Arai RX-7V Evo - Diamond Black This helmet looks amazing also I’ve owned around 10 of these over the years. I do lots of track days and unfortunately I have tested the helmet on a couple of occasions and it does its job well.
Arai Tour X5 - Diamond Black Arai quality in my opinion is second to none fit and build are perfect for me I would never venture away from this brand.
Arai Tour X5 - Diamond White Excellent build quality, fit is pretty good, but seems to sit slightly lower over my ears than the Quantic, which I find strange. Visor is easier to open than the Quantic (which I still find difficult to open with gloves on). The vents work well and despite not having visor vents there’s no fogging with the Pinlock. Visor removal takes practice, however you don’t need a tool to do it. Mine came with a free race visor, so all in all good value. Overall I like the helmet, if I were to nitpick, the lack of internal dropdown sun visor is a pain, but Arai’s ethos is that it enables a stronger shell, so fair enough. The peak can go a bit wonky if knocked, but minor points tbh. Arai is a quality brand.
Arai Tour X5 - Trail Yellow Had the Tour x4 previously, this looks better especially with the visor removal and vents
Arai Quantic - Abstract Red If Arai helmets fit your head the quality, comfort and finish are the best.
Arai RX-7V Evo - Schwantz 30th Anniversary Got to be one of the most singular best helmets I’ve ever used for clear vision sound very light.
Arai VAS-V Type Max Vision Visor - Road Legal Spare visors are always a bit on the pricey side but I needed a replacement for my scratched and past its best original.
