Arai GPV-R Cheek Pad
Fit is everything in a race helmet, and Arai's genuine GPV-R cheek pads let you dial yours in precisely. Available in seven thicknesses — 12mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, and 40mm — they replace worn or compressed factory pads or let you fine-tune fit between standard helmet sizes. 25mm is standard for XS, SM, MD, and XL shells, while 20mm is standard for Large; everything outside that range is available as an optional thinner or thicker fit. Built with a fire-retardant outer covering to match Arai's interior safety standards.

A helmet that's the right shell size but loose in the cheeks is still a compromised fit — and Arai addresses that with a full range of replacement cheek pads for the GPV-R, sized in seven thicknesses to fine-tune fit without needing a different shell size. These are genuine Arai parts, built to be fully interchangeable with the GPV-R's internal shell architecture and securing mechanism, with a fire-retardant outer covering that meets the helmet's interior safety specification.
Here's how the thickness range breaks down: 25mm is the factory-standard pad for XS, SM, MD, and XL shell sizes, while 20mm is standard for Large. Beyond those standard thicknesses, 12mm and 15mm are available as optional thinner pads across all sizes — useful if you've lost some facial padding over time, want a looser fit, or are compensating for a balaclava or head sock. On the other end, 30mm, 35mm, and 40mm are available as optional thicker pads across all sizes, ideal for tightening up fit as factory pads compress with use or for drivers between standard sizes who need a more secure hold.
Replacing compressed or worn cheek pads isn't just a comfort upgrade — a loose-fitting helmet can shift under impact or hard cornering loads, so keeping pad thickness matched to your actual fit matters for both comfort and safety. Always install genuine Arai replacement parts to maintain the fit and performance the helmet was designed around.
