- The RX-Q has an evolved version of Arai's very popular
Intermediate-Oval (IO) interior shape. Arai is the only company
offering multiple interior-fit packages to better conform to
consumers' head shape as well as size. Its interior fit shapes
evolve and improve as company research recognizes trends based on
consumer feedback. The RX-Q shape is similar to the current
Corsair-V and Vector models, and the former RX-7 Corsair, but the
RX-Q's shape represents a further refinement of interior shape
configuration based on Arai's continual comparison, measurement
and testing of human head shapes. Extremely wide peripheral view
for better visibility and awareness of the world around you. The
RX-Q uses the same new wider-eyeport SAI faceshield as the
Corsair-V. Benefits are immediately realized both by racers and
street riders alike, from an advantage over race competition, to
an advantage in traffic.
- A new level of stability, quiet, and comfort in a road
helmet.
- Arai's legendary, unrivaled comfort is improved even more.
The RX-Q's new cheekpad design further improves overall helmet
fit, comfort, and noise sealing. Its interior design is
influenced by F-1 drivers, the most demanding of all for fit -
the result is the RX-Q's newly-sculpted cheekpad shape cradles
your head and provides an even better noise seal to aid interior
quiet.
- Advanced Ventilation taken even further to combine more
efficiency with even less interior noise. The ability to further
refine proven designs to increase helmet performance proves that
you don't have to reinvent the wheel to make substantial
improvements. For example, the same number, position and similar
styling of intake and exhaust ports, but here refined, combined
and utilized to improve airflow and overall effect at road
speeds.
- Smaller, more aerodynamic, hand-formed natural shell shape
and size aids stability and stillness - not only in straight-line
wind-tunnel stability, but it also minimizes the negative
aerodynamic effect when turning your head to check traffic or in
a cross wind. And it looks better on your head than other bigger,
rounder balloon-style shell designs on the market.
- Uniquely-designed lower Hyper Ridge circles the shell bottom
to improve strength and aerodynamics. It's also designed to lower
the center-of-gravity for an exceptionally light feeling on your
head. And a larger bottom opening makes for easier on-off without
enlarging the helmet.
- New more aerodynamic upper and side exhaust vent cowling,
sculpted to enhance stability while increasing exhaust
efficiency. The side vent cowls are tailored to the needs and
speeds of the street. Compared to the C-V, the Q's cowlings are
larger and more aggressively styled, as lower street speeds
require more surface area and a more refined shaping in order to
deliver the increased stability. High speed performance is also
excellent. Brand new, one piece bottom edge trim, gives an
incredibly clean look by eliminating the need for seams.
Admittedly not a major innovation, but still another example of
Arai's unceasing attention to details and aesthetics.
- Arai's exceptional handmade craftsmanship, made to a higher standard of protection, comfort, and quality that's difficult to put a "price" on.
