Perhaps the most fabled name in the entire Arai lineup, the Corsair has long been renowned as one of the most advanced, highest quality helmets available anywhere in the world. It represents the culmination of our 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 our flagship model.

VAS Shield System:

Normally the shield mounting position must remain relatively high, because a lower shield pivot will not allow the shield to open or close. The VAS (Variable Axis System) has a variable axis (moving pivot point). This allows shield opening and closing even with the 24mm lower shield mount position, compared to the Corsair V.

VAS Shield Latch System:

VAS shield latch system captures and holds the shield closed more securely to help prevent unexpected opening. In addition to a de-mist position, the larger latch design allows for an intuitive and seamless operation of the shield.

PB SNC2 Shell:

The Corsair X helmet shell is constructed from Super Fiber and other special synthetic fibers developed for F-1 helmet visor panels, assembled and bonded by Arai experts. A specially-developed resin creates stronger bonds between shell materials with less weight.

Diffuser Type 12:

The Corsair X Type 12 air diffusers are longer than the Corsair V and are straightened for improved aerodynamics, working together with the AirWing to improve stability, and creating a 19% gain in efficiency. The air intake vents are extremely adjustable and have three positions (closed, half open and fully open) and create a tight seal to decrease wind noise and water intrusion.

Eco Pure Liner:

The fully removable interior liner system is made from Eco Pure material, which helps maintain neutral acidity levels close to human skin and antibacterial consumption, as well as a softer liner material and adjustable temple padding to allow for a customized fit.

VAS V MV Shield:

The VAS MAX Vision shield is standard to provide better visibility in all seasons and for all types of riding and comes standard with a clear anti-fog Pinlock insert.

Interior Shape:

Intermediate Oval - This shape is 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.

Additional Features:

  • VAS (Variable Axis System) shield and side pods are exclusive to the Arai Corsair X Helmet
  • Dual function lever releases both the side pod and the face shield for quick and simple face shield removal
  • VAS shield latch system captures and holds the face shield closed and provides a de-mist position to slightly crack the shield open
  • VAS MAX Vision face shield provides excellent visibility in all seasons thanks to the included Pinlock insert
  • Neckroll is removable and has additional exhaust channels to remove interior heat
  • Cheek pads have the Emergency Release Tab feature
  • IC Duct5 forehead vent provides 11% more airflow than the Corsair V, features 3 positions and is overall large and easy to operate with gloves
  • PB SNC2 Shell has superb tensile strength due to a variety of carefully-positioned materials and light weight resin
  • Arai's R75 shell shape creates a rounder, smoother helmet to enhance energy and impact dispersion
  • Includes clear Pinlock insert
  • Snell 2015 and DOT approved

We recommend that you try on Arai helmets in-store to ensure an optimal fit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Arai Corsair X Dani Pedrosa Finally an update from Arai for Dani Pedrosa. This is an absolutely beautiful helmet. The colours, metallic and gloss are as excellent as all Arai helmets. Shape is unmistakable Arai and have that race appearance. The neck-roll is quite tight, but once fitted, it's a very comfortable place to be. The fitment is all about race. A snug fit, but not as to have any pressure points to veer your attention away from riding. Outward visibility is very good, with only the two small visor vents at the edge of your peripheral. Speaking of vents, there are plenty on this helmet. Four extractors in the rear and six intakes. This helmet is very cool that in fact, I close most of the vents in the mild Vancouver climate. I've made the addition of a Sena 20S unit to this helmet, and Arai designed the interior to accompany headsets. Foam speaker cutouts inside are removable and provide plenty of customization for a proper fit. The area in front of the mouth was enlarged by Arai, giving you enough room without constantly tasting the foam mic cover. There are very few issues I have with the Corsair X. Everything is well made, with great feedback and feel. The plastics, liner, rubber seals all have that quality feel to them. I find that the visor lock can be a bit tricky to unlock with a glove, but with practice it does get easier. This is a great helmet that I would highly recommend, that is if your budget will allow it.
