Arai RX-Q

I just tried one out. It is a superbly built helmet, but I find that unless I tilt my head forward like I am looking at the speedo, or tuck way down below my little skidmarx screen, the vents on the top of the helmet whistle like crazy. I don't mean just a little wind noise, I mean it sounds like winter wind howling across the plains. Too bad as it's a great helmet in every other way (other than the visor changing mechanism). I think I'm going back to Shoei or AGV.

i,ve got an arai rx7gp and its the second arai i,ve had tbh they are noisy i think my simpson speedway rx is quieter but i,ve used moulded earplugs for a few years now so it dosnt really matter
All of my arais have been rather noisey, still damn fine helmets tho!!!

Just wear ear plugs (yes they take a bit of gettin used 2!) an it doesnt really matter!

Since having a Shark RSR2 i cant see me going back to Arai now tho

not a fan of any arai helmets,they are the wrong shape for my head and the side pods have a tendency to break or fall off,i prefer shoei,my shoei x spirit and my xr 1000 lids exellent i have a old agv i wear now and then but it feels cheap and nasty in comparrision, i loved my shark mx lid until my english bull terrier ate it and ripped apart what was left...lol

I see no reason to go back to Arai.
