Arai Renegade-V
Arai Renegade-V Outline - Black
The Arai Renegade-V motorcycle helmet is a full-face helmet which features premium protection as well as varying styles and colours.
Safety
Arai is world-renowned for the safety of their motorcycle helmets. The Arai Renegade-V is no exception. A super fibre belt integrated into the shell provides increased strength in the area above the eye-port. The shell is made from Arai's Super laminate Fibre SFL2 with the Variable Axis system VAS at the visor. Each individual Arai carries an individual signature of approval - every one is subjected to rigorous tests for superior safety.
Styling
The Arai Renegade-V full-face motorcycle helmet is for riders who enjoy premium Arai protection while enjoying riding a cruiser style bike or a naked motorcycle. The design emphasis is concentrated on the shape of the Renegade-V. It is designed to resemble the look of a martial artist with added strength to the chin bar for maximum impact resistance. The top ducts have been designed for an upright riding position, as is usual for cruiser and naked style bikes.
A wide variety of colours and designs are available in the Renegade-V shell.
Comfort
The Renegade-V has a sophisticated ventilation system with four resealable vents on the front and four exhausts on the sides and back for excellent air circulation and comfort. Noise-reducing foam in the EPS cheek pad material makes this a quieter ride and the chin curtain reduces the air coming in and noise further. If the rider wants an even quieter ride, the optional replaceable chin cover can be mounted.
It comes with a clear VAS Max vision Visor with de-mist options and an antimicrobial inner liner which is removable and washable. The Renegade-V also has replaceable cheek pads/ear cups for maximum comfort as well as speaker pockets for the integration of an intercom. Arai's Facial Contour System FCS means this is supremely comfortable.

Practicality
Arai's five-year warranty is a fantastic bonus from the Renegade-V. The comprehensive ventilation system can be personalised and changed easily for all weathers/occurrences. The anti-mist visor has an extremely wide aperture for fantastic vision and is extremely easy and quick to change. The double D ring closure system is both highly secure and easy to use.
The most practical feature of all is the lining - not only comfortable - but with in-built recesses for installation of a communication system. The lining is also antimicrobial and removable and washable - plus the thickness of the cheek pads can be changed for your own personalised comfort.
Negatives
Arai helmets do not come cheap. You do not get this superiority of quality at less than £50 - BUT we do have some great deals on the Renegade-V in a variety of colours. You do get peace of mind for your money - safe in the knowledge that your head is fully protected at all times. One negative point about the Renegade-V helmet is it does not feature an inner sun visor - which a lot of helmets offer nowadays.
Verdict
The Arai Renegade-V is another triumph from one of the world's best known and most-celebrated helmet brands. Ultra-lightweight and supremely safe, the Renegade-V is available in a vast choice of colours and designs - something for everyone!
Until next time, stay safe,
