Sports helmets are straightforward, lightweight lids that suit riding on road and track
Customers frequently praised the helmet for its comfort, superior fit, and quality build. They found the ventilation effective and the internal padding plush. Visibility was noted to be excellent, and the visor mechanism, though initially fiddly, became easier with use. Some users mentioned issues like high wind noise and a short chin curtain. Overall, it was highly recommended for its design, lightweight feel, and improved features compared to previous models. Customers noted a substantial enhancement in quality and comfort over other brands like HJC and Shark.
Plenty of options for cheeky pads and skull caps available for no extra charge. By far fits me better than any other helmet. Plenty of vents and the texture inside is sweat wicking.
I’ve had 3 helmets prior to this, from different brands, and they all had some minor compromise. The Arai Quantic is the first helmet that has been perfect in every way for me. I know head shape is individual etc, but the feel and quality shines way above any other brand for me. The visor is easy to change, the vents actually work, the lining is plush and easily removed. I fitted a Cardo Packtalk and the speaker recess are deep enough that the speakers don’t push against your ears. Noise is at a minimum (subjective I know), the visor doesn’t whistle like some. The only very minor nit-pick is the visor unlock, which can be a bit tricky with thicker gloves. Other than that I can’t recommend it highly enough. Don’t think I’ll ever buy another brand!
I tried several other different makes of helmets before this, some were good but for me none were as good and comfortable as the Quantic.
From the start you know this is the only helmet to buy after lots of searching around The style was key to me as this helmet matches my bike colours ? then you get the bonuses - so so comfortable with no headache ache whatsoever. From the many vents to easy to lift visor what s not to like
This is my 1st Arai helmet. Great helmet.
I completed weeks trip around Ireland cost line and it felt right to me. Good ventilation, I was able to fit my glasses and good sound isolation.
My experience of the helmet is a snug, head hugging, soft, comfortable fit. The ventilation has proven its worth in the recent hot days and the quality of the finish suggests it’s built to last. Visor opening/closing can be a bit fiddly with bulky gloves. The removal of the visor, however. is a definite improvement over previous models and removal of the interior linings for cleaning is equally easily. The lack of a drop down tinted visor is not an issue for me but may be for others.
The name says it all, comfortable, style and protection. Great helmet for everyday use or longer rides. Highly recommend.
GOOD QUALITY AS YOU WOULD EXPECT
Aria visor system allows for smooth opening, it doesn't click into ratchet opening, it allows for user to set opening to what they want.
The venting system works very well in hot weather and is simple and robust.
I like Arai. Michio Arai's ethical aproach to rider safety is well respected. The Quantic lid is very comfortable, with excellent ventilation. The double D strap is well made - typical Arai high quality. Personally, I really dislike the visor catch. Yes, it does prevent the visor opening at inconvenient moments, but it's such a faf to use in gloves. I nearly bought a Shoei instead, but the Arai fits me better. The visor release system works very well once mastered - there are videos online. Overall, I am very satisfied with the Quantic. It's more comfortable than my Scorpion exo 1400 carbon, and I believe Arai's design philosophy produces very effective products.
Arai make an excellent product and Sportsbikeshop in Milton Keynes provided the optimal sales experience. Ordered online as a try on in-store before you buy option worked like a dream. Sue Hurley the store manager at Milton Keynes provided top notch friendly and technical back up. Especially with fitting and the intricate nuances of visor replacement. From chatting with Sue I found all staff at the store are motorcycle nuts to varying degrees, keen and on the ball. As we had ridden to the store to try and collect, my old Arai was given free shipment back home by DPD. Great service I thought.
Unfortunately though, despite being at home at the allotted time text to me, DPD did not ring my door buzzer (proven by no missed calls on my mobile) and just sent a text telling me I wasn’t in - which of course I was. In fact I’m in, even when out, as I can answer and open my automated gates from my phone. I am in the centre of a small 7 property, High St postcode, not hard to locate.
Maybe DPD are not the best choice of carrier. I was given the option to drive 10 miles to collect.
I have always bought Arai helmets and this is the latest in a long line. This is the best Arai I have owned. It is the quietest and the build quality is of the usual high standard. Great service from SBS.
I have worn many Arai's over the years and I think this is my 3rd Quantic and maybe the fifth in the similar style, what more do you say but ARAI, not the quietist, but comfortable and easy to wear. In my opinion the best made helmet currently available.
Comfy from the get go , quiet and well made . Best ventilation from a helmet I have owned so far . Service received from the staff in store from Bristol was superb. Happy customer. Thank you
Needed a new helmet as I’d managed to throw mine down the stairs. I tried on everything, but studiously avoided the Arais, knowing that as soon as I put one on, I was doomed. Nothing else worked, there were issues with fit, comfort, everything. So I put on a Quantic.
Schoolboy error. It fit, was comfortable, and just felt right. The day after I bought it I had to ride 300 miles to go to a funeral. No hotspots, perfectly comfortable, just spot on. It retains the traditional Arai problem of sucking in bugs and firing them at the top of your head, but I’m on Arai number 4 or 5 at this point, and they’ve all done it.
Usual exceptional service from SBS. Installed my pin lock and comms while I had a coffee, brilliant.
Only one issue, my wife is not happy that I bought a black crash helmet and wants to know why I couldn’t get another Schwantz rep. Arai do need to spread their interesting graphics over a larger range of their helmets.
Very comfortable helmet, looks absolutely great.
It's very light compared to my other arai lid . It has a matt finish with a map of the uk on the back. It's a lot quieter than my exlite lid.
You know what to expect from arai
Bit disappointed when chin vent disintegrated for no obvious reason.
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
