FAQs
What Arai helmet models is this Pinlock compatible with?
This Arai Pinlock lens is compatible with Arai SAI visors on the RX-7GP, Quantum ST, Chaser V, Axces II & III, and Rebel motorcycle helmet models.
How does the ProtecTINT feature work?
The ProtecTINT feature is a photochromic technology that automatically darkens the lens when exposed to UV sunlight and returns to clear in low-light conditions or indoors. It adapts to changing light environments.
Will this Pinlock prevent all fogging?
The Pinlock system creates an insulating air pocket that significantly reduces or completely eliminates fogging by preventing condensation from forming on the inside of your main visor. Its effectiveness depends on a proper seal.
How do I clean the Arai Pinlock lens?
Clean the Pinlock lens gently with a soft, damp cloth or a specialized visor cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals that could damage the anti-fog coating or tinting capabilities.
Is the tint permanent?
No, the tint is not permanent. The ProtecTINT feature is dynamic; the lens darkens in sunlight and clears in low light or darkness automatically.
Can I install this on any Arai helmet visor?
No, this specific Pinlock lens is only compatible with Arai SAI visors found on the specified helmet models. It requires the visor to be Pinlock-ready with the necessary mounting pins.
What is the difference between this and a standard Pinlock insert?
The primary difference is the integrated ProtecTINT technology, which provides automatic light-adaptive tinting in addition to the standard anti-fog properties of a Pinlock insert.
Troubleshooting
Pinlock lens is not sealing correctly.
Ensure the small pins on the main visor are fully extended and that the Pinlock tabs are securely engaged. Check for any debris preventing a full seal. Realign and press firmly to ensure it clicks into place.
Fogging is still present.
Verify that the Pinlock insert is properly installed and creating a seal. Ensure the air pocket between the Pinlock and the main visor is intact. Clean both the Pinlock and the main visor as per care instructions.
ProTectINT feature is not darkening/clearing as expected.
Ensure the lens is exposed to adequate UV light for darkening. The transition time can vary. If the issue persists, check for damage to the lens's photochromic properties or contact customer support.
Difficulty installing the Pinlock lens.
Make sure you are using a compatible Arai visor. Ensure the visor is clean and the installation pins are clear. Consult the helmet manual or Arai's website for specific installation guides if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This Arai Pinlock lens is designed specifically for Arai SAI visors found on the following helmet models: RX-7GP, Quantum ST, Chaser V, Axces II & III, and Rebel. Ensure your Arai helmet is equipped with a Pinlock-ready visor featuring the correct mounting points.
Setup (Installation):
- Ensure your Arai helmet visor is clean and dry.
- Locate the small silicone or metal pins on the inside of your main visor. These are the anchor points for the Pinlock insert.
- Align the Pinlock lens with the visor, ensuring the small tabs on the Pinlock insert slot into the pins on the visor.
- Gently push the Pinlock lens onto the pins until it snaps into place. The edges of the Pinlock should create a seal with the visor.
- Check that the Pinlock is secure and that there are no gaps between the Pinlock and the main visor.
Care:
- Clean the Pinlock lens using only a soft, damp cloth or a specific visor cleaner designed for anti-fog coatings. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the anti-fog properties and tinting mechanism.
- Do not use dry cloths, as this can scratch the surface.
- Allow the lens to air dry naturally after cleaning.
- Avoid touching the inside surface of the Pinlock lens to prevent transferring oils from your fingers, which can impair performance.
