ARAI offers various types of visors for their SK-6, CK-6, GP-6, and GP-6RC helmets to cater to different racing conditions and preferences. Visors are crucial components of a racing helmet, providing eye protection, clarity, and sometimes additional features like anti-fog coatings. Here are some common types of visors available for these ARAI helmet models:
Clear Visor: The clear visor is the most common and versatile type, offering a clear and unobstructed view. It is suitable for general racing conditions and provides excellent visibility in various lighting conditions.
Tinted Visor: A tinted visor helps reduce glare and sun exposure, making it ideal for bright and sunny racing conditions. It can also offer some level of privacy for the wearer. Tinted visors are available in different darkness levels to suit varying light conditions.
Mirrored Visor: A mirrored visor features a reflective coating that helps block more sunlight and glare compared to a regular tinted visor. It is well-suited for extremely bright and sunny racing conditions, providing additional protection from intense light.
Iridium Visor: An iridium visor is similar to a mirrored visor but has a colorful and metallic appearance. It offers both style and functionality, reducing glare and enhancing visibility in bright conditions.
Pinlock Insert: Some ARAI visors are Pinlock compatible, meaning they can accommodate a Pinlock insert. Pinlock is an anti-fog system that helps prevent the visor from fogging up, ensuring clear vision during cold and humid conditions.
Tear-Off Visor: Tear-off visors are thin, transparent sheets that can be stacked on top of the main visor. Racers can quickly remove the top tear-off layer during a race to restore a clear view without having to clean the visor. This is particularly useful in wet or muddy conditions where the visor can get dirty quickly.
It's important to note that the availability of different visor types may vary depending on the specific helmet model and the region. Additionally, racing regulations may restrict the use of certain visor types in specific racing categories or conditions.
