Arai Maverick - any good ??

I thought this model was not made anymore; check the date stamp on the inside of the strap. Five year warranty on the Aria, but they say that they continue to cure from the date made, and they only like a five-year optimum use of a lid.

Cheers Les, this may explain the knock down price.
I haven't heard about helmets continueing to cure before. I have ridden with the same lid (Shoei) for years but I figured it was time to treat my self to something less smelly

most noise I've ever had in an Arai (it's my 3rd); doesn't fog; very comfy to wear;too much "tunnelvision"

After checking aorund further I have grabbed this one at the knock down price. It's a good looking lid and fits my head and wallet well As to being a few years old - I can live with that , to me it's brand new - straight from the dealer in the box . I did read the chin strap label and it says the lid has a 5 year warranty from date of manufacture and resommendtion to not use it 5 years from 1st useage . This sounds a lot like Arai trying to drum up repeat sales to me.
Thanks for the feedback folks - I'll go and hunt down a fog city once I see how it performs for a while......just need to get a nice paint job now
