<Overall rating>
ARAI has shifted its main axis to VAS - VMODEL and now it is an old generation, but since it is on sale in 2018 as many times as it is now, we will review it in a tribute. Shield, interior is common with ASTRO - IQ, but it is a Helmet of completely opposite character. In a nutshell Tight Circuit sports Will it be RAPIDE-IR for STREET with ASTRO-IQ and Loose for running?. Speaking of Rapide once, there was a time like synonymous synonyms so much that their characters changed a lot. But I like Rapide, do not you think?.
<Impression at rainy weather>
Small Type I experienced various experiences from typhoon to winter snowfall, but comfort ? Safety demonstrated performance that is not much different from that in fine weather.
? Ventilation works well in summer. temperature ? Wind ? Humidity ? Travel speed etc etc. Mouth according to ? amount ? Head ? By constantly adjusting the later Benchration and Shield opening, the optimum conditions are always set to Quantity : Can set. Even when it rains, the operability of each switch is good.
? You can keep on running for a long time while keeping the interiors sticky.
? You can also secure view with Pin lock
? Although it is general ARAI but 1Notch is narrow from fully closed, it is possible to open the Shield in a condition that it is difficult to let rainwater enter. It's easy to use since it is steplessly adjusted after that.
? If PROShade is used successfully, it will replace eaves and reduce the impact of rain to Shield (You can secure visibility) In some cases.
? In ASTRO-IQ, because the space of the mouth is narrow, it is easy to breathe inevitably, but Rapide has never had a breath even in rainy weather or snowfall in winter. Merit may feel that you can feel comfortable.
? However, do not forget to close the head when Ventilation is Large because the hole is big.. It is also personal freedom to take water cooling.
<Fit feeling>
It's the same interior, but RAPIDE-IR was equivalent to ASTRO-IQ with Loose at same Size. In my case ASTRO - IQ 's M was too tight and changed to interior for L, but RAPIDE - IR felt a bit like Eurui with the standard M. I think that it is the most Loose in past ARAI. It is definitely a loose fit even with SHOEIZ-7, GT-Air, X-Fourteen and there is no sense of oppression. That's why it is not Gap, so the feeling that the whole head is enveloped is high and the sense of security is high. However, it does not reach the deep covering feeling of the latest VAS-VMODEL.
<Quality ? Texture>
Intermediate Grade of ARAI but quality ? I think the texture is the highest rank among all Manufacturer. I think that MODEL better than this is about RX - 7, ASTRAL - X. Painting the interior, making the hat body, fine parts are satisfactory. If it is used for the Large thing, I think that it can be used for a long time because Repair is handled up to the detailed Parts with Manufacturer.
<Performance ? Function>
Although I have not experienced myself, the story of the person who ran Circuit was that it was not suitable for traveling Circuit. Compared with ASTRO - IQ 's Tight fit with ARAI 1 Small for the first time, it is a true reverse character. volume ? It may be the difference because the weight of RAPIDE-IR is slightly bigger than that of ASTRO-IQ.
Impression that Ventilation works better for Up Handle and American than Position deep forward leaning. PROShade is convenient. I can not think without Touring and general driving getting used to it. Long Type is recommended. With the VAS - V ratio, when the PROShade is fully opened the neck is Quantity : Pair (for Left and Right) A little heavy feeling, uncomfortable feeling, but not an unpleasant Level. Level to know by comparison.
Interior decoration is comfortable in common with ARAI and Ventilation seems to work better than Helmet from other companies.
<Design>
Three Slit's RapideIcon are inherited. The rugged design is also Rapide itself. However, although the crazy one is Design alone, it is actually a Loose family. And RAPIDE - IR only? Metal silver, I love this very much. I think that METAL shine in Chrome is more parental than the other ARAIMODEL 's Alumina silver.
<Cost performance>
I think there is no complaints. There are many cases where it is inexpensive at the end of MODEL. Compared to the same price range of other companies, I feel that Casting feeling, performance, safety are all very superior to COSPA. I like the design of other companies, it is recommended if there is no insistence to say.
Personally, VAS - V is even more recommended. I know Rapide is also good now if you know it choice.
