Very comfy and light and quiet. Like mine a lot. You don't look like a bobble head. Luxurious comfort. Very good looking in Code Yellow. Have to get used to the complicated shield install and removal and its stiffness when opening and closing.
Nice review! Fun fact: same helmet is sold in Australia as the Arai “Profile V”. Looks exactly the same, except it is ECE rated in Australia, instead of Snell. I bought the same helmet yesterday in black and red, with the optional Arai pro shade system.
I've read an article about how Arai helmets are made, the workers at the factory put a lot of effort into making these all by hand. Arai's higher end stuff sure are expensive, but the quality shows. I'm interested in the Regent-X but it is not available in my country as of yet. Thanks for the insightful and informative review!
Great looking helmet. I just bought the new Simpson bandit gen 2 with the mirrored tinted visor and I’m loving it. Keep coming with the great vids. Thx
Thanks for watching everyone. Something happened toward the end of the premier. I couldn't respond. Thank you, for joining us. Please put your comments below, Thanks again have a blessed day.
Arai and Shoei are the best helmet makers. Priced that way too. You get what you pay for too. If you read how both these companies build helmets,there are more hands on everyone of these helmets than any other maker. Solid Japanese makers. SNELL is another level up certification more to increase protection of your brain. Good job Tall. Ride safe and ride often. Life’s short just buy the bike.
Yeah this helmet is insanely comfortable. I was so confused when I tried one on at my Cycle Gear…it’ll definitely be my next one when it’s time to upgrade.
Main feature of this helmet is that it is wider on the bottom than other Arai helmets. This is to allow easier on-off, and this helmet doesn't fit as snugly around the ears as other Arai helmets. I have the Quantum-X, which is one of the only round oval helmets on the market.l
Tall good video, like that color looks good. As I said in the live stream (not sure if it was working for you) I might have to start wearing the full face to work, dropping into the 30’s at night here in northwest Ohio.
A full face helmet would be be a lot warmer in cold weather. I ride year round so I will give you my opinion after the temps drop a little more here. Thanks for watching.
Cool looking helmet I bought me a full faced harley helmet that raises up from the front from my dispatcher who also rides bought it new wore it one time an gave me a heck of a deal on it an I like it but that one there looks good take care an god bless brother
Thanks for watching Ben. You changed your youtube pic. It use to be a yellow pete, now its a black Street Glide. Great looking bike. I want to get my wheels chromed where did you get yours done?
@@TravelingTall hey brother that is how I bought the bike they were on it 19inch on front an 18inch on back they are called enforer wheels I found them on the internet this bike the guy who owned it before me put the mini ape hangers rynhart tru dual exhaust to many extras it's only had 4,980 miles on it I just hit 9,000 but I love my street glide my 2012 blackline softtail has a 21inch warwick phatom on it they look good as well glad to hear from you brother take care god bless
Traveling Tall Check out Willy Shinys. They have an exchange program for most H-D wheels. Like the looks of the helmet. May have to check it out. Using a Shoei Neotec II now. Love this channel!
Im happy you got hooked up with Arai. Ive been letting them protect my head since '99. Went to Shark, came back to Arai. Long oval head? Arai is the go-to for comfort, adjustability and comfort.
Heard good things about aria but for the price I prefer ruroc helmets dot and ece certified and they look cooler and have built into the helmet in the bottom of the back
Have you tried the Quantum X yet? We seem to have the same head profile. Go to the store and try it. If you buy, review it here too 😉. I love my Quantum X. I have Shoei RF1200 but I don’t wear it anymore after Arai.
There's an issue with most HD touring bikes, the airflow is pushed around the rider especially the face. Helmet vents don't have the same effect as when the helmet is used on an open bike. Perhaps being tall your head is out of the airflow? .
Expensive helmet $495, I can’t do it bro. You always wear a full shield? I wear both but mostly half, Ive even went down and hit my head on the asphalt and it protected me. Still had a concussion LOL.BUT survived.
A few more details please. I was thinking of getting this helmet next. Can you really feel the air flow thru the vents? My HJC RPHA-10 flows a lot of air. Down here in Texas, good air flow thru the vents is essential in the warmer months. Thank you for your video. I value your opinion.
Hey Carlos, I was surprised at the amount of air I felt through the vents. I was wearing it the other day and it felt great. Its fall here with a high of 76. I haven't ridden in real hot temps yet, but the air flow was better than any helmet that I've owned. Thank you for watching.
I’ve been using the same helmet for going on 6 years now. These past few months I’ve started looking around for a replacement. I’m so use to the one I have I’m not sure I’ll find one I’ll be happy with. Interested to see what you have to say about this one.
Try the Arai, its a great Helmet. I like it because its Dot and Snell approved, light, comfortable, plenty of air flow, and good looking. Thanks for watching Scot.
Traveling tall what did you do for a rear fender for your 5 inch stretched bags did you leave your stock or if you replaced it were did you find a new one
@@TravelingTall absolutely. I am a cheapskate but found one o. Sale 40% off. Think it was a prior year model. That is the only way i could afford it. I am 6 months from the 2 year mark and am already watching for another sale
May be a great helmet but $549 is just plain ridiculous. No helmet is worth that much money. And that's not even including the extra $50-$100 for the tinted visor. Smh...
Waste of 5 minutes. Nothing you did, you did very good.you didn’t explain the airflow very well, you didn’t give a good review, and you didn’t give an explanation on how to swap shields. At least tell us WHY you like it, not just that you like it. SMH.

