Description
The Arai Corsair series has long been renowned as one of the most advanced, highest quality helmets available anywhere in the world.
It represents the culmination of the vast experience in helmet design and unwavering focus on rider protection. And with features like the ingenious VAS shield mechanism, dramatically improved air flow and ventilation and an antimicrobial Eco-Pure liner, the Corsair-X has certainly earned its place as Arai flagship model.
Design and protection:
- Intermediate Oval Shape - Designed for the rider whose head has a front-to-back dimension that is longer than the side-to-side dimension. This is a neutral head-shape design which tends to fit most riders well
- PB-SNC2 shell with Super Fiber and other special synthetic fibers - Very light and strong construction with superb tensile strength and flexibility
- Famous Arai R75 overall organic helmet shape - Long-tested and well-accepted design to absorb the most energy during an impact
Comfort:
- FCS cheek pads (Facial Contour System) - Multiple layers of varying foam densities supported by a "spring" foam, giving extra comfort to the lower jaw and cheeks
- ES chin curtain - Accentuates the egg-shaped form of the shell, blocking turbulent air from entering the underside (working with a pull-down spoiler)
- Interior lining - Odor resistant, antimicrobial, soft and fully removable
- Peel-Off layer of 5 mm - Removable inner layer for a custom fit, giving more comfort
- Adjustable head liner - Different height levels for a custom fit
Ventilation:
- Chin vent shutter - Closable gate in front of the center vent to block out colder wind (can be opened in warmer weather)
- Diffuser Type 12 - Newly developed air diffusing top vent, 20 mm longer than the previous design to improve stability and airflow
- Other air intakes - Around the cheeks and brow vents
- Cowl exhaust vent - Sculpted directly into the rear shell shape for optimal aerodynamic characteristics
- Other air exhaust - Sides and neck with aerodynamic stability
Shield:
- VAS shield mechanism (Variable Axis System) - Notorious moving pilot point allowing for a lower shield mount position
- Dual-function lever - Removable cover plate and shield pin for a quick-release shield
- Improved VAS shield de-mist latch - Captures and securely holds the shield closed to help resist unexpected opening
- VAS Max Vision shield - Large-visibility visor with two highly efficient brow vents
- Pinlock lens insert (included!) - Clear anti-fog lens absorbing moisture, perfect for colder seasons
Other Features:
- ERS (Emergency Release System) - Integrated bright pull tabs inside the cheek pads for an easier access to an injured rider
- Speaker pockets inside the cheek pads
- Double D-ring strap
- Compatible with the Arai Pro Shade System
- DOT and Snell M2020 certified
Note: Head liner, cheek pads, neck roll and chin curtain are removable. All parts can be cleaned with lukewarm water and gentle soap.

First two months of wear
First, Canada's Motorcycle did a great job of selling and shipping this helmet. I've never actually had a helmet not worn before and that arrived in my hands only 4 months after its manufacture!
The helmet - I've had approx. 6 Arai helmets in the past. They fit me better than other brands. I ride a little over 20 000 km annually, both work and pleasure, so my helmet is critical in protection and comfort.
I chose this model as my exp. with previous Corsairs was very good, and I wanted to continue to be able to wash the liner and replace different parts as necessary, and other models/brands don't always allow this. Take care of your shell/styro-liner, and the rest can be renewed.
My experience: (remembering that this is quite new, so the padding etc. is at its thickest)
It feels a bit lighter than the prev. Corsair V helmets = great. (And this is an XL size!)
The helmet fits notably more tightly in passing over your head, then feels true to size once settled.
The width of vision is slightly, though notably wider = excellent.
The "comfort" is the same as my previous Corsairs = the fit to various parts of my head, pressure, warmth and ventilation (I ride year-round) and noise levels (~ unchanged to slt. quieter from previous Corsair V models).
I would appreciate more available ventilation from the wide variety of controllable vents etc. - I think that a vent opened wide should feel appropriate only in very hot weather and so partial closures would also be used. Currently, I keep pretty well all of the vents wide open all the time, so more airflow volume would be valuable.
I like the appearance and the manufacture, materials and finish is excellent (plain white).
I love the rear wing, though I'm not sure it does much at different settings and riding positions.
So my only carp is regarding the new chin cover or curtain, that sits over the chin air spoiler. It is a light weight, woven synthetic, slightly air-penetrable fabric that crosses the front 2-3" of the helmet's head opening, not touching but extending back about 2 - 3" of your chin/ upper neck. Arai explains its value in the website etc., and of course you can remove it.
I find that in cooler temps. where breath condensation is possible (> 90% of Canadian riding), the curtain significantly inhibits breathing down and away from the visor and more significantly, your glasses, if you are unfortunate enough to wear them.
I may wind up removing the curtain, but commentors in other sites have noted that this can make the cheek pads sit slightly farther away from your face, necessitating the purchase of thicker pads to refit correctly, which would be annoying.
The rubber rand around the bottom of the helmet is now continuous which is much better - no ends to come adrift after years of use and flap in the wind! Seems also a bit thicker.
All of the fabric covers inside can be removed and washed - very big deal.
Removing the visor is always a bit of an Arai-diddle, but the new method is, actually, easier than the Corsair V, and encourages you to clean/lube the hinge etc., which is good for high use people like me.
The Pinlock adapted visor works well and I've had great experience with their visor-liners before - very glad to see the Pinlock come as stock.
Yes, this is an expensive helmet - no I won't engage in the infinite arguments from those who don't buy Arai! I recognise that there are other good manufacturers out there - but Arai fits me better than the others. I don't feel superior with an Arai on my head, just comfortable and happy!
For some scientifically valid info on the performance of many helmets by actual impact tests in a gov. lab, see the SHARP helmet testing website at http://www.sharp.direct.gov.uk - the Corsair X doesn't yet appear to be there yet, though international naming is confusing. This website is awesome for real-world, basic impact assessment, but doesn't yet cover how the shell etc. protect from glancing blows, and actual penetrative and destructive effects - where the shell design and material really matters.
So, this is a wonderful lid!

