Arai are world renowned for their commitment to safety and the Arai Quantic helmet is no exception to this rule. This refusal to compromise on safety has led them to be one of the most respected helmet manufacturers the world over and worn by racers in every series, from Maverick Vinales to Ian Hutchinson to Josh Brookes. The brand new ECE 22:06 legislation that has been brought into effect now tests motorcycle helmets in more ways than ever before, from testing at varied speeds to angled impacts and more. The Arai Quantic is the first helmet in the world to pass these new stringent safety regulations, a huge badge of honour for a company so committed to rider safety.

The Arai Quantic helmet features a PB ecLc outer construction; this stands for Peripherally Belted e-Complex Laminate Construction and is designed to offer increased strength without adding a significant amount of weight. Beneath the outer shell lies a multi-density EPS lining, designed to cushion your head in the event of an impact. The inclusion of multiple densities of EPS allows your new Arai helmet to soak up different kinds of impact more efficiently. Each Arai helmet is hand made by an Arai approved engineer, who will have to train for up to 5 years before being deemed skilled enough to work on your new Arai helmet.

With an outer shell created from specialised fibreglass layers and an ultra-strong bonding resin, this helmet is given the well-known R75 organic round shell shape that we’ve come know and love from Arai. This round shell shape helps with ‘glancing off’, a safety measure considered by Arai and developed with knowledge from real world crash scenarios. ‘Glancing off’ works to avoid energy being transferred directly into the helmet, keeping the rider safe should the worst occur. You can ride with peace of mind in the Arai Quantic helmet, knowing that your helmet is not only safe due to its incredibly strong fibreglass construction, but by the very design of the helmet itself.

The Arai Quantic helmet features a 5mm wider base, a great improvement for those who have tried on Arai helmets in the past but found them difficult to put on or take off. This miniscule difference translates to real world all day comfort when riding, making the Arai Quantic a welcoming environment for your head to spend the day in.

The Arai Quantic helmet features a clear visor as standard and used the VAS (Variable Axis System) mechanism to maintain the smooth shell design with little intrusion to the rounded shell shape. The VAS system was developed by Arai to do away with intrusion at this critical area, which sits across the temple, and helping to further impact protection with a greater density EPS at this area and greater ‘glancing off’ capabilities. The visor itself is fitted with ridges to accept the Pinlock 120 Max Vision inserts, which are designed to reduce visor misting when riding in particularly cold environments. These Pinlock inserts are included with the purchase of your Arai Quantic helmet. The visor is secured in place with a racing style shield latch closure, using a simple latch at the left side of the visor to securely lock the face shield in place in case of impacts. Rather than opt for an internal sun visor, Arai use the Pro Shade System, an exterior mounted dark tinted sun visor designed to eliminate sun glare while riding. The Arai Pro Shade System is available to purchase as an additional extra.

Also incorporated into the visor are brow vents; exclusively used by Arai, the brow vents offer an additional ventilation opportunity and help to channel more air into the helmet as you ride. For the first time ever, Arai have developed a completely new ventilation opening in the form of a 3D Arai logo at the front of the helmet. This innovative 3D logo vent operates via a toggle mechanism to open and close the vent and helps vastly improve the ventilation when travelling at lower speeds (under 30mph). The Arai Quantic helmet already features an extensive amount of ventilation opportunities that you would typically find on race orientated motorcycle helmets. With two upper vents and a two position chin vent, the amount of air flowing into the Arai Quantic is enough to keep any rider cool in the warmest of weather. In addition to this, you’ll find exhaust vents under the rear spoiler along with two side exhaust vents and a built in neck exhaust vent, each designed to draw warm air efficiently out of the helmet while riding, a welcomed feature for the summer bikers. The rear spoiler also helps to keep the helmet planted when travelling at motorway speeds, truly helping to unlock the potential of the Quantic as a go-to sports touring motorcycle helmet.

The inclusion of the Facial Contour System (FCS) within the Arai Quantic helmet offers a snug, secure fit each and every time you ride. Using thicker padding at the cheeks to secure the helmet usually means a squashed, sometime uncomfortable fit that will bed in over time, offering less and less support with continued use; the Facial Contour System uses a cheek pad with a rebound device to gently yet firmly secure the cheek pad at the jaw, maximising security without compromising on comfort. Thanks to the FCS system, the helmet is also easier to get on and off without having your force your way past unnecessary padding to get in and out of your motorcycle helmet. The Arai Quantic helmet also benefits from the ERS system; the cheek pads can be removed by the emergency services quickly and easily in the event of an accident, using a pull tab located at the bottom of the helmet. The quick release cheek pads enable the emergency services to remove the helmet without causing unnecessary strain to the rider's neck. This could make a critical difference in the event of an accident.

The interior of this Arai motorcycle helmet is semi-removable and washable, allowing you to prolong the fresh helmet feeling, a welcomed addition for those riding all year round and in warmer weather. In addition to this, the cheek pads and ear cups are replaceable, allowing you to customise the fit of your Arai Quantic helmet to suit the shape of your head for even greater comfort. The interior lining also features provision for intercom systems to be added to the helmet, with speaker pockets that are ready to accept any universal motorcycle intercom.

All Arai helmets, including the Arai Quantic helmet, are subjected to Arai’s in-house testing procedure, going above and beyond the mandatory testing procedures required by safety bodies such as ECE 22:06. These in-house tests include a penetration test which involves a 3kg test cone being dropped from a height of 3 metres onto the helmet, testing the strength and resilience of the helmet shell. Keeping with their mantra that safety is paramount, Arai only use double D ring closure systems on their helmets; no moving parts to corrode or break, just a tried and tested strap which is tightened each and every time you ride.

Available in sizes XS – XL and available in solid colours and graphic colours.
