The Arai Helmets Quantum-X Helmet is designed for riders with a slightly wider, round-oval head shape. Its interior liner combines thicker front and rear pads with thinner side pads to provide a secure, comfortable fit. The Pearl Black finish delivers a clean, classic appearance, while the Large size supports riders seeking a properly fitted full-face helmet. Part number 0101-17537 identifies this specific Quantum-X configuration.
The Quantum-X features Arai’s Variable Axis System (VAS) shield system, which lowers the shield pivot point to create a smoother shell surface through the critical temple area. This design helps improve glance-off performance and supports effective impact-energy management. The improved VAS shield latch securely captures the shield when closed, while the larger latch provides intuitive operation and supports the shield’s de-mist function. The included VAS-Max Vision shield accepts a VAS-MV Pinlock lens, and a Pinlock 120 MaxVision lens is included for improved fog resistance.
Airflow is managed by QVF three-position intake ducts and QVR exhaust ducts for effective ventilation during rides. The side vent continues to function as an exhaust vent even when the front shutter on the top duct is closed. A water-repellent ES chin cover comes installed to enhance the helmet’s egg-shaped profile, smooth airflow, increase exhaust from the mouth area, and help reduce wind noise entering from below. Contoured FCS cheek pads use multiple layers of varying foam densities and a supporting foam spring to cradle the face, improve comfort during extended rides, simplify helmet removal, and help limit wind noise. The PB-SCLC shell combines multiple materials and construction techniques for a balanced combination of protection, performance, and value.
