Review - Arai RX-Q

The Arai RX-Q is a new model Like the Arai Vector and the Corsair V Arai call the RX-Q an “Intermidate Oval” Shape. Here is our Arai RX-Q Review.

Arai markets the RX-Q as the “ultimate street helmet”  because it combines the safety and functionality of Arai’s full-blown race technology with the comfort needed for everyday street riding. Consider it the street savvy cousin of Arai’s Corsair-V.  

Arai claim that a shell with minimal number of angles and protrusions has better crash performance.  The Arai RX-Q upper vent scoops and rear exhaust covers are attached with double-sided tape so that these parts will tear away from the shell during a crash rather than being permanently fixed to the helmet and causing a rider’s head to twist during an accident.  Arai have made a deliberate effort to eliminate as many protuberances on the helmet shell and the face shield for this reason.  

Arai uses handmade fiberglass shells for their helmets claiming fibreglass can be designed to spread the load forces more evenly.  Arai also minimizes the number of pass through holes in the shell.

The hand made shell and advancements in technology allow Arai to use a smaller shell thus avoiding the “fish bowl” effect where the helmet on your head is far out of proportion to your actual head size.  

The liner fits like it was custom made.  The Arai RX-Q uses the same eye port configuration as the Rx-7 providing excellent visibility.   

The RX-Q has the same standard Arai face shield system with side pods that they have used for many years.  Arai’s snap ‘n’ hold system make the face shield is incredibly watertight because of the tight fit and full gasket.  

Arai technicians established that the best way to extract hot air from a helmet was by negative pressure and designed top mounted diffusers for this reason.  The helmet’s brow vents  push air onto the temples and works well.  

The helmet does not feel top heavy because it has a lower center of gravity from its smaller shell size and low weight.

The Arai RX-Q has a five year warranty and meets DOT and Snell 2010 safety standards.  

The benefit of this helmet is that you can count on Arai’s focus on safety for their ace helmets but you get all the comfort needed for miles upon miles of street riding.