In germany it's also called Profile V.

I just ordered one in white, and I am stoked.
One thing I found out about helmets, you buy cheap you get cheap.
Great looking helmet. I just bought the new Simpson bandit gen 2 with the mirrored tinted visor and I’m loving it. Keep coming with the great vids. Thx
I had the ARAI Signet Q that saved life during a crash in socal. The outside barely looked damaged for a hard hit.
AWESOME Helmet👍 It's very sleek looking yet functional and most important SAFETY 😎
I just picked up an Arai Corsair-X, Pricey but after research on Helmet Safety, and reputation, Arai is the way to go 👍
great looking helmet.i have a Arai Rebel in frosted white,you cant beat the quailty of it.
Well I actually hit the reminder button!!

Awesome helmet, sir. I only ride Arai helmets and they saved my life more than once. 👍
I respect ur luv of Harley Davidson I'm a new convert to. It's a remarkable brand. I only wear Harley shirts too.

Dang snow or even worse the salt and sodium chloride they put all over the roads keeps mine packed away for at least three months unfortunately.
Very nice!
Caught off guard when suddenly we're in Knoxville. Prob seen you around
Looks pretty cool. Like a Batman helmet!
I gotta have a modular or a half helmet. Wipe rainx on ur shield and rain runs off fast. U can see perfectly even in hard rain...

Just curious how the helmet is holding up? Thanks for the video!
That are the best helmet I have one and I love it

Sweet lid ! Good review ! #supportmvc
Could you please confirm that the helmet comes with 2 visors? Tinted and clear?
Wait till you try shuberth or shoei
I have only tried Arai on, but it feels better than the three Shoeis I own
@@gghostrrider I have three gt air rf1200 and neo tec nothing but the best. .
My bell race star is great as well.
Nice video, thx!
It looks real cool

@@TravelingTall, thanks for responding. It's been a long time since I have had an Arai. Could be my next helmet. Thanks again.
Luv ur videos
Did you mount a bluetooth headset in this? If so, which one?

I left it stock. Thanks for watching
I saved up to buy an Arai helmet for 3 years and was stolen from me the first ride out, I guess I’m not supposed to have the best
I picked up an arai last year. Best and worst thing i ever did. Cause now i will not wear anything else
It's my first one, so now I can say, I understand. Arai makes a great helmet. Thanks for watching.

Better than Shoei
I never owned a Shoei, but I can say it's better than any helmet that I have owned before. Thanks for watching Joseph.
