Spoiler, like on the back of a car. It fucks with the airflow over the helmet. Can be used to lessen the strain, from the rush of air, on the neck of the rider/driver (you see them in open cockpit racing like Formula 1 as well) or to make the overall airflow over the wearer less turbulent and thus increase speed slightly. (I think that is the thinking when you see helmets without the spoiler, but it makes the wearers neck work a bit more)

Yea I know what its for, I mean what exactly is it from a product standpoint.

Replacement Spoiler:

So you can get them but you need to have a helmet that supports them.

A lot of race helmets will have a small spoiler built in as seen in:

But no products for the arai

But no products for the arai

Googling find this: http://www.zipnorth.com/product/spoiler-kit-for-arai-helmet/ which includes a chin spoiler. No idea about models though as I wear a much cheaper helmet.

Those are for auto racing Arai helmets.

Arai do not offer such an add on for the every day rider from what I have seen. The ones you see on the MotoGP riders are made especially for them. What exactly were you wanting to achieve? They are pretty stable at high speed as they are...

I'll second that emotion.
