Great comparison video Braddah. I can't believe the vent covers for the AGV. Arai is King after all these years. I appreciate and value your enthusiasm for sharing your input.

Been riding all my life and had used almost all the major brands but shied away from Arai simply because of cost. But over the past few years have been getting better helmets. Last one was the AGV full carbon modular. Great helmet but uncomfortable even after break-in. Had the Shoei Marquez and that was decent. Just got the Arai Corsair-X Nicky Hayden Laguna and I LOVE IT! It is the most comfortable fitting helmet I have ever worn (45+ years of riding) out of the box. Also as you correctly stated, it vents like a monster! Much better venting than anything else I have worn. Thanks for the review and agree with all your points.

sounds like you have a rounder head. I have to wear japan market arai to get comfortable. I can’t even stuff my head in an AGV.
@jackyff83 ай бұрын
I have the exactly same 3 helmets with the exception of the Arai being an old RX-7, to be honest, the X15 is the best out of the 3. AGV looks the best but is the most unfriendly to use out of the bunch. Arai and Shoei are both equally super comfortable. If I only could pick one. Shoei X15 hands down.

I've worn AGV K3, Xlite X802, Scorpion Exo R1 Air and the Arai Rx7x. So far the Arai is the favorite and got that overall good features. So sold the others and left with the Arai. Just bought X15, have been hearing good reviews about it, so let me see how it compares to the Arai... been dreaming of the Pista GP, but its too expensive from where i'm from... appreciate your video..

Bro, how does the Shoei X15 compare to the Arai? If you had to keep only 1 helmet for casual + occasional sporty rides, which helmet would it be? Appreciate your thoughts in advance brother
@fahrolfadhlijaafar54746 ай бұрын
@CountGreffi so having worn the x15 for few months now (on trackdays and weekend rides), it does give a better vision when you're tuck in your bike looking up on the road, but it does not gives you a good view on the side checking for blind spot, I think arai is better in the side view of the visor. Ventilation wise, arai is better. I think the shoei is quieter. It does feels bulky than the arai. I love them both, however I have soft spot for the arai.. Will depend on my mood on what to where and for what kind of ride I guess.. I am getting the pista gp soon which I bought used.. so will be interesting to see how that one feels..
@fahrolfadhlijaafar54746 ай бұрын
@@MonsieurGuyI've worn both during trackdays and weekend rides.. both are good. Personally I prefer the arai because its smaller and feels like the helmets is one with your helmet. The shoei is a bit bulky, so I feel a bit odd and kinda feels like the shell is oversized (I wore a correct size btw).. However, I've ridden the arai for long tours (like whole day) and I get headaches, possibly due to it being fit on the head.. I didn't get this with the shoei, which is interesting, and i did my shoei helmet fitting before purchasing it.. so kinda depends what you wanna use it for.. I love both of them, and will wear depend on the mood.. both looks great..

That RF-1200 sounds like it is getting to the point of needing replacement, if you go by the Shoei recommendations. Can always get a RF-1400 if you wanna save some money. But Arai is a great brand, nothing to be scared of. However, the X-Fifteen is an amazing helmet also.

Arai corsair x is a track helmet actually. If you want something more suitable for the street from the arai brand there is some othe models that fit better for that purpose for example contour x, quantum x or signet x for name a few.

Oh totally agree, the Corsair-X is that top of the line apex predator helmet from Arai. Because I ride at the track often, I typically compare helmets that can do both functions. But yeah, I really like that new Arai Contour-X. It looks great for a road helmet.
