The Arai Helmets Quantum-X Helmet in Pearl Black combines a refined round oval fit with advanced protection, ventilation, and rider-focused comfort. Part Number 0101-17534 is designed for riders whose heads are slightly wider from side to side rather than elongated front to back. Its interior liner uses thicker front and rear pads with thinner side pads to provide a secure, comfortable fit while supporting long-distance riding and everyday use. The helmet’s Egg Shape design is enhanced by the installed water-repellent ES Chin Cover, which helps smooth airflow beneath the helmet, reduce wind noise, and improve ventilation from the mouth area.
The VAS shield system is engineered to improve both usability and impact performance. Its larger latch supports intuitive shield operation and includes a de-mist function, while the improved VAS latch securely captures the shield to help prevent unexpected opening. The Variable Axis System lowers the shield pivot point by an average of 24 mm, creating a smoother shell surface through the critical temple area. This design helps improve glance-off ability by reducing the potential for impact energy to enter the helmet. The included VAS-Max Vision shield accepts a VAS-MV Pinlock lens, and a Pinlock 120 MaxVision lens is included to help reduce fogging in changing riding conditions.
Airflow is managed by QVF three-position intake ducts and QVR exhaust ducts, providing effective air intake and heat removal. The side vent continues functioning as an exhaust vent even when the top duct’s front shutter is closed, giving riders greater control over ventilation. FCS Cheek Pads use a contoured shape, multiple foam densities, and a supportive foam spring to cradle the face, simplify helmet removal, and help block wind noise. The Peripherally Belted Super Complex Laminate Construction shell combines multiple materials and manufacturing techniques for a balanced blend of performance and value. This Pearl Black Arai Quantum-X helmet is finished with premium features intended to support protection, comfort, visibility, and confident operation on the road.
