Why buy the Arai VZ RAM Snow Dome Blue helmet?
The VZ RAM Snow Blue captivates with its exclusive, elegant, and distinctive glacier blue hue. Its metallic finish subtly captures the light, creating reflections that highlight the aerodynamic curves of this exceptional helmet.
When it comes to safety, no compromises are made. The outer shell, developed according to Arai's R75 philosophy, offers exceptional impact resistance while promoting sliding in the event of a fall. This unique design significantly reduces rotational forces transmitted to the brain.
Comfort is unparalleled, with an ergonomic interior that perfectly adapts to each pilot's body shape. The sophisticated ventilation system maintains an ideal temperature in all circumstances, while the carefully designed aerodynamics minimize turbulence and fatigue, even on long journeys.
History of the Arai VZ RAM Snow Dome Blue helmet
The Snow Blue color was introduced to the VZ RAM range in 2019, enriching the "Snow" series which celebrates clean lines and technical precision through hues inspired by Japanese winter landscapes. The glacial blue evokes the frozen lakes of the Japanese mountains and symbolizes freshness and clarity of mind.
The VZ RAM represents the evolution of the open-face helmet concept according to Arai's vision: to offer the same level of protection as a full-face helmet in a more open and versatile configuration. Developed using expertise gained on racetracks worldwide, it translates racing technologies into a model adapted for everyday use.
True to Arai tradition, each Snow Blue helmet is handcrafted in Japan using largely artisanal methods. The blue hue requires particularly meticulous application of five layers of paint and varnish to achieve its characteristic depth and exceptional resistance to the elements.
