The cardboard box that Arai arrive in, are more comfortable than almost any other helmet brand. Customizing the cheek pads is great for perfecting the fit!
Very informative video! I had not heard of your company, and I purchased this helmet elsewhere. I thank you for the video, and I will be definitely ordering from you next time.
Great detailed video.. too many reviewers are mainly focused on how helmets look...pretty much useless for someone who thinks safety is the #1 concern, like me. :-)
I wear a medium and I had to upgrade the pads. I tried on a small and it was way to tight. Using bigger pads made a huge difference. Great helmet though
The cheek pads do have a piece of foam that can be removed for speaker installation. Aria doesn't necessarily say this helmet is glasses friendly but the cheek pads are very customizable and many riders have used Arai's with their glasses and not had an issue.
That's a really good question and it's fairly complex. The Corsair and Corsa R are both amazing helmets. As discussed in this video, there's a good deal of technology that Arai has built into the Corsair-X. To touch a little on the AGV Corsa R, it was designed to have a wide field of vision in the tucked position. We have found that it's fantastic when riding a sportbike and leaned in the forward ride position, especially at the track. It's a little more frustrating at certain times of the day, when dealing with the sun. The field of view is great for riding, but tough to escape the rising or setting sun. They both have rear spoilers, the Arai has a small fin that adjusts up and down. The AGV has a stationary rear wrap design. The AGV is more angled on the rear of the helmet. We've found that this does provide some extra room in the tucked and leaned position. As mentioned in the video, Arai has purposely created their shells with a continuous radius curve. This is to help reduce angular rational force in the event of a crash. Both of the helmets have fairly easy to change shields, but the Arai has the side shield covers to deal with and the AGV does not. Both of them have very nice interiors and comfortable liners. The Arai feels more roomy in the chin-mouth area, whereas the AGV is definitely tighter. This is certainly subjective to the person wearing it, but we've just found that the AGV seems to be a closer fit to our face. We weighed them both and this is what we came up with on our scales: Arai Corsair-X 3lb 10oz, AGV Corsa R 3lb 6oz. In regards to price, the Arai is about $82.00 more than the AGV, on our site. These are both truly quality helmets and both have their strengths. It really comes down to a personal preference as to how it feels and what features that are important to you.
i have had the Corsair X for about 3 years and the only issue i seem to have is the Pinlock lens insert. for some reason the insert always seems to become loose and doesn't sit like it's supposed to for the dual pain with the air barrier to create the antifog working. is there a solution to help with this cause i have bought new lenses and new inserts and still seem to have this issue.
The best helmets in the world and literally the reason I'm still alive. 👍

Does it have provisions for glasses or speakers?

This, Arai Corsair X or the AGV Corsa R?

would you recommend this model for just street riding or another model?
You bet. This helmet was built for the track, but you can use for it street use as well. - Chase
whats the difference between the corsair x and rx7v ?
The same model, different market. Corsair x/rx7v/rx7x(japan) = is the same lid
Arai.. the best helmet on the market. Please lose the shield pods and redesign that area. Or, create a auto tinting shield like the pro-tint by Bell.
May I ask, on the back of the helmet printed Made In USA? is that not made in Japan?
Arai helmets are manufactured in Japan. The Made in the USA badge is part of the theme on this colorway of the helmet.
This specific helmet is a Nicky Hayden signature graphic.

they wear out over time. once the seals starts to go bad, that's the time to replace them.
using arai helmet on small bikes looks like shit but once your riding a sportsbike it looks good 🤣🤣🤣
