Arai Quantum-X Helmet - Wave - XL

The round oval shape of the helmet is achieved by using an interior head liner that combines thicker front and rear pads with thinner side pads, and it is designed for riders with slightly wider heads rather than elongated ones. This improved shape enhances the helmet's ability to deflect impacts. The Variable Axis System (VAS) shield system lowers the pivot point by an average of 24 mm, making the shell surface area in the critical temple area much smoother and better able to reduce impact energy getting into the helmet.

In addition, the improved shield latch captures and securely holds the shield closed to help prevent unexpected opening, and the larger latch allows for intuitive and seamless shield operation. The helmet also features QVF three-position intake and QVR exhaust ducts for excellent air intake and exhaust performance when riding. The side vent still serves as an exhaust vent even when the front shutter is closed on the top duct.

Furthermore, the contoured shape of the FCS Cheek Pads, combined with multiple layers of varying foam densities supported by a foam "spring," cradles the face and makes on-off easier while helping to block even more wind noise. The water-repellent ES Chin cover comes installed, enhancing the Egg Shape of the helmet. This chin cover smooths airflow, increases exhaust from the mouth area, and reduces wind noise coming up from below.

The helmet's Peripherally Belted - Super Complex Laminate Construction (PB-SCLC) shell design combines multiple materials and techniques that deliver both performance and affordability. Moreover, it comes with a VAS-Max Vision (VAS-MV) shield that accepts the VAS-MV Pinlock lens, as well as a ready-to-install Pinlock-120 lens.
