Installation Instructions for Arai Cheek Pads

Replacing the cheek pads on your Arai helmet is easy. To ensure proper installation and optimal safety, we recommend removing one cheek pad at a time so that the other can serve as a reference.

Removing the cheek pads

1. First, unfasten the chin strap.
2. Gently pull the cheek pad forward and out of the helmet.
3. Next, unfasten the buckle on the side of the strap to completely remove the cheek pad.

Removing the washable cover

1. Carefully pull the fabric cover off the cheek pad.
2. Remove the cover completely by gently sliding it off the cheek pad.
3. Always refer to Arai's maintenance instructions before cleaning.

Reinstalling the Trim

1. Check that the upholstery and the cheek pad are correctly oriented.
2. Thread the rectangular fastening strip through the opening in the cheek pad.
3. Pull the cover evenly over the cheek pad and thread the front tab through the larger of the two openings.
4. Make sure the upholstery fits snugly, without any wrinkles or slack.

Reinstalling the wrist pads

1. Reinsert the retention strap through the guides in the helmet, with the front tab facing the front of the helmet.
2. Press the back of the cheek pad firmly until the rear latch clicks into place.
3. Make sure both cheek pads are securely fastened before using the helmet.

Choose the right thickness for your Arai cheek pads

With the different thicknesses of the Arai cheek pads, you can perfectly adjust the fit of your helmet to your face. All cheek pads have the same shape and attachment method; only the thickness of the internal foam lining varies.

• Thinner cheek pads (lower mm value) create more space inside the helmet.
• Thicker cheek pads (higher mm value) provide a tighter and more secure fit.

Always check which standard cheek pads are installed in your helmet before choosing a different size.

Standard thickness by helmet size – Helmet size Standard cheek pad

• XS: 25 mm
• S: 25 mm
• M 25 mm
• L 20 mm
• XL 25 mm

Available thicknesses: 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, and 40 mm.

Example: Is your helmet equipped with standard 25 mm cheek pads, but would you like a snugger fit? Then choose 30 mm or 35 mm cheek pads. If you’d like more room around your cheeks, you can opt for 20 mm or 15 mm cheek pads.

Important: Always use only genuine Arai parts. Only genuine parts guarantee the proper fit, safety, and performance of your Arai helmet. If you have any questions about installation or compatibility, our experts are always here to help.
