The Arai Corsair-X Helmet is already a track focused full face helmet designed to excel accelerating out of turns and rocketing onto the back straight…
Not so much true anymore. That phrase gets thrown around a lot int he motorcycle world and with today's standards you really just need a helmet that meets one of them.
I ride and run autocross in a "midrange" I guess you could say 200ish dollar helmet.
As a side now Bell is the one who came up with that phrase IIRC and they make some of the worst motorcycle helmets today as far as comfort wind noise ect go. But they do meet the standards out there.
For the OP I"d try to find a local speed shop that sells helmets and see if they can order them for you or see if they have them in stock. A helmet is something you want to fit well if it's going to be on your head for any length of time and proper fitment is critical for protection. In other words try them on.
When I buy a new helmet I go try it on at the store and walk around the store for 20 minutes with the helmet on to try to make sure it'll be comftrable.
I don't get jack from anyone lol. But it is a good idea to try on a safety device and it's easier to deal with local shop you have facetime with when getting something that doesn't fit properly than having to rebox and reship with someone who is many states away who only sees you as a number :P
