Arai Quantic - Star Great quality helmet with nice soft inner padding and very quiet once the visor is down. Loads of vents aswell to keep you cool
Arai VAS-V Type Pro Shade Visor System - Road Legal This product has two visors, the sun visor sits outside of the helmet in front of the clear visor. The clear visor locks tight in to the helmet and the sun visor covers all but the bottom 20% of the clear screen when it is fully lowered so that you can always read the instruments of the bike. The great advantage of the dual visor system is that you can raise or lower the sun visor according to the conditions. I couldn’t say if this dual visor is noisier than a single visor system but at motorway speeds I couldn’t detect a difference in noise when the sun visor was either raised or lowered, and no, I am not (completely) deaf. And the visor seemed sturdy when in use and well made.
First class service from the SBS as always.
Arai Concept-XE - Gloss White Good helmet, great price, it fits the same as other Arai's
The only issue is the visor change is long winded and different to every other arai I've had
Not great for frequent light to dark visor swaps
I'd recommend checking YouTube before making a decision
Arai VAS-V Type Max Vision Dark Smoke Race Visor - Not Road Legal Excellent product, much better than copies. Fits perfectly and is smooth in operation. Great price from Sportsbikeshop as always.
Arai Tour-X5 VAS-A PrecisionTone Pinlock Insert It doesn't go dark enough for me but does the job just about .
Arai ACS10 Sena Bluetooth Intercom System Good addition to my new Arai Quantic Helmet, easy to fit and good sound. Connects easily to my phone
And the usual great service from Sportsbikeshop
Arai Quantic - Mosaic Black Tried 2 other makes of helmet as I was trying to keep the cost down but they didn’t feel right or comfortable so I tried the Aria and what a difference, the fit is spot on and very comfortable and my glasses sit correctly.
Well worth the higher cost
