Why buy the Arai VZ RAM YOIZARUKA helmet?
The VZ RAM Oriental 3 Blue captures the very essence of traditional Japanese aesthetics against a striking deep blue background. This third generation of the Oriental series features refined motifs inspired by Japanese art, with dragons, waves, and floral patterns delicately intertwined in gold, red, and silver.
Safety is, as always with Arai, a top priority. The outer shell, developed according to the R75 philosophy, is designed to disperse impact energy thanks to its continuously rounded shape. This unique design, born from decades of racing experience, offers maximum protection against rotational forces transmitted to the brain.
Comfort is exceptional, with a perfectly tailored interior that hugs the contours of the face. The advanced ventilation system ensures optimal airflow in all seasons, while the carefully designed aerodynamics reduce turbulence and fatigue, even on long journeys at high speeds.
History of the Arai VZ YOIZAKURA helmet
Arai's Oriental series celebrates Japanese cultural heritage through traditional motifs adapted to the modern world of motorcycling. Launched in 2021, the third generation (Oriental 3) takes this fusion of artistic tradition and cutting-edge technology even further, with more detailed designs and an expanded color palette.
The deep blue of this design evokes the oceans surrounding the Japanese archipelago, a central element in Japanese mythology and art. This shade serves as an ideal backdrop for the gold and red motifs reminiscent of traditional ukiyo-e (Japanese prints) and period kimonos.
Each YOIZAKURA helmet is handcrafted in the Arai factory in Japan, where the artisanal tradition has been perpetuated since 1926. The intricate patterns are applied according to a meticulous process that requires the intervention of specialized artisans, making each example slightly unique and carrying an artistic value beyond its technical qualities.
