Arai Signet-Q Helmet - Solid Colors The Signet-Q takes all the favorite features of the RX-Q and create a whole new series based on all the successes. On the outside, the Arai Signet-Q Helmet looks very similar to it's namesake, the RX-Q, but on the inside you can see and feel the difference. A longer shell shape on the Arai Signet-Q Helmet gives 5mm more space front to back allowing for a larger number of heads to fit comfortably. The shape of the Arai Signet-Q Helmet releases forehead pressures and eliminate hot spots for a more comfortable fit every time. This shape works best for riders with a long oval headshape. Additional Features of the Arai Signet-Q Helmet Both the top vent set and side exhaust cowls are direct carryovers from the RX-Q Brow vent ducting redirects to flow air across the temples DDL-4 exhaust vent to the 10mm wider eye port (5mm on each side) Long Oval Fit SAI MAX-Vision Brow Vent shield Clear Pin Lock Max-Vision Brow Vent pinlock lense included. Elongated shell adds 5mm from front to back Long-Oval shape helps prevent Hot-Spot Multi-Density Single piece EPS liner Removable, replaceable, washable interior Dry-Cool Surface material for rapid displacement of heat and moisture away from your head and into the ventilation airflow for added comfort while riding and a quick dry between rides 5mm peel-away temple pads adds another level of customization, giving the helmet interior a little extra width when needed Enhanced for customizable micro fitment interior without the need to purchase extra interior components New FCS (Facial Contour Support) cheek pad design Innovative and exclusive spring support adds just the right amount of pressure when needed while being worn Meets or exceeds Snell and D.O.T. standards

I have been wearing Arai lids for over 15 years. My most recent one being the Quantum series. This helmet (especially the II) was the best helmet I have ever owned. After 5 years, it was time to look for another one. I was extremely disappointed to hear that Arai had discontinued that helmet. Upon my dealers recommendation, I tried the RX-Q. This helmet did not fit me. At the time, the Signet-Q had not been released. I looked at Shoei, Nolans, and Schuberth. But I kept looking at the really nice RX-Q that didn't fit me. When I heard that the Signet-Q was released (with all of the same features of the RX-Q), I looked for a review of someone in my situation; going from a Quantum-II to a Signet-Q and their experience with fit.. I never found one. I then called Revzilla and explained my situation. Talking through it with the representative, I decided to take a chance and purchased the XL in Diamond Blue.
This helmet fits me very well and for those that are looking for a replacement to the Quantum series, take a look at this helmet. At least for me, it works. No pressure points at all. I have ridden about 2K miles with it since my purchase.
There are many reasons that I stick with Arai, but I would say the number one reason is the quality. I know that this helmet will last for the 5 years of my almost daily use.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Seat comparison to stock

I have an 2009 R1200GS Adventure. Is the standard seat similar in height to the stock seat?
