DANI PEDROSA HEADS ARAI LINE-UP AT MOTORCYCLE LIVE

 DANI PEDROSA HEADS ARAI LINE-UP AT MOTORCYCLE LIVE

Plus new helmets, racing heroes and great competitions...

Arai has a superb line-up of racing heroes, new helmets, top activities and great service at this year’s Motorcycle Live event, which takes place at Birmingham’s NEC from the 19th - 27th November, 2011.

Dani Pedrosa - at the NEC with Arai
Repsol Honda MotoGP superstar Dani Pedrosa will be in attendance on Monday 21st November and will be signing autographs and giving interviews on Arai’s stand B320, Hall 2. Opening the entire Motorcycle Live show will be Dani’s fellow MotoGP racer Cal Crutchlow, who’ll also be firing up his Yamaha M1 racebike on the main stage!

Cal will be spending time on the Arai stand, along with WSB racers Leon Haslam and Jonathan Rea, and all will be available for signing sessions and interviews at various times. The Arai Entertainment Zone, in Hall 3 will provide everybody with an interactive, live experience plus the opportunity for riders to meet and greet fans, sign autographs and take part in the programme of activity.

On the Arai stand itself there will of course be the 2012 Arai range, including two new models. The Arai Axces II features a completely new shell and interior with a wider aperture and visor, giving better peripheral vision and provides a fantastic entry point into the Arai brand. Also on display will be the brand new Arai Tour X-4. The Tour-X has long been the benchmark helmet for adventure sports riding and the Tour X-4 is a superb evolution, featuring a re-designed, new shape shell with reinforced hyper ridge around the base. The revised, bigger chin vent gives better airflow and there are now brow vents added to the visor; the rear exhaust vents are also a sharper, more aggressive design. 

Arai Axces II - looking good!
Castrol Honda rider Jonathan Rea’s new RX-7 GP replica will also be making its UK debut, along with fresh designs and colour choices across the hugely popular Quantum and Chaser V ranges.

On Sunday 20th November, the Arai-supported Riders for Health auction offers up the chance to bag some great Arai items and associated lots, plus the opportunity to bid on the Yamaha R1 that Jorge Lorenzo rode on his parade lap at the 2010 Isle of Man TT. The bike is currently being ridden by BBC MotoGP presenter Matt Roberts to this weekend’s Valencia MotoGP on the Viva Valencia! road trip to raise money for Riders for Health – see www.motoventures.co.uk.  All three R1s used on the trip will be on display on the Arai stand, with the unique Lorenzo R1 making its way to auction on the first Sunday of the show.

As a special one-off for Motorcycle Live anyone buying a Chaser or Axces from an Arai Five Star dealer at the event can upgrade their new helmet’s visor to a Max Vision visor, with clear lens included, for just £10. Made by Pinlock®, Max Vision has a normal RRP of £79.99 and is an official replacement Arai clear visor, featuring a large recess in the shield designed to fit any of four different anti-fog lenses; clear, light smoke, dark smoke and yellow.

For the entire length of Motorcycle Live the Arai stand will be staffed by the same factory-trained technicians that service the Arai helmets in the BSB paddock; they’ll be ready to service, adjust and offer advice to all and any Arai customers at the show.
