Signet X.
Purpose-built for the street. A new benchmark in comfort, quiet, stability, and ventilation. Arai applied the same tireless 24-7 focus devoted to their race helmets to designing it, refining and adapting proven concepts to a new purpose. On the long, narrow end of the head shape spectrum, the Signet series has always been the "go-to" helmet of choice. The new Signet-X exemplifies that shape in a feature-rich package.
Main Features:
- In addition to the de-mist function, the larger latch allows for intuitive and seamless shield operation.
- Features long oval shape, created by increasing the space of the EPS liner front to back and decreasing the space side-to-side, designed for riders with a narrow head and a more pronounced forehead.
- Peripherally Belted - Super Complex Laminate Construction (PB-SCLC) shell design combines multiple materials and techniques that deliver both performance and affordability.
- VAS latch captures and securely holds the shield closed to help prevent unexpected opening.
- Variable Axis System (VAS) shield mechanism was developed to enhance the shape of the shell.
- 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.
- Odor-resistant liner material resists build-up of bacteria and allows helmet to stay fresher for longer.
- Features QVF three-position intake and QVR exhaust ducts for excellent air intake and exhaust performance when riding - even when the front shutter is closed on the top duct, a side vent still serves as an exhaust vent Includes ready-to-install Pinlock-120 lens.
- Features water-repellent, removable ES chin cover, enhancing the egg shape of the helmet while increasing exhaust from the mouth area.
- FCS Cheek Pads - The contoured shape - combined with multiple layers of varying foam densities supported by a foam "spring" - cradles the face while helping to block wind noise.
- Comes with VAS-Max Vision (MV) shield that accepts the new VAS-MV Pinlock lens.
- SNELL M2020 / NHSTA DOT Certified.
- Notes: Helmet ships with a Clear face shield. Fluorescent finishes used in certain models of Arai helmets are not covered by warranty and may fade with the passage of time and exposure to the elements.
Signet-X Fit:
- Arai is the only company offering multiple interior-fit shapes to better address the infinite variety of riders' head shapes and sizes.
- No one pays more attention to the subtle variations and infinite possibilities of the human head shape than Arai. Why? Because it's the secret to getting the best comfort and fit.
- And Arai is nothing short of obsessed with putting you into the best fitting, most comfortable helmet possible - because that's who they are.
- The Signet-X has Arai's LONG OVAL (LO) interior fit shape. Exclusively made for the North American market, the SIgnet-X is longer front-to-back and a more narrow side-to-side (as compared to Intermediate Oval).
VAS Shield System:
- The Variable Axis System shield mechanism was developed to enhance the shape of the shell, but the easy to learn changing mechanism is what most people are raving about. Quick, easy and intuitive.
Improved Shield Latch:
- The VAS latch captures and securely holds the shield closed to help prevent unexpected opening. In addition to the de-mist function, the larger latch allows for intuitive and seamless shield operation.
Improved Glance Off Ability:
- The VAS pivot cover is now smaller and lower than the previous design, yielding an average of 24 mm more area above the cover. The shell is now smoother along the Snell test line in the temple area, thus increasing the helmet's ability to glance off objects during an impact.
- Compared with the shell of the Corsair-V, the smooth area around the temple is increased by an average of 24 mm on the new VAS model. Having a rounder, smoother, stronger shell to improve glance off ability.
PB-SCLC:
- The new Peripherally Belted - Super Complex Laminate Construction shell design combines multiple materials and techniques created internally by Arai that deliver both performance and affordability.
Duct Ventilation:
- In keeping with the "improve on what works" mentality at Arai, the new QVF and QVR upper ventilation ducts look familiar but offer more adjustment and better flow-through performance.
Chincover:
- The new water repellent ES Chincover comes installed on the Signet-X. Enhancing the Egg Shape of the helmet, the cover smooths airflow, increases exhaust from the mouth area and reduces wind noise coming up from below. Good for both cold and warm weather riding and is easy to remove and reinstall as needed.
Odor Resistant Liner:
- The odor-resistant liner material on the Signet-X resists the build-up of bacteria and as a result allows your helmet to stay fresher, longer, between cleanings.
VAS-MV Pinlock Anti-Fog Lens:
- The Signet-X comes with the VAS-MV (Max Vision) shield that accepts the new VAS-MV Pinlock lens. The new Pinlock-120 lens comes with the helmet in the box and ready to install.