Nothing But Arai For Me... Ever!
This is my third Arai helmet, replacing my Arai Corsair V. I've crashed in both of my previous ones. In my first crash, I had a get off that I hit my head so hard on the concrete, that I literally bounced all the way back on my feet! My side pod was smashed, and my visor was flapping from the other side. Nevrmind that my Arai saved my life, but I walked away without even a headache! I looked at the damaged shell and I could see that that the fractures spread a hundred different ways, so you can imagine how much shock was absorbed by the shell. From that moment on, I will never get on a motorcycle with another helmet again. My second get off, was on my Corsair V and it was a slider. My visoro took most of the damage, but when I took the helmet apart, I couldn't see even a little bit of structural damage, so I kept riding with it for another 10 years lol.
Now, to the review of this new Corsair X. I loved my V in every way, so this helmet lives up to all those standards and more. I love the new visor changing system, and it really is so much quieter! I wasn't buying the hype before I got this, because I've always lived with the loudness from my old Arai's and it's never really bothered me. Keep in mind, I've only owned an HJC before and that was about 15 years ago, so I don't know what other brands are like for loudness. Being honest, my V felt more plushy and comfortable, but this one feels more sturdy. The one issue I have with the X, is that I found it fogged up much more than my V did. I decided to change the nose guard from my Corsair V, and problem solved! The old nosed guard is more pointy, and jusyt a smidgen higher, but it made all the difference in the world when it came to fogging up.
In conclusion, it doesn't have to be the Corsair, but if you value your head, then go withi! Nevermind it saving my life multiple times, but the fact that I didn't have a concussion makes it worth the extra money. Also, because of the high cost, you do get extrastreet cred for having one (lol).

Excellent helmet!
Super happy with this helmet. The obvious reason one buys an Arai is for the fit so make sure you try all the different shapes (the Corsair is intermediate oval). I spent the money because it fit the best (and has an awesome reputation should you need it). Airflow is good. Sound is moderate/loud. Weight is super light. Visor change and open mechanism is solid. Visor comes pinlock equipped with an insert. Graphic and finish are awesome.

Arai Corsair-X with amazing IOM TT design
The quality and feel of this helmet is outstanding, just as I expect it from an Arai. The latest Corsair-X is definitely a premium product. I use Arai helmets since many years and won’t ride with any other helmet. With my last Arai I had an accident on track, striking a wall with 170 kph. The helmet is garbage after that of course, but I didn’t even have a concussion. That made my decision, buying the top model from Arai easy. Great that we have with FortNine a dealership in Canada with a wide range of Arai helmets with fast delivery and no extra costs for US shipments.

Amazing helmet
I just bought this helmet a few weeks ago. I've o ly used it once due to weather. Quiet and very comfortable. Happy it came with the pin lock visor. My only complaint is that at this price rand that it did not come with the pro shade system. I've seen it on cheaper models. Just did that at 1000$ it wouldn't have all the bells and whistles. Other then that helmet is fantastic.
