Θέλω να πιστεύω οτι δεν υπάρχει ανάμεσα μας κάποιος που να δει πώληση "νέου" κράνους Αράι με τιμές πχ 50 - 100 ευρώ και να το χάψει.
Παρόλα αυτά,
το νου σας. Η Αράι έχει εκδόσει σχετική ανακοίνωση στην ιστοσελίδα της.
Έχω δει ήδη 1-2 post μέσω online πλατφόρμων όπως πχ Wish κλπ.
H ανακοίνωση:
"Beware of counterfeit helmets (Fraud and Scam Webstores).
It came to our attention that helmets are offered through websites and other sale channels that are branded ‘’Arai’’ by the well-known oval Arai logo and letter font, but are in fact copies of genuine Arai helmets. Please be careful when shopping online; if prices are very low and/or website address looks weird, do not buy the product. Genuine Arai helmets are sold only by Arai authorized dealers. Genuine Arai helmets are packed in white cardboard boxes with blue stripes. The boxes include a cloth Arai helmet bag, an owner's manual, and a small bottle of lubricant. There is a warning label on the helmet chin strap. Some genuine Arai helmets come with a Max Vision Visor/Max Vision PSS Visor and may also include a Pinlock lens. Only Genuine Arai helmets are covered by the Arai 5-Year Limited Warranty. If in doubt, please contact us via our Social Media channels or email info@araihelmet.eu for more information.
Important Warning concerning buying helmets from other countries.
Each world market requires different helmet standards. Never purchase helmets from outside your market as they may not comply with legally required standards for your country, not to mention their interior fit may not have been designed for your market and as a result may be very uncomfortable."
