That was last year's Ducati Corse Arai helmet. There might be some left in the warehouse at Ducati, I can check for you if you want, just let me know what size.

NICE, thanks!! I wear a large in Arai's. If you could check that would be awesome.

jarelj · August 23rd, 2012, 04:26 PM

Sorry, looks like discontinued and none left in the warehouse.

I own a brand new one. Only worn it few times bit it's nice and snug. Use Bell Star more often.

Understandable why you wouldn't want to obtain one from Estonia. Have you checked into the newer versions? I like your helmet but the newer models are even nicer I think.

I have not seen the newer models. Would you happen to have a link to them by chance?

Thanks!

Very, very nice of you to check for me sir. Much appreciated!!

jarelj · August 24th, 2012, 05:37 AM

There are two current models of Arai Corsair V in the Ducati range, the Corse and the Tricolore models. We have both of them in stock in size Large.

Trident · August 24th, 2012, 11:25 AM

Well, I like the old model better but that's just too bad apparently. Can you PM me a price on either of these models? From the pics I think I like the Tricolore better but it's really hard to tell without seeing the top and back.

Thanks for all your help, I really do appreciate it!

Here"s something a little different,but italian in colour. I think this helmet has a carbon shell also.

Sure thing, PM sent!

kensteele · August 24th, 2012, 03:14 PM

The newer helmets look really good, much better in person than on paper. I like the old ones, too but the newer models might be a bit nicer if you saw them side by side; obviously ymmv. This is similar to mine:

Ducati Corse SBK Arai Vector Helmet Large | eBay

Got it from Jarel when I bought my bike, for about the same price; not sure if it's the latest model or not but honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them.

Trauma · August 25th, 2012, 08:35 AM

I have the new one pictured here and love it. It is very cool/comfortable/quiet, and I have my Sena headset mounted in it and can even take phone calls!

There was one of these down here in Large and it was at a $200 discount, I can ring on Monday if you would like.
Dont know what Shipping cost's would be though if you were interested.

anthem · August 25th, 2012, 03:52 PM

There is one other helmet that is better looking than all of these (IMHO). Of course not sure you want to know the price of it. Surprised jerel didn't mention this one :-). Limited Edition Arai RXV Ducati Corse

Wow~ this is really nice! I guess this is a carbon model.

jarelj · August 26th, 2012, 06:46 AM

$3999 for the carbon one! I tried one on, and all I could think of is "which organ can I sell to buy this helmet!". It so light!

Trauma · August 26th, 2012, 06:55 AM

its like $1000, and they will put any custom image on it.
