Product Description

  • Arai threw limitations out the window and developed the RX-Q helmet to bring you quality and comfort unmatched in any of today's street bike helmets.
  • The Arai RX-Q helmet is formed by hand to better match the natural shell shape. This design gives the RX-Q helmet more stability at street speed and minimizes the negative aerodynamic effect when turning your head.
  • Experience told Arai that not all head shapes are created equal, so they designed the RX-Q helmet to match the Intermediate Oval (IO) shape. The IO shape is best suited for most people with dimensions greater front to back then side to side.
  • Super Complex Laminate Construction make up the shell of the RX-Q, which consists of a proprietary aerospace fiberglass developed by Arai.
  • Arai gave the RX-Q helmet a wider peripheral eyeport, also found on the elite Corsair V helmet.
  • Where others skimp, Arai built the RX-Q helmet without cutting corners by adding the Hyper-Ridge Band and vent at the bottom to increase thickness and safety through durability.
  • Inside the Arai RX-Q helmet is a multi-density single piece EPS liner that optimizes energy dispersion.
  • Keeping you cool came with research. Arai found that re-directing the brow vents to channel fresh air to the temples and ear pockets decreases the temperature of blood flow to the brain.
  • Fresh air easily finds its way through the advanced ventilation on the RX-Q helmet with properly placed and sized vents.
  • A removable and cleanable vented neckroll adds customized protection to the RX-Q helmet.
  • Arai developed the emergency cheekpad release system found on the RX-Q helmet. If the helmet should ever need to be removed in an emergency the cheekpads can be taken out before the helmet is removed to reduce injury.
  • Wearing the RX-Q all day will go without problem, thanks to Arai's cozy liner that cradles the head rather then creating a pressure fit.
  • Lower road noise is achieved from the redesign of the cheekpads that create a better seal between the RX-Q helmet and your face.
  • To further lower noise coming from the road or motorcycle Arai added sound-deadening foam in the ear pocket of the RX-Q helmet.
  • Keeping your Arai RX-Q lid clean is simple with the removable and washable liner.
  • Arai developed the easy to use LRS shield removal that does not require tools to remove the shield for cleaning or replacement.
  • Side pods remain on the RX-Q helmet, as well as their other helmets, for a greater purpose then a clean look. The side pods continue the round shape and eliminate flat spots that could be less effective at dissipating impact energy.
  • Meets or exceeds D.O.T. and SNELL standards.

Love Arai x10 years!
This is my Second Arai Helmet. First helmet was an RX-7 Corsair Harada. Crashed bad (I literally was rolling up and down the side of a mountain, frame broke in two separate places), thanks to the helmet (and other gear), I survived to ride again. The RX line is awesome. Just like their predecessors, the RX-7 Corsair. Can't think of anything bad to say about Arai quality, fit, and style. The same quality as the Corsair V. Differences between the two are 1.) ventilation system (since the RX-Q is specifically made for the street, it provides better ventilation for stop and go riding.) With that being said, I don't ride on the track, nor have I used the Corsair V. But for $200 less then the Corsair V, that was the decision maker for me. 2.) The RX-Q vents aren't painted to match the helmet as opposed to the Corsair V. They are dark smoke plastic. But that's minor and the color is just about aesthetics. The RX-Q and Corsair V do share the same face shields and padding. I have an XS and fit is perfect. Of note, the only other helmets I have used are low end HJC's. So I can't really compare mid to high end helmets made by Shoei, AGV, Suomy, HJC, Scorpion and others.
