Arai Signet X & Arai Quantum X Helmet Review

When it comes to motorcycle helmets, Arai is a name that is synonymous with excellence. As a follow-up to their industry-leading older siblings, the Signet-X and the Quantum-X helmets come to the game positioned for the street rider looking to get the most out of their miles. Both the Signet-X and Quantum-X are built with Peripherally Belted - Super Complex Laminate Construction for performance and affordability. Both helmets also feature VAS (variable axis system) shield systems which allows shield opening and closing with the 24mm lower shield mount position. Additional features include a VAS Max Vision face shield, cheek pads with emergency release tabs, and a removable neckroll.

Good video. I just recently bought this helmet to replace my old Profile. There's one thing I feel I should mention about this video. Arai says in their manual not to directly pull the chin cover out as was shown at 9:40. Instead, they say to rotate it 2cm to the left, then pull. Otherwise, the clips inside could be broken. Just a heads up for those who own or plan on owning this helmet...

I've had Shoei helmets before I bought a Signet-Q. My long oval head shape makes the Signet's fit perfect for me. The eyebrow vents are amazing when it's hot outside. Never once did I notice any whistling with the outgoing model. I'm glad to see a removable chin curtain being added in this new version. I'll be sticking to this lid for many many years to come. I do wish Arai was more adventurous with their color schemes and designs like Icon is.

quantum x is great. Upgraded from an airmada. I drove up to Philly to your boutique. amazing customer service. you guys should open more around the usa.

I’m intermediate oval and the quantum still fit pretty comfortable, the signet was a little tight on the sides. So if you’re looking for one of these as an intermediate oval and don’t like the look of the defiant x the quantum might just do it for you

THANK YOU <3 FINALLY A COOL ROUND HEAD HELMET!!! NOW JUST PLEASE MAKE SOME COOL DESIGNS LIKE THE HJC!! Radical and cool graphics!!

Great vid and helmet, but please send longer on removing and replacing the shield, thanks!

I love my RF-1200, it looks great and very comfortable but Im digging all the little upgrades these Arai's have over the Shoei. I guess its the next step up.

[potatokaiyote]

I got a big head, tried on Icons and AGV but the Arai really got the fit and comfort down

When he's trying to remove and re-install the visor I kept thinking, "Cocaine is a hell of a drug"

[Brenby]

Using a Shoei RF-SR now, but I've figured out that I'm a Long Oval. When I buy a Signet-X, I'm going to stick some "<---- Emergency Cheek Pad Release Under Chin Skirt" labels on the bottom. Arai should do that already.

[Tooltrocity]

Nice! Hopefully they update the XD-4 as well. Got my eye on it for sure.

I found that the Signet Q was the only helmet that fit my head. Is the X an exact copy in shape to the Q? If not, can you recommend another helmet that has that extreme oval shape? I heard maybe the Simpson Ghost Bandit. Thanks for the great video!

I have 2 RX-Q's that have been like pillows on my head, but the Quantum-X didn't fit at all, I had such a bad pressure point on my forehead and had to move to the Signet-X. The Corsair-X was about the same fit as the Quantum-X.

Man that aluminum silver is such a sexy color

I just got my quantum x about 2 weeks ago. I'm wondering if there's a real noticeable difference between the quantum x and the Japanese quantum j? I'm Asian myself and my head is really round. I found that the quantum x really was pushing the sides of my head in to where it was very uncomfortable. I was actually debating if I wanted to return it or not but tried to break it in as best I could. I decided I had to take some foam out of the liner by the temples and that did relieve some pressure. I knew my head was really round going into looking for helmets but it seems like the quantum x is the only option for round helmets in the US.

All you fortunate people out there with intermediate-round heads, you get to pick any helmet from 150 dollars to 800 dollars.
The long-oval types? About one brand and one lid, costing north of 600.
Please Scorpion, HJC, A LONG-OVAL MODEL under 500!!

[rnlot]

@revzilla is the Quantum X the same as Quantum J for the Asia market?

[LifesAMezz]

I've owned mine for a few weeks and the top front vents are coming off, so that is kind of disappointing.

[halohalos]

I fit perfect on a medium with the shoei qwest. I'm assuming a medium in the quantum x would be a good match? Or should I go with a small?

[CaffeineFreak]

which would be quieter? the signet Q pro tour, or the signet X? ive read about people that went from the signet q to the x and said the x was louder despite the "upgrades"... none of the things i read mentioned the pro tour model exactly, but they are pretty much the same as the base Q
