Arai Helmets, founded by Hirotake Arai in 1926, pioneered the Japanese motorcycle helmet industry in 1952 after its founder, a keen motorcyclist, sought better protection. Known for handcrafted, round, and smooth shell designs, the family-owned company prioritizes "glancing off" impact energy over mere certification standards.
Arai remains a family-owned firm driven by maintaining a strict standard where the helmets sold to the public are identical in protection to those worn by world champions.
