FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the Variable Axis System (VAS)?
The VAS lowers the shield pivot point, allowing for more hardening of the critical upper forehead area of the shell, thereby enhancing impact protection.
Is the PRO Shade System included with the Arai Quantic helmet?
No, the PRO Shade System is an optional accessory and is not included as standard with the Arai Quantic helmet.
How do I clean the interior of the Arai Quantic helmet?
The interior comfort liner is generally removable. Refer to the product manual for specific cleaning instructions, which typically involve hand washing with mild soap and water and air drying.
Can I fit a communication system into the Arai Quantic helmet?
Yes, the helmet is designed with space for communication system speakers and microphones. However, installation may vary depending on the specific system.
What does 'PB e-cLc' stand for in the shell construction?
PB e-cLc refers to a Peripherally Belted e-Complex Laminate Construction, a proprietary Arai technology that uses a special band across the forehead to distribute impact forces and increase shell rigidity.
Is the Arai Quantic helmet suitable for track days?
While primarily designed for road use, the Quantic incorporates race-derived safety features and aerodynamic performance that make it suitable for spirited riding and occasional track day use.
What is the purpose of the de-mist option on the visor?
The de-mist option is designed to help prevent the visor from fogging up in cold or humid conditions, improving visibility for the rider.
Troubleshooting
Visor fogging up excessively
Ensure the de-mist option or a Pinlock insert is correctly installed on the visor. Clean the visor thoroughly.
Poor airflow or ventilation issues
Check that all ventilation vents are open and that no debris is blocking the ducts or exhaust ports. Ensure the interior liner is not obstructing airflow.
Helmet feels uncomfortable or causes pressure points
Verify you have the correct size helmet. Consider trying different padding options or consulting with a helmet specialist for a custom fit, as interior liners can sometimes be adjusted or replaced.
Chin strap is difficult to fasten or unfasten
Ensure the D-ring or buckle mechanism is clean and free of debris. Practice fastening and unfastening to become familiar with the system.
