Simon's tech talk is close to the enjoyment you get from watching a race. Always interesting, always informative, always learn something I didn't know. Thanks to Simon and the team. Brilliant.
10:25 reminds me of Corning's "vermillion" technology for sunglasses. The theory is that daylight is very blue, and when a reddish tint, or coating is applied to the lens, it increases not only contrast but chromatic definition. I had one of those glasses, and it is quite interesting; once you put it on things look quite pinkish, or magenta, but in minutes your brain ajusts, and things look incredibly clear. Then, after some time, when you remove the glasses, the world looks flat and blue.
Oakley prizm lens use this technology. I use either prizm road or prizm golf whilst riding/driving on the road. With either lens, makes all of the colours "pop" e.g. reds look brighter.
Simon Crafar is a massive benefit to MotoGP! He is intelligent but has a real knack of getting the message across! Keep up the good work Simon and MotoGP for letting him do these tech talks!
so perfect inside depth reality talk on modern days helmets this is the strongest point of simon crafar true knowledgeable guy on the paddock thank you man i respect your professionalism . see you next time bye
@@MaverickPrimegang Is this really Syain Guintoli? That's awesome! I don't normally see people of your stature in the youtube comment section. You must be excited about how strong Suzuki is right now. I hope we get to see you as a wildcard somewhere this year. Stay safe friend.
Simon, congratulations. You do an amazing job, passionate, friendly, positive, informative, timely, insightful... It shows your commitment and your human and professional caliber. Thank you. I’m fact, thank you to all at MotoGP/Dorna, you guys run a superb show/business/sport, the envy of all other sports (Formula1 dreams of your performance).
Arai helmet saved my life in my massive motorcycle crash in 2018. I was able to learn to walk again after 7months. Last year I got back on motorcycle. I got myself new helmet too. It was Arai again :)
this guy is such a great reporter also! such passion and talent for teaching other enthusiasts. Big up Simon, hope Dorna will keep you on team for a long time!
They are all in MOTOGP connection , ALL THE HELMET IN THE WORLD goes inside MOTOGP and even all the BRAND of RIDING GEAR SUITE of every RiDER ... THAT'S WHY IT IS #NOT ILLEGAL ... LOL !! 😂😂😂✌✌✌
very impressive, excellent info for gear heads... tech, tech, tech... more, more, more! Simon Crafar's passion to bikes resonates in every rider. Class act.
Great video Simon, thank you! Having cracked my skull before and broken two helmets in accidents, I now closely follow advancements. Helmets such as 6D, Fly Formula (dirt only for now) and to a degree MIPS equipped helmets, are now managing impacts better than the traditional EPS (foam) liner. Concussion research from other sports such as American Football are driving advancements in impact management and leading to better performing helmets for all of us.
It is very cool to see him explaining all that . . . and anyone who has had their Arai long enough to take it apart and wash it now knows without a doubt we are wearing the good stuff!
i was'nt going to watch it at first i thought it would be a bit boring and it was only the fact i bought a new lid recently ,so glad i watched it never thought that so much went into making a crash helmet and the tech that's involved ,made me feel a whole lot safer that's for sure .,awesome vid.
The rose tint in visors is for blocking out blue light. All aviation pilots wear blue blocker glasses because when you remove excess blue light the contrast of the other colours goes up. For this reason eagles also have a rose tinted eyelid to help spotting prey. Blue blocker sunglasses also work well in marine environments....where there is excess blue light from both the sky and sea.
Hi Simon #TechTalk Thanks for these vlogs! They are great info for us fans! Please can Simon get hold of the details of Maverick's crash at The Styrian GP and show us what happened to his suit and how the protection worked and allowed him to get up and walk away from jumping off the bike at over 200kmh! ( I still can't believe or understand how he did that!) Can't wait for Misano today!....
Love these Tech Talks and love Simon but perhaps someone can give Simon a Tech Talk about the clip on his mask. It bends and can be shaped around the nose so the mask stays over the nose and doesn't slip off. It would be a short video, but very valuable.
I did enjoy the video very much. I've kept all my road bike helmets over the year's. One AGV Three SHOEI and Two ARAI. If they ever come up with a helmet that has the comfort of Arai and the visor mechanism of Shoei that would be a design very hard to top.
There is an interesting point about you could have given a little more info. The different type of fibers that are used in the outter shell of the helmets. There are some riders that in their helmets use a mixed of fiberglass and carbon fiber, others only carbon fiber, and others use another components mixed with the previous ones.
I sure wish Moto GP would update their app I pay for to have these new episodes on their app. I still have the ones on mine that are all moto 2 and one with suspension
Hey Simon, You mentioned "there is only so much a helmet can take". Since the tech has improved over the years, where are the manufacturers currently? Have they figured out the limit of impact G's that the helmets can absorb in non static conditions?
Carbon fiber would be super awesome for weight gain, but pure carbon fiber would shatter into millions of pieces with an impact. Its strong but brittle. there are carbon fiber helmets, but I don't know what mix of compounds are used to make them safe and if they are safe enough for moto gp
Correct me if I am wrong, most of Japan Brand still using fiber glass in concern to pass SNELL standards, and one of their concern was about certain weight. Most of helmet brands who are using carbon fiber having a purpose to serve the lightest helmet, which that part cannot make them to pas the SNELL. Yes you can still using carbon fiber to reach the SNELL but you will need more carbon fiber layer parts to reach the minimum weight. The result? Take a look at arai rx7v/rx7x Carbon, the price is so high even might be almost 3 times than agv pista GP RR which is also using carbon fiber. So that is depend on the brand manufacturer standards and concerns. In the end, brand like arai still concern with total safety rather than reach the latest trend model or be the lightest one. Take a look that brand like arai from time to time the shape still looks round and round and have important aim like what simon crafar explain in this video
I always love Simon Crafar's insights about all tech around MotoGP. Thank you! 🙏🏼
I love Simon's ability to simplify the complexities of the technology and that he's got so much detail memorised.

