Thread: Arai RXQ

Officially getting annoying.

A small blurb about it here:

Luxury Lids: New Street Models from Shoei and Arai

I've always said they need a GOOD road going helmet. My Corsair is GREAT but I HATE riding with it on the street. Way too loud, earplugs help but it would be nice to have a quiet helmet the eliminates a lot of unwanted road noise.

The description sounds nice, for whatever that's worth. I'm about to be in the market for a new lid, so I'll definitely have to check one out.

Introducing the Arai RX-Q

But does it rev to 17.5K?

I got to look over one of these the other day and actually fondle it - I think it may be my next Arai.

I would say the Corsair V is the direct competitor to the X12. The RXQ probably goes up against the RF1200.

I like Arai helmets, but it's a shame I rarely like any of their graphics.

The talon is not bad. Being in the south I want a helmet that is 50% white in the theme and blue My first Arai even had a wolf on the back to make me go faster. The X12 graphics are lame also
