The Arai Helmets Quantum-X Helmet in Aluminum Silver (Part Number 0101-18167) offers an innovative fit tailored for riders with slightly wider heads, featuring a round oval shape achieved through a specialized interior liner with thicker front and rear pads and thinner side pads. This design enhances comfort while maintaining optimal helmet fit and stability during rides. Constructed with the Peripherally Belted - Super Complex Laminate Construction (PB-SCLC) shell, the helmet combines multiple materials and techniques to ensure durability, impact resistance, and affordability, making it suitable for a wide range of riding conditions.
The Quantum-X is equipped with the VAS-Max Vision (VAS-MV) shield that accepts the VAS-MV Pinlock® lens, including a Pinlock® 120 MaxVision™ insert for fog resistance. The Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the shield pivot point by approximately 24 mm, resulting in a smoother surface around the temple area that effectively reduces impact energy transfer and enhances overall safety. The improved shield latch securely holds the shield closed, reducing the risk of accidental openings and allowing seamless operation, even with de-mist functions engaged.
Ventilation is optimized with QVF three-position intake and QVR exhaust ducts, providing excellent airflow for thermal regulation. The side vent continues to function as an exhaust vent even when the top duct's front shutter is closed, promoting consistent cooling. The helmet also features FCS® cheek pads, which have a contoured shape supported by multiple foam densities and a foam spring, cradling the face comfortably while blocking wind noise. The water-repellent ES chin cover enhances the helmet’s aerodynamic profile, smoothing airflow and increasing exhaust from the mouth area to reduce wind noise.
Overall, the Arai Quantum-X combines advanced safety features, customizable fit, and superior ventilation to deliver a high-performance helmet suitable for demanding riders seeking comfort, protection, and clarity on the road.
