Arai helmets
Arai helmets are, unquestionably, amongst the best motorcycle helmets money can buy. Arai have made helmets for some of the most famous names in bike racing. The company has been making motorcycle helmets since 1926 and bring huge amounts of experience and expertise to all the helmet models they make. All Arai helmets are hand made by experienced helmet technicians in their own factory in Japan.
Arai probably make the safest helmets. Their absolute focus is safety. They will not compromise by adding internal visors or integrated comms.
In terms of Arai full face helmets we offer the Arai Quantic and the Arai Concept-XE (originally called the Arai Rapide).
Since Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman set of around the world, Arai adventure helmets have been the choice of many a world motorbike tourer. Now they have launched the ground breaking Arai Tour-X5 which is the first of the big two to be ECE 22-06.
Arai helmets may be good, and are worth the money, but they are not quiet. For Arai, that is not a priority. Few would question the assertion that Arai makes the best quality and safest helmets on the market. They are beautifully put together by hand in Arai's own factory in Japan, using only the highest grade materials and components, by skilled workers. Each helmet takes 18 man-hours to make and will be quality checked five times during the manufacturing process. The final products are tested in house to a higher standard that other helmets.
Arai helmets come in sizes from XS to XL. The size relates to the circumference of your head in centimetres. XS is 53-54cm, S is 55-56cm, M is 57-58cm, L is 59-60cm and XL is 61-62cm. But shape is also important in ensuring a good fit.
Arai was the pioneer in developing helmets that can withstand oblique-angled impacts, reducing the rotational forces that can cause irreparable damage to the brain. It is because of this that Arai has such round shells and tend to be a little larger and heavier than other brands.

Verified customer reviews for Arai helmets
Arai Quantic Face helmet in red
Having worn Arai helmets for nearly 30 years, I have not found a good reason to change to another make. Fits me perfectly I like having the covers over the visor mechanism that some detest. Dont think the recent colours have been up to much including this one but function wins over appearance for me
Arai Concept-XE helmet in React brown
Pulled the trigger on the Arai Concept-XE helmet in React Brown - really pleased with the helmet and service from Motolegends. The helmet is very stylish, comfortable with great venting airflow and peripheral vision is very good. Thank you!
Arai Tour-X4 helmet in frost black
As you would expect a top quality helmet. The finish, fittings and lining all make you feel it has been hand crafted. The fit of the helmet surprised me as I wasnt too sure if it would be right for me, I usually suit Shoei helmets. I was very pleased to find it was a great fit and very comfortable. I usually wear a size small and this size fitted fine in the Arai. The helmet feels a bit heavy when first picked up but to be honest you dont really notice it once you are wearing it. On the bike I found the helmet to be comfortable and fairly quiet, certainly no noisier than other makes of adventure helmet. The peak seems fine so far and doesnt catch the wind too much also no problems with noise or vibration. I havent found any problem with side winds or when doing looks over the shoulder. The helmet has been used on a Tenere 700 and a CRF300L. Venting is very good but this also means it can be a bit chilly in the colder weather. You will want to wear a wind proof neck tube that can be pulled up over your chin. Great helmet at a bargain price as I got it in a Motolegends Sunday sale.
