The Arai Quantum-X Helmet in Black Frost is designed for riders who need a comfortable, secure fit and dependable performance on the road. Its round oval interior shape uses thicker front and rear pads with thinner side pads, making it well suited to riders whose heads are slightly wider rather than elongated. The 2XL helmet includes a water-repellent ES Chin Cover that enhances the helmet’s egg-shaped profile, smooths airflow, improves exhaust from the mouth area, and helps reduce wind noise from below.
The Quantum-X features Arai’s Variable Axis System (VAS) shield system, which lowers the shield pivot point to create a smoother shell surface in the critical temple area. This design helps improve the helmet’s ability to glance off impacts while maintaining convenient shield operation. The improved VAS latch securely holds the shield closed and is sized for intuitive use, including easy operation of the de-mist function. A VAS-Max Vision shield is included and accepts a Pinlock 120 MaxVision lens, which is also supplied to help reduce fogging in changing riding conditions.
Ventilation is managed through QVF three-position intake ducts and QVR exhaust ducts for efficient airflow while riding. The side vent continues functioning as an exhaust vent even when the front shutter on the top duct is closed. FCS® Cheek Pads use contoured shaping, multiple foam densities, and a supportive foam spring to cradle the face, simplify helmet removal, and help block wind noise. The PB-SCLC shell combines multiple materials and construction techniques to provide a durable, performance-focused design. This Arai Quantum-X Helmet is identified by part number 0101-17662.
