Arai Regent-X Helmet Review -
The Regent-X is Arai’s lowest-priced full-face helmet and stands out for its superior comfort, excellent optics, robust shell construction, and easy fit. However, the shield system is more complicated than anticipated. Overall, the Regent-X offers high-quality craftsmanship and comfort at a reasonable price without compromising head protection.

2020 Zero Motorcycles SR/F Review - Michael Gilbert
"The lack of clutch and gearbox paired with medium-distance range makes this electric bike seriously useful as around-town transportation with the capability of tackling a few miles of twisties in between while retaining a natural motorcycle riding experience."
