Arai Corsair X Helmet Review from Sportbiketrackgear.com

[@MOTO2N]

Arai is the only helmet I'll wear on the street/track. Period. BUY ONE FROM STG!!!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Appreciate that! - Van

[@moultriet.3262]

Does the arai sit close to the mouth?

[@soylientgreen8618]

I like that adjustable spoiler on the back,, those spoilers help holding up your head at top speeds. and I can see where I might want to put the spoiler effect away,, cool.thanks for the show good show,,,

[@soylientgreen8618]

i am torn between shoe and aria corsair x .. which shoe helmet would be the top level shoe for road racing condition,, the comparable to the arai corsair x? im pretty sure i have already decided on ARAI CORSAIR X,, I KNOW ONE FACT USUALLY YOU GET WHAT YO PAY FOR,,,, im afraid i know the answer to my question,, so im asking ,,whats the difference between the corsair x and shoe top level racing helmet, sound fit feel venting durability, we already know the y all passed safty test.. i want to tare the two down side by side,,? is it worth paying double .?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The Shoei X-14 is the top end road racing offering from Shoei. It is a great helmet, just not an Arai. - Van

[@soylientgreen8618]

Hey thanks STG. You guys rock. You are definitely my top go to see what is best. Thanks I like your honest advice.. I figured it was a you get what you pay for here except the shoie x14 helmet is not cheap. It's no arai Corsair x. I have heard arai and s the top helmet now for thirty years. So I pretty much made a dissision before asking I just wanted to hear from you your thoughts. What's the difference? . High speed sound? I imagine is one.. maybe fit feel ? Friction ? Wind torque? Out side of safety certs. . What's the big difference because it's not price. A couple hundred bucks really isn't enough to make price . I watched all your videos and I agree arai has spent it's time money on perfecting a good thing. I don't know why I'm still juggling between the two. I've already made my dissision decades ago . I wish I could actually find a place that I can try both hand in hand. You have the best job..

[@soylientgreen8618]

Thanks for all the great shows van good info

Rarely you see Brian being less enthusiastic in reviewing a product, but I feel you Brian. The new X's shield change system is not my favorite as well. I prefer the old one. I even made a youtube video on the SAL/SAI shield change based on your teaching :D

[@jonp5338]

+khairullhafiz Another rider from Sacramento, CA. told me that over the weekend but I prefer this newer system myself.

[@GoldenRoseRecords]

Hey Brian I am thinking about purchasing one of your arai helmets but I am stuck between the arai quantum and the arai cosiar. Which would be the best for street riding and be worth the money?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The fit is different between these two helmets. The Corsair-X is an intermediate oval (most common shape here in the US) and the Quantum-X is a round oval. Most helmets on the market offer an intermediate oval fit. Odds are the Corsair-X is the one you will end up needing. - Van

[@moultriet.3262]

Mr Van. I really want to try this lid. Prefer lids that aren't super close to my mouth. How would you rate the arai in that area?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would say the Arai leaves me an adequate amount of space in the chin bar area. The Shoei X14 has a little more room. - Van

[@moultriet.3262]

@@sportbiketrackgear awesome. Would you say the bell race star also offers little more room in the chin bar?

[@panos3505]

Is this helmet only suitable for sportbikes or for touring too? I mean sportsbike body stance which is a little forward

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This helmet will be great on a sportbike, touring bike or a cruiser IMO. End of the day this helmets provides a ton of protection with a great overall experience for the rider. - Van

[@atomicorang]

Great presentation Brian.. Looking to replace my current 5 year old Suomy with an Arai.. I'll date myself.. Very first primo helmet I owned?...Spencer Replica Arai Signet from 1985..Still have my Doug Chandler Arai stays on a shelf.. I love the Joey Dunlop replica but it doesn't match my Eddie Lawson Replica ZRXS1Lime green.. I still could because " yer Maun" was an icon and a genius

[@agro6821]

I like the old shield system also this new one seems to be a bit fiddley.

[@marc105]

is that the same.. arai corsair x and arai rx7x... and i have round head shape... is that good for my head if i use arai corsair x or rx7x?

[@aswardon]

they are mostly the same, just lil bit diffrent on fit.. 7X fit more round..

[@NeptuneBluez]

Van, does the fit of the new Corsair X differs from the Corsair V? How would you describe it? Thanks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

+Neptune Bluez Funny you ask I just rode in them both back to back this week and we will have a full video comparing the two and outlining the benefits. I have to admit it is better than the previous generations for sure. What really surprised me was how much quieter it was. - Van

[@NeptuneBluez]

+Sportbike Track Gear I look forward to watch your upcoming video review. Kind regards from Switzerland.

Do you know if there are more graphics coming besides the 3 racer reps already shown??

[@sportbiketrackgear]

+Jeff Barnard We will see more in the Spring of 2016 I am sure. - Van

[@fatkhetburnell]

No free shipping to Hawaii and Alaska on a $800+ helmet? I guess RevZilla gets my order.

To those who had trouble with the old way to swap a shield on an Aria. I pray you didn't work for NASA. Little Caesars would be good for you.

Why Americans speak like that?? You should see from time to time the BBC.
