All involved with Arai Helmets in the UK are keen to show our support for our lads serving in Afghanistan.

We're taking the Arai Race / Servce Truck to support the Royal Air Force Association's Wings Appeal Easter Egg Run on Sunday, 28th March, ending up at RAF Cosford in Shropshire.

We'll be selling tickets (proceeds to help RAF personnel serving in Afghanistan) for £1 for a chance to win a Rea/Crutchlow/Haslam one-off signed... 'Battle for Britain' poster! Please come and support us and spread the word.


This truely is a genuine one-off poster - and this could be the year a Brit wins the WSB!!

We'd love to see you at RAF Cosford, remember of course you can come and see us on the truck and get your Arai Helmet safety checked and serviced, for free!

Leon Haslam - This feels great!

LEON HASLAM, ALSTARE SUZUKI
Race 1: First
Race 2: Second
Championship Position: 1st






“THIS FEELS GREAT!”
Leon Haslam recorded his first ever World Superbike win in the first race of this year’s World Championship at Phillip Island. He led from start to finish and took the flag, just 4000ths-of-a-second ahead of Michel Fabrizio (Ducati). His win in race one and runner-up spot in the second puts him on the very top of the Superbike World Championship, nine points ahead of his nearest rival.

“I am so happy to get my first WSBK win and it feels great! I want to thank the team for having faith in me. The first race was such hard work and it was impossible to relax for a second. I realised that Fabrizio was in my wheel tracks going into the last turn and would try and use the draft to get past me, but I kept my head down and charged to the flag. I was so unbelievably happy to win and it was such a fantastic feeling. In race two, I had some problems with rear traction but still thought I could win. I had a great fight with Sylvain but I finally got ahead of him and made it stick. Then suddenly, Carlos was there – he dived under me just three corners from the end, on the last lap. I tried to get him back but he managed to hold me off and take the flag. It feels good to take a win and a second in my first race with the team and it feels fantastic to be leading the Championship.”

Congratulations to Leon and the rest of the Arai riders, from all at Phoenix distribution, official UK importers of Arai
