Anyone recognise the model of this Arai helmet?

Logo seems to be different than that of the current Arai range.

looks like an astro j why not send the guy a msg and ask

 

cheers .... only just twigged you could send a message via gumtree. message sent.

doesn't look like any of the current Arai range of helmets in my opinion

[Guest]

I have to agree, looks dodgy ....

Was kinda thinking it might be too good to be true myself. Seller also has a Shoei helmet for sale too, 'brand new' etc. for the same price. I've messaged him/her via gumtree to ask for the exact model of the Arai helmet.

Got a reply back from the seller

"HI, It is the RV model, yes it is 59to60in size. I hope this helps. regards.."

Googled same and while there is indeed an RV model, I can't find one that looks the same as the one advertised. The RV model has different logo and different design around the chin from the one advertised.

I'm sure that's not a bike lid.

It's a car lid.

Just done a google. Hmmmmmm......

EDIT:

This lid must be a pretty old model. Loo at the Arai website and it nowhere to be found.

RV and SV were around about 10 years ago. They were Arai's basic lids.

Have a look at the new Arai Axcess and the Shoei Qwest if you want decent brand entry level lids(£260.00)

Cheers for the advice folks. I think I'll give this one a wide berth.

Thanks for the heads up re the Shoei Qwest, I read that it was awarded webbikeworlds helmet of the year in 2010 so might give that one a go.

Thanks again.
