The Arai Difference: Glancing Off

While absorbing impact energy is important, Arai believes that avoiding or minimizing impact energy from getting inside the helmet is where more performance can be found.

This kinetic energy can be avoided or minimized by sliding over or glancing off objects. Glancing Off is the ability to avoid sending energy directly into the helmet and instead disperse as much of it as possible without stopping or snagging on an obstacle. Arai believes that the ability to glance off energy is one of the most important performance characteristics of a helmet.

Watch here as @hdunham_19 gives us a nearly perfect example of Arai’s concept of Glancing Off in @MotoAmerica Stock 1000 competition at Laguna Seca.
