed aerodynamics reduce turbulence and fatigue, even during long journeys at high speeds.
History of the Arai VZ RAM Sakura White helmet
The Sakura White model was introduced to the VZ RAM range in 2021, drawing on the Japanese tradition of hanami, the contemplation of cherry blossoms, which symbolizes both the ephemeral beauty of life and the renewal of spring. This design translates this essential cultural element onto a modern medium, merging heritage and technology.
The pristine white background was specifically chosen for its symbolism of purity in Japanese culture, as well as to perfectly highlight the delicate pink hues of the cherry blossoms. This combination evokes traditional Japanese paintings where empty space is as important as the depicted elements.
Each Sakura White helmet is a true wearable work of art. The floral motifs are applied by hand by skilled artisans using a meticulous process that requires up to seven different layers of paint and varnish. This traditional technique ensures not only the beauty but also the exceptional durability of the finish.
