The Arai Helmets Corsair-X Helmet in the Schwantz 30th Anniversary design combines a performance-focused shell with rider-friendly ventilation and shield operation. Built for riders who demand dependable protection and a precise fit, this size 2XL helmet features an intermediate oval shape designed to suit many head shapes commonly found in the North American market. The Corsair-X uses a Super Fiber and special synthetic fiber shell construction to provide a strong, lightweight design with excellent glancing-off properties. Arai part number 0101-17592 identifies this distinctive anniversary model.
The PB-SNC2 shell incorporates Arai’s in-house Z Resin, which securely bonds the shell’s multiple layers and materials while using less resin. An internal Structural Net and Peripheral Belt add reinforcement with minimal effect on weight or shell thickness. The Variable Axis System shield mechanism uses a double-pivot trajectory to provide smooth operation with a lower shield mounting position. A larger latch is designed for intuitive use with heavy gloves, while the dual-function lever releases the side cover and shield pin for efficient shield removal. The shield includes a positive stop to help prevent unintentional opening, including in the de-mist position.
Ventilation and sealing are engineered for comfort in changing riding conditions. The Internal Air Channel system draws hot, moist air from the eye-port area through ducted channels behind the cheek pads and out through the side cowl vents, helping maintain airflow and reduce fogging. The IC Duct5 system uses a three-position slide gate to improve sealing and help reduce noise and water intrusion. Vents are lightly mounted to remain frangible in an impact, helping them detach rather than snag on obstacles or contribute to excess rotational force. With its recognizable Schwantz 30th Anniversary graphics, advanced shell construction, adjustable airflow, and smooth VAS shield system, the Arai Helmets Corsair-X offers a balanced combination of protection, ventilation, and everyday usability.
