The Arai Quantum-X Helmet in Wave graphics is designed for riders who prefer a round oval head shape, with an interior liner that uses thicker front and rear pads and thinner side pads for a balanced, comfortable fit. This Large helmet combines Arai’s proven shell design with refined ventilation, shield operation, and noise-control features for dependable performance on the road. Part number 0101-18600 identifies this specific Quantum-X configuration from Arai Helmets.
The Variable Axis System (VAS) shield system lowers the shield pivot point by an average of 24 mm, creating a smoother shell surface in the critical temple area. This design helps improve glance-off ability and supports more effective impact-energy management. The VAS latch securely captures the shield to help prevent unexpected opening, while its larger design supports intuitive operation and includes a de-mist function. The included VAS-Max Vision shield accepts a VAS-Max Vision Pinlock lens, and a Pinlock 120 lens is included to help reduce fogging in changing riding conditions.
Airflow is managed through QVF three-position intake ducts and QVR exhaust ducts, providing effective ventilation while riding. The side vent continues functioning as an exhaust vent even when the front shutter on the top duct is closed. Contoured FCS cheek pads use multiple foam densities and a foam spring to cradle the face, improve comfort during helmet removal, and help reduce wind noise. A water-repellent ES chin cover comes installed to enhance the helmet’s egg-shaped profile, smooth airflow, improve mouth-area exhaust, and reduce wind entering from below. The PB-SCLC shell construction combines multiple materials and manufacturing techniques for a strong, performance-focused design.
