Like the original Vector model introduced four years ago, Arai’s new Vector-2 is created for the rider who doesn’t want or need a lot of bells and whistles but still wants quality, fit and performance. Arai says it concentrated on the key areas of ventilation, interior fit, field of view and shell features to create significant improvements in the Vector-2 with only a modest price increase. These allow the Vector-2 to remain true to the original Vector’s mission of Complex Simplicity, combining the complexity of Arai’s construction (that emphasizes protection and performance “in the real world of unpredictable streets rather than just in the controlled world of testing labs”) with Arai’s build-philosophy that emphasizes a helmet’s function instead of flash and fashion.
