Arai, known for their premium quality motorcycle racing helmets, has a street riding helmet in their lineup: the Arai RX-Q. When Arai set out to make this helmet, they wanted to make it “The Ultimate Street Helmet.” They definitely succeeded.
The RX-Q is the ultimate helmet for street riding and sport touring. It is designed to be worn while riding in an upright position, unlike it’s “big brother,” the Corsair-V.
This tri-color graphic features a glossy red, white and blue design, paired with metallic trim. The vent panels and rear cowl are a transparent gray color. This helmet has the same SAI face shield as the Corsair-V, meaning wider peripheral vision: 5mm extra on each side to be exact.
The ventilation system built into the RX-Q is specially designed to allow air to flow through the helmet, all while still blocking out unwanted noise. More specifically, the brow vents redirect air to the temples rather than the forehead. The rear cowl and smaller side vent cowls work together to help minimize that vacuum-like feeling, as well as help stabilize the helmet. It also has an adjustable two-position chin vent.
The interior of the RX-Q is much different than other Arai helmets. This helmet’s padding is made with varying density foam for a comfort fit. Lower cheek pads on the RX-Q help with noise reduction.
This helmet has an Emergency Cheek Pad Removal system along with a removable neck roll. Note that this is an intermediate oval helmet. The Arai RX-Q is both Snell and D.O.T. certified.
