Shoei vs Arai - Who is better? RF1200 vs Quantum X

My Shoei RF1200 vs Arai Quantum X
My thoughts on why the Shoei is a better helmet.
The Arai is a larger shell than the Shoei
Arai is a XL
Shoei is a XXL

Nice film. I feel you maybe being a bit hard on the Arai: the visor doesn't need clicks because it stays exactly where you leave it and it's no trouble to lift with a gloved hand, I do it every day. It's also all-day comfortable. However, I want a second helmet (more out of boredom and curiosity than anything else) so I'm going to give Shoei a go. I like the sound of less noise as I can't be bothered with ear-plugs. See you down the road.

Awesome review! Just what I needed to know

Yeah, the Arai shape is a bit goofy looking, so Shoei for me!

[@EARP87]

Nice video 🤘

Thanks!!!

Looks like an advert for Shoei to me…..

[@CarlosVasquez]

I wish, then I would get paid for it. Just my opinion since I owned both. Shoei was a better helmet for me, the arai might be better for someone else. Both are great helmets anyways.

@@CarlosVasquez yes an opinion that's all it is

[@CarlosVasquez]

@@briantroxel3322 yah, I owned both..so sold the Arai..kept the Shoei because it was a better helmet for me. Maybe my info might help someone decide.

[@briantroxel3322]

@@CarlosVasquez my friend just bought a newer Arai, he said it was the best helmet he's ever had and he was a Shoei owner, we both are over 50 years old, so it's just personal preference that's all it is

[@CarlosVasquez]

@@briantroxel3322 Give him some time with it. He will start missing the Shoei.

Great video

[@CarlosVasquez]

Thanks Bob! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ralphcantrell3214]

I wasn't impressed with my last Arai either, certainly not to the extent that it cost me. I've owned helmets that were a 3rd the cost of that Aria that I liked better in almost every way.

[@CarlosVasquez]

Well same here, I was riding this weekend and was thinking how much better I like the Shoei over the Arai. Quieter, fits better, visor easy to open, and cuts through the air better.

[@ralphcantrell3214]

@@CarlosVasquez I know Arai is all about safety and fit over all else (and always fetching the highest prices the market will possibly bear). But this philosophy just isn't practical for everybody. Thanks for the video.

[@alexcidjavillonar7973]

I choose Shoei. Always .

[@CarlosVasquez]

Yes!! 100% yes!
