The Nakano reproduces the livery of Shinya Nakano, an iconic MotoGP rider from the 2000s. Technical style, vivid colors — a replica for those who followed the paddock during the Nakano years.

The VZ-RAM is the benchmark open-face helmet from Arai. Handmade in Japan with the same rigor as their racing models, it integrates track-proven technology into an open-face format designed for the road and the city.

Key features
Handmade shell
Each shell is assembled manually in Japan, layer by layer. Stiffer and lighter than a standard shell, it is impossible to replicate through mass production.
Rounded profile for better protection
Smooth exterior surface without protrusions. In the event of a fall, the helmet slides and dissipates the impact instead of snagging and transferring force to your neck.
Long wide-angle visor
Longer than a standard open-face visor to provide more coverage for the lower face. It can be swapped in seconds without tools, clear or tinted depending on the weather.
Effective ventilation at any speed
5 air intakes and 6 exhaust vents ensure active airflow even at low city speeds. Less heat, less fogging.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose my size?+

Measure the circumference of your head 2 cm above your eyebrows. The VZ-RAM is an intermediate oval shape, which fits the majority of European head shapes. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size and allow a few weeks for the foam to adapt to your shape.

What is the lifespan of an Arai helmet?+

Arai recommends replacing your helmet after 5 years of use, even without visible damage. In the event of a fall, even a minor one, replace it immediately.

Are visors interchangeable between VZ and SZ ranges?+

The VZ-RAM visor is compatible with helmets using the VAS-Z system. Compatible models are the Arai SZ-R VAS and the Arai SZ-R EVO (ECE 22.06 standard). Older generations like the SZ-Ram 4 are not compatible.

Can this helmet be used with glasses?+

Yes, the interior of the VZ-RAM is designed to accommodate eyeglass temples without pressure or discomfort.
