The Arai Quantic (Contour-X in North America) is the newest in the company's lineup, and importantly it t has passed the new more stringent ECE 22.06 testing. Sitting between the RX7-V and the Profile V towards the top end of the range, the Quantic or Contour-X is aimed at riders looking for all-day-long distance comfort and excellent ventilation. In this video, I'll take a look in detail at the helmet itself as well as a quick overview of the new testing standards. Most importantly I'll tell you what it's like to ride in and how the new features perform.
You can find more about the helmet at www.whyarai.co.uk/bike/model/...

I've been riding with the Arai Contour-x for 4 weeks now after a gruelling search for my new lid, so I'll give you all the highs and lows... Highs: 1) This thing is SOO unbelievably comfortable. It's like pushing your head into a velvet condom. (And that's a good thing!) 2) It's light. Real light. The reviews say the weight is on the higher side, but I find it remarkably light. Almost AGV light. 3) The ventilation is crazy good. You live in a hot climate? This thing is going to keep you cool. 4) My glasses go in with ease and sit on my nose. In fact, easier than any other AGV, Shoei or Shark helmet I've worn in the past. 5) It's got a smaller footprint than my old GT-Air... no bobblehead effect in a size XL. 6) It is beautiful. The Arai craftsmanship is stunning. I got the Face graphic, and I find myself just staring at the thing. 🙂 Lows: 1) Hot dang, it's expensive! The most money I have ever spent on a lid, but I keep them a long time so that's life. 2) WITH ALL THE VENTS OPEN, there is a lot of wind noise. But you see, ventilation requires moving air. Moving air is not quiet. When you close the two small top vents, it quiets down considerably. If you want a silent lid, go with the Shoei GT-Air 2 or 3. 3) The visor mechanism takes some getting used to. I have an old Arai Vector-2, so I'm used to it. Not a deal-breaker. 4) No photochromic shield available as of writing this. It's okay, I own sunglasses. ------------- Regrets: Zero Wallet: Hurting

Bought a Quantic recently and straight away I thought it was one of the best helmets I had bought so far. Quiet , comfortable, easy visor change, good ventilation and of course it comes a lovely choice of colours. Definitely would recommend this lid to anyone. Great review , agreed with everything said. I would certainly buy another if I was looking for a new lid.

Today, I popped my Arai cherry! The XL fits PERFECTLY! Even with wearing glasses, just perfect. Got a superb deal from Sports Bike Shop, £395 in the Frost Black! Thanks for this review Tony, I've watched it more than once since you first uploaded it. I thought I'd love the Arai, but I have quite a large head (62.5cm) so haven't really got on with Arais in the past as they only go up to a XL or 61-62cm. The Tour X4 was the first that fit beautifully, but I have a VFR800, so an adventure lid didn't really go with the bike.

You hit the nail on the head when you talked about the different types of wind noise you will get on different bikes with different riding positions. Tried one on my sport touring bike and it was awful. Used it on my sport bike and I didn’t think it was the same helmet because it was so much quieter.

I have an RX-7V, and I think the noise level really depends of your ventilations. When all the vents are fully opened, it surely is a very noisy helmet. But when you have all your vents fully closed, it's amazing how quiet this helmet is. It's even more quiet than my Shoei GT Air 2, which is a true touring helmet, and not a race helmet like the RX-7V.
@mancavemoto
@mancavemoto 3 жыл бұрын
Yes having vents open is going to add to the noise somewhat and how that airflow is controlled. The RX-7V is obviously primarily designed for racing, so Arai didn’t concentrate heavily on making it quiet, credit to them that it does so well

Thank you for a great review and I am super interested in this helmet, however, I have a question: What version of AT are you running and have you added a after market screen? I have a CRF1100L Africa Twin (2020 - base) with an aftermarket Puig screen and your remarks on noise are, for obvious reasons, very interesting to me. I added the screen because the OEM screen (the short one) is great for off road but at any speed over 120 kph it just becomes unbearable, for me obviously. With this screen it's a different bike. Thanks in advance!

@mancavemoto
@mancavemoto 2 жыл бұрын
Cheers, the pro shade works really well, the only problem I’ve encountered is mixed sun/shade combined with rain. Riding with the shade portion up in the rain means it gets dirty, so you do need to carry a cloth with you. I’ve not tried a photochromatic pinlock, but the visors are very good. I don’t think Arai have gone down that road yet

Very good review. But no mention was made of the chin strap. How was the comfort of the chin strap? A couple of years ago, I was hoping to buy an Arai XD4 adventure helmet. The comfort was stellar until I did up the rather unpadded chin strap, and felt choked by it, particularly when dropping my chin down to test the peak against the setting sun. So I bought the Shoei Hornet X2 instead. Problem solved.

Indeed, I have to say having tried many different Arai helmets, there doesn’t seem to be a consistent shape. The Quantic fits more like a Shoei, the profile V is fractionally rounder, the Rapide the same and I still cant get a perfect fit with the Tour X4, large is slightly too small, XL is slightly too big. They obviously make different helmets for different markets too. I understand that the domestic Japanese helmets have a rounder head form.

considering only safety parameters, where do you rate the quantic in arai's helmets? I am asking that because it does meet the new standard, but the parameters are not given in relation to the other arai's helmets. Can it be said that it is the safest of arai's helment has released to until today??, and if not, which arai helmet is the safest?

Its a case now that all helmets will need to meet the ECE22.06 standard, I would expect Arai helmets to do that anyway, but eventually the whole range will be rated to that certification

Question about fit: I tried this helmet in a store today, and the salesperson tested the fit by rotating it up and down, while I kept my head still. Honest as he is, he did not want to sell me this helmet, because he could rotate the chinpiece up to about eye hight. Is he right about that? Is that indeed a valid reason not to buy this helmet? Is anyone else able to rotate it up that much? Is it maybe due to the increased size of the helmet's opening?

@@mancavemoto Thanks, nice video! Joe does not try to rotate the helmet up and down, like my salesperson did, only left and right. So, maybe that is not a good way to measure a helmet's fitment. I will just get a 2nd opinion somewhere else, because I really want this helmet :D

had the helmet for a while now.. Helmet looks great, but cant use it really, so much wind draft inside the helmet, permanent in my eyes. makes long rides uncomfortable. Shame really... Even managed to get it in the Podium design. theres no way to extend the chin curtain, its just to short, turn your head to the side, and its like you've just opened the visor. But will have to swap for a Shoei NXR2... tested it this weekend, no problems here...
