The Arai Signet-X in the Oriental-2 graphic: a full-face street helmet built for riders with a long-oval head, with a Pinlock-120 lens ready to install.
What the features mean on the road
- Long-oval fit: Arai adds space front to back and takes it away side to side. Why it matters: for a narrow head with a pronounced forehead, a round-oval helmet can leave pressure points or gaps; this shape is built for you.
- VAS shield system: lowers the pivot point by an average of 24 mm, which makes the temple area of the shell smoother and better able to reduce impact energy getting into the helmet.
- VAS latch with de-mist: holds the shield closed and resists unexpected opening, and the larger latch is easy to work.
- PB-SCLC shell: a peripherally belted, multi-material laminate that Arai designed to deliver performance at an approachable price.
- QVF three-position intake and QVR exhaust: good air in and out when riding, and a side vent still exhausts when the top shutter is closed.
- FCS cheek pads and water-repellent ES chin cover: layered foam densities cradle the face and help block wind noise, and the chin cover is removable.
- Odor-resistant liner: stays fresher for longer.
- VAS-Max Vision shield with Pinlock-120 lens: the shield accepts the VAS-MV Pinlock lens, and a ready-to-install Pinlock-120 lens is included. Why it matters: fog resistance on cool mornings and humid Richmond rides.
Fit: long oval
The Signet-X is Arai’s long-oval helmet. Head shape is easiest to judge on your own head, so a quick fitting is worth it.
A good fit if your head is narrow side to side with a more pronounced forehead.
Look elsewhere if your head is closer to intermediate oval. Ask us about the Arai Corsair-X.
