Arai Quantum-X Black-Frost Motorcycle Helmet
Arai Quantum-X Black-Frost Motorcycle Helmet
The Arai Quantum-X in Black Frost is a plain finish with no graphic, laid down in Arai's matte frost rather than gloss, so the shell reads flat and even instead of reflective. Without highlights to carry the eye, the shape does the work: the smooth R75 crown, the VAS side pods, the IC Duct5 and Type-12 intakes across the brow and the ACR4 exhausts at the rear all show as form rather than shine. The Arai logo sits on the brow above the eye port. Brand new and never worn (new old stock), this helmet comes exactly as received, fully preserved in its original packaging with all included accessories.
The Quantum-X is the Round Oval member of Arai's VAS street family, sharing the Corsair-X-generation PB-ScLC (Peripherally Belted Super Complex Laminate Construction) shell in the R75 shape and the VAS (Variable Axis System) shield mechanism with its lower pivot and dual-function release lever. Airflow comes from IC Duct5 and Type-12 diffuser intakes up top, ACR4 exhaust ducts at the rear, and an ES chin cover that smooths air from below. The interior uses FCS cheek pads with emergency-release tabs, 5mm peel-away cheek and temple layers, a molded speaker recess, and a fully removable, washable liner. Round Oval fit for riders who find intermediate shells tight side-to-side, DOT and Snell M2015 certified, made in Japan. Note: Snell M2015 has been superseded by newer Snell standards; this helmet carries the certification current at the time it was built.

Specs & Features
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 24mm 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 24mm 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 & 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 Quantum-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 Quantum-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 Quantum-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.