interesting. thanks for sharing your experience.
Ski goggle manufacturers have been using that tech since the '70s. My favorite lens were rose colored. The best in my opinion is polarized.
this is why for street daytime riding I wear Oakleys with a clear visor instead of just a tinted visor. I definitely notice the difference
Oakley prizm lens use this technology. I use either prizm road or prizm golf whilst riding/driving on the road. With either lens, makes all of the colours "pop" e.g. reds look brighter.

@@rexstetson1717 unfortunately it isnt the real Sylvain Guintoli. I think Sylvain has his own youtube channel that he regularly updates
Simon has such a passion for motorcycling. It's not a job when you love what you do.
Best content beside racing, that MotoGP provides. No question.

Simon is a great ambassador for MotoGP. His racing life and teaching life are inspiring. One day I will attend his Motovudu racing school!
Oh my god, I’ve been dying waiting tech talk video, loved it so so much
Simon, you are my guru. Still learning more about our favorite sport. Thanks for all you do for us. 👌
Love your content MotoGP, you inspired me to start my own youtube channel.
Thank you for motivation.
I love Tech Talks.
Simon... you do a phenomenal job. THANK YOU !

Use Rossi helmet for thumbnail and the video talking about Arai.

Simon u saved this channel. I’m a big fan now
Absolutely great stuff! I really enjoy this series. Well done Simon!
Interesting as hell as always. Good job Simon and MotoGP team. Thx.
Many thanks to the wonderful employees that hand build these protective helmets .
Favorite series on RUclips
Thank You Simon, You Rock ...!
Love these little bits. Great job Simon.
I absolutely love my Arai, the best lid out there for road or Track. Simon Crafar is brilliant in all aspects of MotoGP
It is very cool to see him explaining all that . . . and anyone who has had their Arai long enough to take it apart and wash it now knows without a doubt we are wearing the good stuff!

