And the SKV-R gets the benefits of this input. Designed by Arai specifically for karting, the SKV-R adds a ton of features and advancements to the already-impressive list of its predecessor, the Sk-6. You won’t believe the comfort, lightness, and feeling of confidence the SK-6 gives you, thanks to its incredibly strong and smooth, proprietary cLc (Complex Laminate Construction) shell, and it's Egg-Shaped Foam (ESF). Its strength allowed Arai to give the SKV-R an extremely soft EPS liner for better comfort and impact energy management.
