Arai experience
04 July 2025 by Nigel
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

Great helmet

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.

First for fit, finish and comfort.

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.

Safe, with wide viewing panorama

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.

It's good, but not perfect.

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.

Great product, faultless customer service.

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.

The best Arai so far.
29 May 2025 by Alan
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.

Best Helmet
27 May 2025 by Mike
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.

Usual exceptional Arai quality
13 May 2025 by Marc
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.

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.

Comfortable and quality
27 April 2025 by Jon
Nothing particularly fancy with this helmet, but it was comfortable from the first ride, quiet, and when it’s on I don’t really notice it. Good field of vision and the pinlock works exactly as described (no steaming up). The only reason it’s not 5 stars is I find the visor opening a bit fiddly. I don’t really think the visor needs to be locked shut, but then I’m not racing or anything like that. It’s a minor niggle though and I’d definitely recommend this helmet.

As with every Arai, the Quantic is formed around protection, first and foremost. Manufactured by hand, the outer shell maintains core strength but with a substantial weight reduction. The smooth, round shape is a key Arai signature and primarily designed to 'glance-off' and spread impact forces. Using the aerodynamic and protective abilities of Arai's full-race helmets and all the experience and know-how earned over millions of road kilometres, the new Quantic slips through the air neatly and efficiently, wrapping its wearer in a cocoon of luxury. It offers a fresh choice for riders that want the very best performance from a helmet - in terms of protection, comfort and ease of wear, day-in-day out - with zero compromise. For easy access on and off the Quantic features a 5mm flare around the base, while the VAS MAX vision visor comes with a Pinlock insert ready to use. The premium brushed nylon interior is removable and features Facial Contour System (FCS) and neck roll wire pocket. It also features Emergency Release System (ERS).
