Arai Quantic Space helmet in blue

The Arai Quantic is a new-for-2021 sports-touring helmet. It is Arai’s first ECE 22/06 helmet. It is made from a brand new shell (PB e-cLc). Arais always have particularly strong shells, but the shell on the Quantic has a shell that is lighter, but just as strong, as other Arais. You still get the classic, round ,shell shape that Arai contends allows their helmets to better glance off impacts.

All the interior parts can be swapped out for fittings that are thicker or thinner in order to allow the Quantic to be custom fitted. The cheekpads are ERS prepared to enable them to be removed speedily in the event of an accident. The helmet comes with a Pinlock 120 equivalent in the box.

Venting is a big deal on the Arai Quantic. There are 12 vents in total; six in and six out. The 3D Arai logo on the brow conceals two air intakes. You also get two tear duct vents on the top of the helmet and a chin vent. Not to be forgotten are the eyebrow vents on the visor. Air exhausts through vents in the rear spoiler, through two side exhausts and through the neck exhaust.

A nice touch on the Quantic is the visor latch that Arai has lifted from it Formula One helmets. This locks the visor securely into place, and can easily be operated with one finger. Inside the helmet you get a breath guard that directs hot air away from the visor, whilst a chin curtain reduces noise and helps the air vents work better.

Like all Arais, every single Quantic is inspected five times during its construction. And like all Arais the Quantic is tested to a standard that is higher than the statutory requirement; and that includes the dropping of a 3kg test cone on to the shell. The eps is multi-density as you might expect. Indeed, on the Quantic there are never less than three densities, and as many as five in some areas.

The Arai Quantic comes in three shell sizes; two for each actual size.
