Arai GPV-R Racing Helmet - SA2025 / FIA8859
Arai's GPV-R brings the brand's protection-first design philosophy to a purpose-built auto racing helmet. A redesigned PB-cLc shell with a lowered visor pivot point creates a smoother, rounder upper profile that helps impacts glance off rather than transfer force into the shell. Homologated to SNELL SA2025 and FIA 8859-2024, it ships with HANS posts and the GP Ped Kit rear wing included standard. A glove-friendly center visor lock, removable flame-retardant interior, and forward-shifted ventilation round out a helmet built for serious wheel-to-wheel competition.

The Arai GPV-R is the next evolution of Arai's protection-first design language, purpose-built for four-wheel auto racing rather than karting. The headline change is a lowered visor pivot point on the GP-VAS visor system, which lets Arai drop the shell's visor attachment area and create a smoother, rounder upper shell. The result is a profile with fewer snag points — impacts are more likely to glance off the shell rather than transfer force straight into it.
Arai also reworked the eyeport, lowering the bottom edge to open up downward visibility so you can read dash instruments, switches, and pit boards without breaking your line of sight. The new center visor lock can be operated from either side of the helmet, even with gloves on — a real advantage for corner workers during an extraction. Inside, a removable flame-retardant liner with dense comfort-foam pads allows fit adjustment across roughly two shell sizes, while redesigned cheek pads simplify mic installation and cable routing for in-car communication. A removable center pad accepts drink system routing without modifying the shell.
Built in Arai's PB-cLc composite shell construction and homologated to both SNELL SA2025 and FIA 8859-2024, the GPV-R ships with HANS posts and the GP Ped Kit rear wing included standard — no separate hardware purchase needed to get race-ready. Available in gloss white, sizes XS through XL.
