Arai hosted a hands-on test ride event for its new X-SNC full-face helmet at Nasu Motorsports Land. Billed as an RX-7X for the street, it weighs roughly 1,400g, about 100g lighter than the RX-7X. Solid colorways launch in September at 69,300 yen, with graphic versions following in autumn.
Beyond the stitching and buckles, the number that grabs me first is the weight — about 100g lighter than the RX-7X at 1,400g. The new AC duct claiming five times the airflow at 80km/h is backed by real measurements too, which is what earns my trust. Gear has no gender, it's about fit — and by that standard, this looks like a genuinely finished street helmet.

It says the graphic version launches in autumn — is the price still TBD?
Wish I'd gone to the Nasu test event, I want to actually try it on.
1400g, 100g lighter than the RX-7X — that quietly matters.
Pushing it as a street model just because it's 100g lighter feels overhyped.
Bringing RX-7X-level safety down to a street-friendly size is a welcome move.
69,300 yen still feels pricey for a street helmet, doesn't it?
