ARAI DT-X
PRODUCT LAUNCH
P110
have a round head which suits the egg shellshape
of Arai's multi-density EPS liner, so the DT-X suits
me well. The only way you'll know if an Arai DT-X
works for you is if you try it on…
The fit has a big bearing on how noisy the
helmet is. I find the subject of noise a moot point
because I ride with earplugs, and cutting out the
majority of the wind
noise means the noise
that actually matters
(cars) can get through.
As such, I find the DT-X
is no louder than the
Signet-X or the Corsair-
X—the shell design is so
similar across all three
models I'd not expect
a big increase in noise
anyway. There's plenty
of vision available in
the DT-X—the wide eye
port means peripheral
vision is never inhibited,
making side glancing for
lane splitting easy.
At $589.95 for the
black model tested here,
the DT-X represents
good value and a way for
customers to get into the
Arai brand without fork-
ing out over $900 for a
Corsair-X. CN
Unlike the Signet-X, the
DX-T runs a more rounded
shape that's closer to the
Corsair-X shape and better
for fat heads—like Rennie's.
GOOD
•Similar shape to Corsair-X
•Good ventilation
•Can be fitted with a Pro
Shade system
BAD
•Still a little pricey for an
"entry level" helmet
There are nine
different color
variants for the
DT-X, including two
national colors—
Italy (shown here)
and Britain. No
USA colors (yet).
