Advice & Guides Sports helmets are straightforward, lightweight lids that suit riding on road and track
Customers found the Arai Quantic exceptionally comfortable, with a perfect fit, plush lining and easy on-off use. Ventilation is generally excellent, visibility is clear and the visor action is smoother than on previous helmets. Build quality feels premium, and the helmet is notably quieter than older models. A few customers mentioned fiddly visor catches or some draughts around the vents, but overall it is seen as a high-quality, worthwhile upgrade.
You get what you pay for brilliantly helmet quiet. Feels quality soft best helmets Arai. Good delivery from sportsbikeshop
Been eyeing up an Arai for ages and was torn between the Quantic and the RX7. Decided that I didnt need a race helmet so I went for the Quantic which has turned out to be the right choice for road riding. The best thing about this helmet is the fit and the feel of quality when you put it on. So plush. The visor is easy to remove to fit the supplied pinlock. I suggest you watch a utube video first. Pockets for speakers up to 45mm dia. I got the Cardo audio set. Again watch a video first. This feels premium and SBS did a price match. So a brand new Arai for under £400. Whats not to like
The Arai Quantic in Supra Red is an outstanding motorcycle helmet that combines striking looks, premium build quality and the reassurance of a brand with a long-standing reputation for safety. The red graphics look fantastic in person, giving the helmet a sporty, distinctive appearance without being over the top.
Comfort is excellent, making it a great choice for both everyday riding and longer touring journeys. The aerodynamic shell design, effective ventilation system and carefully designed interior contribute to a comfortable riding experience, while the secure fit gives you confidence on the road. The ventilation is particularly welcome on warmer days and during longer rides.
One of the biggest reasons for choosing Arai is its long-established commitment to helmet safety, quality control and meticulous craftsmanship. The Quantic features a strong PB e-cLc outer shell, a multi-density EPS impact-absorbing liner and Arai's signature rounded shell philosophy. It is designed to provide excellent protection while maintaining the comfort and practicality needed for real-world riding. The Quantic also features a wide peripheral field of vision and a practical visor system, which are valuable advantages when riding in traffic or exploring unfamiliar roads.
The overall finish feels premium, and the attention to detail is exactly what you would expect from Arai. It is not the cheapest helmet on the market, but the combination of comfort, engineering, ventilation and brand reputation makes it a worthwhile investment for riders who take their equipment seriously.
Overall, a fantastic helmet that looks great, feels comfortable and inspires confidence. The Arai Quantic Supra Red is an excellent option for riders looking for a premium full-face helmet suitable for daily use, weekend rides and longer motorcycle tours. It was a good purchase with the Sportsbikeshop discount. Highly recommended!
I’ve always been lucky enough to wear Arai helmets.
They are very comfortable and lightweight.
This one ranks as the best I’ve owned for its exceptional lining and low noise.
As expected with Arai very good product. I’ve always had the RX7 but this is great for road riding and more comfortable
Helmet fits nicely, changed from a Bell. Tried several at the shop and very obliging staff, nothing too much trouble
I’ve done about 600 miles in my new Arai Quantic. The white colour actually has a bit of sparkle close up. It’s very comfortable and has reasonable wind noise suppression, with improved vents at top and chin which are convenient when riding. I’ve had Arai helmets for over 30 years and they still perform for me. Excellent price and service from SBS. Thoroughly recommended.
I consider my head shape as oval, and the 58M is sized and fits perfectly, both in comfort and security, It has my preferred double D ring fastening system. Visibility is good. Noise is considerably reduced compared to other systems I have tried. The helmet gives complete reassurance that protection is at the core of design. A great investment, and I find myself in a good place.
Fits well, reasonable quiet, love the style.
The first thing that strikes you about the Arai Quantic in Modern Grey is its understatehe solid Modern Grey finish delivers a clean, stealthy, and premium aesthetic that pairs beautifully with everything from adventure tourers to naked streetfightersd elegance remarkably strong, penetration-resistant shell that remains deceptively lightweight over long distances. then add the pro shade sun visor into the mix ,Many touring helmets introduce internal sun visors by thinning the impact-absorbing EPS liner the VAS-V Type Pro Shade Visor System completely rewrites the rules. It delivers an uncompromised, real-world setup that prioritises structural safety without sacrificing everyday usability.
Love the quality and design, it's rather good.
The fit and feel matches the quality and does not disappoint. For me it is quiet and comfortable with the fit being spot on. Love the fact that the visor holds any position I place it.
Ventilation is I would say decent and nothing more. My only gripe would be the small notch for holding the visor one position of fully sealed finding it quite difficult to open with gloves. I ended up filing this down slightly with a fine file until it only just held the visor making for me a much better solution being that much easier to open yet still holding the visor as designed.
After using a Shoei NXR for years which I really liked, this feels even better quality, both inside and out, the flag UK paint looks superb.
Purchased from Sportsbikeshop in Preston who were very helpful giving a demo of the side panels and visor removal, especially after coming from the Shoei which was so easy.
Arai quality and an amazing paint job. Stunning lid and a bargain price too.
I bought this helmet based on all the good reviews from motorcycle journalist like MCN etc, but it's honestly the worst helmet I've ever owned. The helmet is so noisy even with ear plugs, that it's all I can concentrate on when I'm riding. I end up getting wet eyes from the wind hitting them constantly. I sent this helmet back to SBS/Arai thinking something must be wrong with it, but they returned it saying there's no defects. I've barely ridden this summer since owning this helmet due to the noise and wind on my face when riding.
I tried and bought mine at the Reading branch. I wanted something to ride overseas with that's a bit different in design and comfortable. The Quantic is very comfortable and not ridiculously heavy like some helmets I have tried in the past. The visor opening mechanism is fiddly and takes some getting used to but also you have to be in neutral (at lights) to operate it with your left hand.
I have ordered the weird Vas-V Pro Shade to go with it.
From Sportsbikeshop it came my way,
A shiny new companion for the day.
I tried it on it fit just right,
Snug and secure, a wonderful sight.
Now when I ride upon my bike,
I m protected just as I like.
The wind can roar, the engines sing,
My brand-new helmet s doing its thing.
So here s to Sportsbikeshop and my new lid,
A purchase I m certainly glad I did.
Safe on the road, with style to spare,
And a cracking helmet upon my hair!
Arrived next working day, looks great, fantastic fit and very comfortable
We bought his and hers Arai Quantic helmets in the Flag colour scheme.I had my eye on a Shoei GT3Air but after trying both on it was no contest. We’ve worn these on a 50 mile first trip on a newly purchased VFR800 and the vents performed brilliantly on a very warm day. I have a C5 that I use on my R1200RT but this helmet is way more comfortable and the chin strap doesn’t dig in.
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
