Verified Customer Reviews for Arai Concept-XE
Suits retro bikes
15 October 2024 by Howard K
Been riding for over 35 years on trail bikes, nakeds, sports tourers and supersports. Used different helmets depending on what I'm riding. Some were great and some not so great. The Arai Concept is perfectly suited to retro style bikes where lower speeds is where you'll live. If you're going to be riding at a fast pace leave this helmet on the shelf.
Me and my GT Continental are very happy with the Concept XE.
Great price from Sportsbikeshop and another hit from Arai.

Great lid ?
29 July 2024 by Matthew O
Nice to be back inside an Arai, tried cheaper lids and they're not even close. The only minor gripe would be a bigger chin skirt would be an improvement as it does try to lit when you get a shift on. Other than that no issues at all, love it!

All that Glitters
30 June 2024 by Ricki B
My first Arai and it looks great with good ventilation.
But it's not very aredynamic on a naked bike, at speed there is way too much head buffering.
Thankfully I have a second bike with a screen and the Arai works fine.

A good buy
11 April 2024 by Paul B
I wanted a full faced helmet that would suit my old bike and have that retro look. I found it in the Arai Concept-XE. Very well made snug fitting helmet complete with Pinlock. It was a little more than I would normally pay but hopefully it will last me a good few years.

The Full Package!

This helmet is awesome!
Still super light n comfortable after a days ride.
I fitted a new Arai smoked visor (which was very easy) looks mean as a junk yard dog!
No downside to this helmet at all.

Retro without the limitations !
15 February 2024 by Luke G
I brought this helmet a few weeks ago after looking for a retro helmet style, I tried the Shoei Glamster and to no avail. However I was recommended this by a colleague, and I must say I wasn't let down. It's got a lovely finish and is extremely comfortable without loosing a confident safe feeling, the visor is strong and holds a max vision pin lock leading to great visibility. All in all what you would expect from an Arai !

Comfortable quality lid

This helmet is a quality product. It fits well and is quite with noise reduction ear plugs. Fitting a sena 10s intercom was simple and trouble free. Highly recommended

Concept-XE's brute simplicity is the product of imagination, but make no mistake, while the retro style may grab the attention it had to pass Arai's stringent in-house testing. So underneath the aggressive look, you'll find a strong, lightweight PB e-cLc shell, with a smooth and round shape, reinforced with Arai's proprietary peripheral belt, to slide across surfaces and glance-off obstacles. The VAS-VC shield system, with its retro mechanical look, further enhances glancing-off performance by lowering the visor pivot point to maximize a smooth upper shell.
Although a nod to the past, the Concept-XE is very much a helmet of the present. Ready for a generation of modern riders that demand a new, old style - but with the performance and comfort only an Arai can provide.
ECE R22-06 requires a much more stringent testing process than the previous ECE R22-05 and includes an oblique test to measure rotation. Acquisition of the latest standards represents the current benchmark of the time, but Arai always continues to pursue improvements to protect the rider.