Do an explanation about the aerodynamics of a helmet next please Simon ! Loving these tech talks !
You Sir are a gentleman and your explanation is superb! Thank you
Loved the presentation, easy , informative , clear .
Loved this one Simon, especially as I'm an Arai wearer myself. Keep up the great work!!
Ironically thumbnail has agv helmet and his talking about arai😅
Probably to emphasize that this isn't an ad
fir the people to watch because TBH arai helmets ain't just beautiful to look at aesthetically speaking.
Greetings from Algeria, I love you
Great to see you again..
Love these videos!!!
Thank you Simon.
How about Moto GP update these wonderful videos WITHOUT the "Suffocator".
I'd much prefer to see Simon's face❣️
Very informative Simon san ❤️

I love these and I can't wait till the next one
Great explanation Simon. Thanks mate!
Great info @Simon Crafar🤝👍😎👌🤝
Great explanation!
Wow enjoyed this info, very thorough
Another great video!!
Nice talk
I have two Arai helmets.Most comfortable I've ever had.I also swear by pinlock system.
Does it have tearoff too?

Sir, please make videos on MotoE bikes. There is not enough information on MotoE tech avaliable on youtube. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Good job.. thanks my brother.
Finally Simon hold the tatsuki suzuki's arai. Cannot wait to see that model in production, would be the nice one
Nice video, so we can learn about helmet in motogp
Nice feature though with the " beware hot gases " sticker on the Maverick V. helmet !
Yess jam 10 waktu nya begadang wuhuuu mantap slurrrr 46
Siap luuurrr
Banar atu
Keep more tech talk like this.
Motogp never go political I love you
Amazing, nice to know, thanks
Very good information sir
love this content!

great video man !! tx
Excellent !
I wonder why Mips technology wasn't mentioned . Helped me on my bicycle crash , wish I had those rib protectors though . Cracked 3 😁
I'm really digging the "double-glazed" donut visors 😅
I did enjoy the video very much. I've kept all my road bike helmets over the year's. One AGV Three SHOEI and Two ARAI. If they ever come up with a helmet that has the comfort of Arai and the visor mechanism of Shoei that would be a design very hard to top.
Great Content 👍🏼
Bloody hell Arai's are nice helmets.
3.17! I always wait to see how long before Simon says 'when I was racing'. This time it was 3.17. (And 9.01 but who's counting) Bless his cotton socks
I wish helmet manufactures would label their helmets by head shape,thank you for the tech talk.
Tech Talk rules!
There is an interesting point about you could have given a little more info. The different type of fibers that are used in the outter shell of the helmets.

Vale with the AGV Pista GP-R on the Thumbnail but Simon Stay in the Arai Truck :D
Super. Thanks a lot
Love Simon❤️
Excelent video!!!

Great video. Are any features in a motoGP helmet available in a coustom retail helmet?
Love and trust my Arai helmet👍
Much respect to all the companies working hard to improve the brain-bucket technology!! =D
Thanks Simon I was wondering what the riders were tearing off.
Great information :-)
he made it all interesting.
Fc. Phuket Thailand 🇹🇭♥️👍😊
Great work Simon.. the way you explain is just fantastic... #tiktok 🤣🤣😝👍👍
Simon is perfect ! =)
Neat video 🤩
Hey Simon,
You mentioned "there is only so much a helmet can take".
Since the tech has improved over the years, where are the manufacturers currently? Have they figured out the limit of impact G's that the helmets can absorb in non static conditions?
So u gonna be the first to sign up as a test dummy?
Great insight thought they’d have coms tbf
Thought Motogp Helmet would be made with Carbon fibre instead of fibre glass.
Carbon fiber would be super awesome for weight gain, but pure carbon fiber would shatter into millions of pieces with an impact. Its strong but brittle. there are carbon fiber helmets, but I don't know what mix of compounds are used to make them safe and if they are safe enough for moto gp
AGV Pista GP/GP-R/GP-RR actually made of carbon, but the mixture of resin and fibre are more dominant
Correct me if I am wrong, most of Japan Brand still using fiber glass in concern to pass SNELL standards, and one of their concern was about certain weight. Most of helmet brands who are using carbon fiber having a purpose to serve the lightest helmet, which that part cannot make them to pas the SNELL.

Take a look that brand like arai from time to time the shape still looks round and round and have important aim like what simon crafar explain in this video
@@adrians7087 carbon fibre products are also electrically conductive.
i asked the arai rep, and he said the same Corsair X helmet you can buy in the store is the same the motogp riders use
