The Arai Quantum-X Helmet in Aluminum Silver is designed for riders who want a comfortable, stable fit with advanced ventilation and shield performance. Its round oval interior shape uses thicker front and rear pads with thinner side pads, making it well suited for riders whose heads are slightly wider rather than elongated. The carefully contoured fit helps provide comfortable support for everyday riding, touring, and extended time in the saddle.
The Variable Axis System (VAS) shield system lowers the shield pivot point by approximately 0.94 inches, creating a smoother shell surface through the critical temple area. This design helps improve the helmet’s ability to glance off impacts while maintaining a secure shield interface. The improved VAS latch captures the shield firmly to help prevent unexpected opening, and its larger design allows intuitive shield operation while supporting 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.
Ventilation performance comes from the QVF three-position intake and QVR exhaust duct system, which promotes effective airflow during changing riding conditions. The side vent continues to function as an exhaust outlet even when the upper front shutter is closed. FCS cheek pads combine contoured shaping with multiple foam densities and a supportive foam spring to cradle the face, simplify helmet removal, and help reduce wind noise. A water-repellent ES chin cover comes installed to enhance the helmet’s aerodynamic egg shape, smooth airflow, increase exhaust from the mouth area, and reduce wind entering from below. The PB-SCLC shell combines multiple materials and construction techniques to deliver dependable protection and practical performance. This Arai Quantum-X Helmet is identified by part number 0101-18164.
