Product Information

Full details

The Arai Quantic Abstract helmet is designed for adult, unisex riders focused on sports-touring, offering race-derived performance combined with long-ride comfort. Its key benefit is the advanced e-Complex Laminate Construction (e-cLc) shell with VAS for superior protection and aerodynamics. A potential caveat for some riders might be the specific fit characteristic of Arai helmets, which is known for its premium, performance-oriented feel.

FAQs

What makes the e-cLc shell different?

The e-Complex Laminate Construction (e-cLc) is Arai's proprietary technology that combines multiple layers of specialized materials to create a shell that is both incredibly strong and surprisingly lightweight, offering superior impact absorption.

Is this helmet suitable for racing?

While it features race-derived technology like the e-cLc shell and VAS system, the Quantic is primarily designed for sports-touring. For pure track use, Arai offers specific racing models that meet stricter homologation standards.

How do I clean the helmet's interior?

The interior comfort liner is usually removable. Hand wash it gently with mild soap and cool water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely. Do not use a washing machine or dryer.

What is the purpose of the VAS system?

The Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the shield's pivot point, allowing for a larger, smoother eye port opening and reducing the energy directed to the brow area during an impact. It also improves stability and aerodynamics.

Does the Blue colorway come in other shades?

The description specifies a Blue/Black/White colorway for this variant. While Arai often has multiple color options for a model, this specific 'Abstract - Blue' variant refers to this particular combination.

What is the warranty period for Arai helmets?

Arai typically offers a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The specific duration can vary by region, but it is generally several years from the date of purchase. Please refer to the warranty documentation included with your helmet for exact details.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points.

This is common with new Arai helmets as they break in. Wear the helmet for short periods initially. If pressure points persist after several uses, consider Arai's aftermarket liner and cheek pad options for a more customized fit.

Visor fogs up easily.

Ensure the visor is fully closed. For persistent fogging, consider using an anti-fog spray or insert, or ensure the helmet's ventilation is open to improve airflow.

Difficulty removing or installing the visor.

Refer to the VAS system instructions specific to your helmet model. Ensure the shield is in the fully open position and follow the steps for releasing the mechanism precisely.

Wind noise seems excessive.

Check that the visor is properly sealed against the helmet's eye port seal. Ensure all vents are closed if not needed for cooling. A properly fitting helmet with good aerodynamics should minimize wind noise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Initial Fit Adjustment: Ensure the helmet fits snugly but comfortably. The cheek pads and liner are designed to mold to your head over time. Consult the Arai sizing guide for precise measurements.
  2. Visor Operation: Familiarize yourself with the VAS shield mechanism for smooth opening, closing, and removal for cleaning or replacement.

Compatibility:

  • Eyewear: Designed to accommodate most standard eyeglasses with recessed channels in the cheek pads.
  • Aftermarket Shields: Compatible with Arai Pro-Shade systems and other genuine Arai shields designed for the VAS system.
  • Communication Systems: While not integrated, the helmet offers space for mounting aftermarket communication system speakers and microphones. Ensure installation does not compromise the helmet's structural integrity.

Care:

  • Exterior: Clean the shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Interior Liner: The comfort liner is typically removable and washable. Follow specific instructions for your model to hand wash with mild soap and water, and air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Visor: Clean the visor with a soft cloth and water or a dedicated visor cleaner. Avoid using petroleum-based products.
  • Ventilation Ports: Keep vents clear of debris by gently cleaning with a soft brush or compressed air.
