The Arai Quantum-X Helmet is designed for riders seeking a refined combination of protection, comfort, ventilation, and everyday usability. This Oriental Black Frost helmet features a round oval interior shape created with thicker front and rear head liner pads and thinner side pads, making it well suited for riders whose heads are slightly wider rather than elongated. The carefully shaped interior helps provide a secure, comfortable fit for extended rides, while the contoured design supports easy helmet removal and helps reduce unwanted wind noise.
The helmet incorporates 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 capability and supports more effective energy management during an impact. The improved VAS shield latch securely captures the shield when closed to help prevent unexpected opening, while its larger design allows intuitive operation. 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.
Ventilation is managed through QVF three-position intake and QVR exhaust ducts, providing effective airflow through the helmet while riding. The side vent continues to function as an exhaust outlet even when the front shutter on the top duct is closed. FCS® cheek pads use layered foam densities and a supportive foam spring to cradle the face, improve comfort, and simplify putting the helmet on or taking it off. A water-repellent ES chin cover comes installed to enhance the helmet’s egg-shaped profile, smooth airflow, increase mouth-area exhaust, and reduce wind noise from below. The PB-SCLC shell combines multiple materials and construction techniques to deliver dependable performance in a practical design. This Arai Quantum-X Helmet is part number 0101-17710.
