PrincessPratt Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 OK so I saw a new helmet at the bike show this weekend that I really want. The person told me it was the new 2009 RX7 corsair- Diamond White. I have been trying to look online and I don't see an RX7 Corsair line up for 2009 on the Arai website. I do see a Corsair V but there is still no diamond white. I just see the white listed. I haven't been able to note what the difference is b/t the two helmets...they look very similar. I LOVE the way the RX7 feels on my head so I was just wondering if anyone has experienced both of these helmets or is the Corsair V replacing the RX7? Once again....I'm confused.

Turbo810 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 The V is replacing the RX7. It also is shaped different. It has more of a round shape. The RX7 is more of an oval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playerpro153 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 true that, now is the time to buy the corsair. The difference between the two is insignificant for the cost increase. I see fine with the current window. 3 extra vertical mm isn't that helpful. If you can find the one you want from '08 or older go for that.

nochknstrps Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) ^ what that it cost one million dollars. I love my Rx-7s but I never paid full price for them. They are the best helmets I've owned and one did its job very well. I don't think I could pay for the 5 even with a discount. I don't think the little spoiler, which is fairly fargile (ask mclovin), and the rest of the tech is worth extra couple hundred bucks.

PrincessPratt Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Whenever I guess. You have stands right?Ya my bike is up on stands right now. Here's a pic that Ben took of the problem. I'm hoping I can still find an RX7 corsair b/c I refuse to pay those kind of prices for a helmet. This is something that was going on a wish list anyway.

r1crusher Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 $800 is a bit exaggerated....Helmet Harbor - Arai Diamond WhiteThere are a lot of other places that are all within a few cents of one another. I love my Arai's and will never get anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
