[@foxtrotgolf5698]

Van goes to details like no one else. Best reviewer on youtube. God Bless you Brother.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

God Bless you as well and thank you for watching! - Van

I love Arai. My daily lid, the vector 2 is almost 10 years old and about to be retired and condition of the liner is just as form fitting and comfortable as when I first broke it in. Top quality. This is the perfect replacement for my daily helmet.

[@davidburns7905]

I tried this on today and totally agree with how it feels. Great review thanks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Super comfortable helmet for sure. - Van

[@anthonycapirichio3957]

Same....I tried it on and said the same thing...I went from a shoei rfsr and was thinking between shoei 1200 1400 GTair Agv k6.....K6 lightest thing I’ve ever put on my head...comfort just not there....1200 felt like I expected....1400 and gt air same.....guy walked over and said try this one....done deal...wow...for me this is the most comfortable thing I ever put on my head

[@sportbiketrackgear]

IMO this is Arai's best fitting helmet. - Van

[@josedeltoro7453]

I have had my regent x for a few months now. Its a great helmet but very noisy. I find myself always going back to my shoei rf-sr.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

More ventilation = more noise. Try a set of ear plugs, that should help quite a bit. - Van

[@adamantium5988]

Swapped my Shoei GT-Air for this helmet, the GT-Air is comfortable but this is even better, my head is 58 cm and a medium fit perfect, can not recommend this helmet enough, it is not as quiet as the GT-Air but I wear plugs anyways

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I am also 58cm and wear a medium This helmet is crazy comfortable for sure. - Van

[@cycleholicsanonymous]

Completely understand Arai not wanting to compromise the shell with a drop down visor. However, at a premium price point they need to pony up and pay transitions for their technology instead of their solution that creates noise. I love Arai, but it’s hard to justify the price they charge today. A Corsair X is sold in Japan for over $400 less than it is here in the states. If Shoei can do it for a $200 difference with the X-14, I’d think Arai could as well. Not sure if it’s Arai America or TR who sets the pricing, but they need to re-evaluate.

[@roger21087]

Pinlock makes a transition lens for arai helmets. Just purchased one for mine last week and it works great. Purchased direct from pinlock for 65 USD shipped

[@shanefrank3281]

@@roger21087 How did you purchase from them? I don't see any way to purchase anything on their website and they only list Arai as a distributor in North America and Arai doesn't have the transition pinlock.

[@TheWobbinator1]

Transitions has an exclusive contract with Shoei, at least in NA. Bell has protint, but it is specifically NOT transitions, it's by a different company.

[@eugeniustheodidactus8890]

All the other reviews omit the external pro shield.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Arai absolutely refuses to use a drop down inner shield in their helmets as they feel it compromises safety. Their commitment to their philosophy and rider safety is admirable for sure. - Van

[@unkindguy88]

I wear large shoei rf 1200, tried quantom-x small, fits perfectly. should sell my helmet and buy the arai instead?

[@josedeltoro7453]

Nice helmet but for that price it doesnt come with a breath guard or a pinlock.

[@Mrproper86]

I won't buy another helmet without a removable liner. All liners will fail and the padding falls apart after a while.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would have preferred to see a fully removable liner on this one as well. - Van

[@TRU_Lunchy]

Hey Brian, do you plan on allowing customer photo reviews in the future on your store? I think that would help you and us (the customers).

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We have a ton of projects in process now but will keep this in mind. I like this idea. - Van

[@stevenlazarus6726]

when was the 2020 snell rating put on the Regent X. I got a Regent X made in January 2019 and the snell rating is 2015. The next time they made the Regent X was 8-19 does that model have the 2020 snell rating?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The Regent-X we used for this review was manufactured 10/19 and has the 2020 Snell cert. I had a call with Arai a couple weeks ago where talked about 2015 v 2020 and I was told the helmets are the same. No changes necessary to comply with 2020. - Van

[@stevenlazarus6726]

Thanks for the reply

[@DatBoyKickz]

I know this is around the price of a RF 1400 which would you choose/recommend ? ( Arai Regent - X or Shoe RF 1400 )

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Both are excellent helmets for sure. With the Shoei you will get a fully removable, replaceable liner as compared to the Arai which only offers replacement of the cheek pads. While these two helmets are very close to one another I would say the overall quality of the Shoei is a touch better. - Van

[@HI-os2pm]

Hi Brian! After how many years needs to be replaced a helmet like this? On most helmets 5 years the liner life time.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I like to replace them 5 years from the date they were first used. - Van

[@fahadalzahrani9989]

you recommend these helmet for the bmw gs1250?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Yes I would say this helmet will work well on that bike. Most of the full face helmets on the market will work well on most any style of bike. - Van

[@chakrapanid6089]

Sir which Arai helmet is the best in terms of ventilation...I am looking for a road/ touring oriented lid with lots of ventilation for use in hot humid and dusty conditions of India where summer temperatures often reach 40 deg centigrade plus.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The Corsair X Helmet offers the most ventilation of all the helmets in the Arai catalog. - Van

[@chakrapanid6089]

Thanks for your response

[@MattHammer_]

Is this the frost grey or modern grey color way?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This is the gun metal frost color. - Van

[@MattHammer_]

@@sportbiketrackgear thank you !

[@tallgeese88]

What's the other helmet, man? Orange/green one.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

That is a discontinued graphic, forget the name now. - Van

[@tallgeese88]

@@sportbiketrackgear understood. I'm curious about the model name though

[@coloradomoto3001]

@@tallgeese88 that’s the Defiant! I still have one in diamond white. Outstanding helmet with great ventilation and good looks, I wish they still offered it.

[@adamantium5988]

Brian, apart from the wider opening what other Arais fits the same as this helmet?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The Corsair-X will have a very similar fit to this helmet. - Van

[@kevinreitan536]

how does this compare to the size charts? I have been on the hunt for a new helmet, but Arai doesn't make the Signet in 3xl anymore. An Arai rep suggested i look at the Regent in XXL, I know the know the corsair X doesn't fit.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

IMO if you can not get a good fit from the Arai Corsair X the Regent X will not fit you either. They offer a pretty similar fit. - Van

[@kevinreitan536]

@@sportbiketrackgear good news is the Regent does fit. i think my issue with the corsair was mostly getting my head past the opening/neckroll. Local shop had an instore only sale going, or i would have ordered from you guys,

[@seahunter75]

I purchased this helmet in the modern grey and cant find a store that sells a dark visor online. What do I look for? are all "x" model visors the same? will a signet-X visor fit this helmet?

[@stefangiurgila7807]

I'm thinking of this helmet or the AGV K6 but its a hard decision. The Agv K6 i found one for sale for $280 or the Arai Profile v for $390. Not sure which is better, because they both feel good but i heard someone say the Arai is louder but its also better as its way easier to put on What would you recommend at the price points i said?? Thanks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I am not familiar with the Profile V as we are in the US. Looks like this is the same model as the Regent just for EU. IMO they are both excellent options. I have not ridden in either of these helmets to date so I can not say which is louder. - Van

[@stefangiurgila7807]

@@sportbiketrackgear Yeahh. Thanks anyways. Ended up getting the Agv.

if im large in rpha 11 hjc what size would for me in arai ?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If you are getting a good fit from the RPHA 11 Pro in a large I would suggest a size large in the Arai Regent-X. IMO they offer a pretty similar fit. - Van
