5 Arai Helmets to Protect Your Noggin

Head Shots

When most of us think of Arai, we think of sportbike helmets worn at the race track. That’s only part of the picture. The high-end manufacturer also carries other styles including 3/4 helmets for us cruiser folk. If price isn’t an object when it comes to high-end motorcycle helmets, Arai is your huckleberry. The company prides itself on taking its lids to the absolute cutting edge of moto helmet technology and it shows. It doesn’t come cheap, though, and if you are more budget-minded, there are lots of other protective options on the market. Here are just a handful of styles Arai has to offer.

Arai applied the same tireless 24-7 focus devoted to its race helmets in designing the Quantum-X, refining and adapting proven concepts to a new purpose. On the rounder end of the head shape spectrum, the Quantum series has always been the “go-to” helmet of choice. The new Quantum-X brings that shape back in a feature rich package. Sizes range from XS to XXL.

Quiet, comfort, confidence, style. The Defiant-X delivers it all in an aggressive design wrapped around Arai’s legendary fit, finish and attention to detail. Sizes range from XS to XXL.

Sharing the same Intermediate Oval (I/O) interior shape as the Corsair-X, the DT-X also boasts features like the PB-cLc (Peripheral Belt – complex Laminate construction) shell, VAS shield system, Anti-Microbial interior liner material, and ten ventilation ports (comparable to both the Signet-X & Quantum-X) with the new top Dual-Flow vent design for improved intake and exhaust effectiveness regardless of head position. Sizes range from XS to XXL.

The original Arai SZ open face sport helmet was born in 1988. Now, 30 years later, the RAM-X comes with the VAS-Z Pro Shade System shield pursuing protection in an evolutionary form that strives for glancing off. The open face that evolves everything: ventilation, interior, liner, and shell, bringing even more comfort as a touring model. Sizes range from XS to XXL.

Heritage styling with modern luxuries. Traditional stitched faux leather edge trim. Faux leather interior accents. Behind the vintage look of the Classic-V are modern technologies. It also features patented hidden interior ventilation and, of course, Arai’s uncompromising level of quality and protection. Sizes range from XS to XXL.
