Left and right rigid frames made from a polymer compound in combination with the internal smooth edged soft injected EVA provide a perfect fit and stable positioning.
Overall frame construction dissipates energy loads by transmitting them across the back.
Flexible back connector between the left and the right frames allows the Neck Support to follow the body movement when riding.

Arai CK-6 Youth Karting Helmet Features
SRC Superior Resin shell material, developed and formulated in-house at Arai, dramatically improves the bonding properties of standard fibers, allowing the use of less material for reduced weight and lower cost.
Removable/Replaceable cheek pads in optional sizes allow for custom fit when needed. Easily removable 5mm top layer of foam allows for further custom fitting.
Wide and tall eye port for an exceptional field of view.
Large intake vent toggles for easy operation, with large rear vents for improved ventilation. Features taken directly from the GP-6PED auto-racing helmet.
Newly sculpted chin bar and ridge along lower edge of shell to improve structural integrity. Provides a stronger shell near the opening where it's needed while lowering the center of gravity. Rise in shell above the shoulders for added clearance.
