Arai Helmets

The perfect helmet is the one that fits best. It's particularly nice if that perfect fit is an Aria RX7 Evo. I've tried many different helmets over 35 years of motorcycling and nothing, absolutely nothing, compares to the quality of an Aria RX7 Evo. If you're in the market for a new lid I recommend you have a look at this one. The calibre of the materials used are simply luxurious. Premium product, 10/10 Arai.

What can I say? I've had a number of different branded helmets including most recently a Shoei GT Air2 which was excellent. This Arai goes beyond even that. The helmet is beautifully crafted, fits just superbly straight out of the box and the airflow is fantastic. With all inlets switchable the air is totally controllable too. As far as the depart red metallic paint job, we'll that is simply gorgeous too. As you might have guessed I am highly delighted and at £400 what a bargain for such a superb helmet. As always speed of delivery and the packaging from SBS was excellent too.

What a piece of kit!
Fit finish and quality of this helmet is fantastic I didn't want to go all in and spend 600 quid on a lid but when I saw it on sale I gave in and I'm not disappointed. The paint job is awesome too.
It fits my roundish head fantastic with contact all round I originally wanted the airoh commander but the shape is too long and rolls back and fourth on my head.
Only issue I had is there's no pinlock in the box so I forked out another 60 odd quid on a photochromatic one but I think the standard clear one wouldn't be a big ask when it goes for about 30 pounds!

My helmet history goes, Centurian, Shoei, Shoei, Bell, Arai, X-lite and now this Arai. I wanted a helmet with a peak to shade the sun, as I was often having trouble seeing anything in hedge lined single tracks at the end of the day. I visited SBS in Bristol to try on a few makes, but they didn't have the X4. Sure the Klim was nice and the Scorpion fitted well, but neither felt just just right for me. Then I tried a peakless Arai and that felt just perfect. The next day they had the Metallic Gun X4 on sale on the website and I jumped at it. The peak works as I had wanted, the ventilation is another plus for me and the finish is lovely. I don't notice any extra noise or the slight increase in weight over my previous X-lite. Yes, at 60mph the peak does grab the air a bit and the D ring is a little close to the padding, but it fits like a glove on my 61cm head and I'm very happy I chose it.
