Race helmets represent the pinnacle of the breed, with aerodynamics for high-speed riding, and ratings for use in racing...
I really get on with Arai helmets, this is number 10 for me. The fit and finish is the best and suits me perfectly, I trust it to save my head should it become necessary. I'm glad the RX7 still has the old shape and not the new flared out shape of the Quantic as it feels much more secure to me. My only disappointment is the visor lock mechanism, it's truly an invention from hell, fix that and it's a 5 star helmet all day long.
Firstly great service from sportsbikeshop as usual with quick response to a query. As for the lid itself it is even more beautiful in the flesh, now my 2nd Arai after previously having two other top brands of helmet in my opinion there is no better than Arai for quality and comfort ?
Great helmet and fantastic service from sportsbikeshop Boston as usual, been using them for about 5 years.
Comfortable. Love the design. Arai are just the best helmets around.
Super light weight, fits perfectly, very comfortable. Top quality!
My Third RX7-V and it lives up to the outstanding build quality and with a terrific Paint job! I have the Ghost Red and Planet Red and the details up close you cant see from any photos is very impressive! Top Notch Service from Sportsbike Shop as usual!
Great delivery as with all sportsbikeshop shop goods,
The helmet is the best as per all Arai helmets are is this my 4th Arai I've tried different ones but keep coming back, this is 5 star quailty noise reduction is great, The only thing I would say is the new visor clip is a little bit fiddly with my winter gloves on having to wear glasses I steam up every time I stop (Particularly in the cold weather) so you have to lift twice second time getting your thumb under the visor, can be tricky but its a thing you get used to thats the only problem I found. I would definitely recommend
Amazing helmet. Arai's are know to be the best helmets out there and as soon as you put this lid on it's clear to see why. I have a round/oval Ish head shape and the helmet fits great. Materials and construction are top notch. My Cardo 4+ also integrates really well. Never thought I would own this helmet as the RRP isn't exactly light lol, but SBS came through with a sale offer that I couldn't resist!
Only downside is the the helmet is on the heavier side when compared to other competitors.
Excellent customer service from SBS as per usual.
I have had many Arai helmets over the years but this is the most comfortable one I have owned. The finish is superb, the interior is plush and is removable for cleaning. I can't give an opinion on what it's like to wear whilst on my bike due to the weather conditions ( I know, fair weather rider) but I expect it to be as good if not better than my previous Arai's.
Excellent service as normal with sportsbikeshop
Superb quality, paint finish and helmet fixtures exude the high standards and attention to detail that you would expect from a class leading helmet. Just a little tight fit on my XL bonce!
Bin looking forward to a new helmet and I must say love the aria rx7 well made love the colours I'm as happy as can be. wood recommend this every time spot on.
The last two helmets I've had, have both been Shoei. The original GT air which I liked for the drop down sun visor and comfort; however, for me lacked decent ventilation in the hotter weather. This followed by a Hornet ADV which was perfect for riding the GSA with it's huge screen, but even then when The riding becomes more progressive, the peak starts to become tiring.
Having done lots of research, spoken to some journalists who have done lots of miles in different helmets I narrowed it down to two. The Arai RX7V and Arai Quantic. The RX7V was price matched to an online retailer and the new Quantic full RRP. Price aside, I tried both on and the feel and fit of the more race oriented helmet won hands down for me.
I've not noticed any noise issues as some suggested, but I guess after the peak on the ADV it's not going to be huge. I've always loved Arai, but was persuaded away from them for features that at the time were important, now I'm back in the safest helmet on the market and though I need either a photocromatic insert or dark visor for when it's sunny, I know I'm well protected, have plenty of vents and the fit and comfort (for me) is secon£ to none.
Sportsbike shop were great, price matched an online company, so now should there be a problem, I can speak to real people who will work with me and the manufacturer to resolve.
Needed a new helmet....
Always worn Arai...
RX7 in the sale...
No-brainer, just the best helmet ever at a fantastic price, next day delivery and really well packed...
Brilliant
Top quality helmet, unbelievably comfortable & one of the best paint schemes.
Given 5 stars because I can't give 10.
I have wanted to upgrade to an RX-7V for the longest of time. Put myself of because of the price but but the bullet and got one. Wow. What a lid.
The quality is exceptional as you would expect from Arai. The comfort of wearing this is only comparable to a cold winters night in front of the fireplace watching your favourite film with your favourite drink in your favourite pair of slippers.
Is a little bit noisy but no way unbearable. Ventilation is brilliant as well.
Usual 10/10 service from SBS.
This is the top of the range Arai so doesn't get any better than this. The quality is superb and I know If I ever have to rely on this to protect my head it will perform without doubt. With fully custom fitting you know the fit will always be right and the killer race rep design is just mega. You have loads of vents and air flow systems and also a much easier designed visor locking and lift system too.
Great helmet and very comfortable however refitting some of the parts after fitting the comma set were very difficult to get back to original positions
