FAQs
What makes the Variable Axis System (VAS) beneficial?
The VAS system repositions the shield pivot point, allowing for a smoother shell shape which improves impact energy management and reduces aerodynamic drag.
Is this helmet suitable for track days?
While it incorporates race-derived technology and offers excellent protection, its primary design is for sports-touring. For dedicated track use, Arai offers models specifically engineered for those demands.
How do I clean the interior liner?
Most Arai liners are removable. Hand wash gently with mild soap and cool water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry completely before reassembling.
Does the helmet come with a Pinlock insert?
Yes, the Arai Quantic Abstract helmet includes a Pinlock insert for enhanced anti-fog performance.
Can I install a communication system?
Yes, the helmet is designed with space for speakers, and most aftermarket communication systems can be fitted. Ensure installation does not compromise the helmet's structural integrity.
What is the warranty period for this helmet?
Arai helmets typically come with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the product documentation or Arai's official website for specific warranty terms and duration.
How do I adjust the chin vent?
The chin vent typically has a three-position slider allowing you to control airflow from fully open to fully closed, or a middle setting.
Troubleshooting
Visor fogs up easily.
Ensure the Pinlock insert is correctly installed and that its anti-fog coating is clean. Use the included de-mist option if available.
Wind noise is excessive.
Check that the visor is fully closed and latched. Ensure all vents are properly sealed or adjusted as needed. Consider adding a chin curtain if not already fitted.
Ventilation seems insufficient.
Verify that all ventilation ports are open and free of obstructions. Check that the interior liner is correctly positioned to allow airflow.
Strap is uncomfortable.
Adjust the strap length for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the D-ring closure is correctly fastened and that any padding on the strap is correctly positioned.
