8.6/ 10

Arai's first ECE 22.06 helmet: a hand-made shell, great ventilation and Arai's philosophy of a shell that glances off rather than grips.

Scores by category

Arai full-face with a hand-made PB-eCLC shell, ECE 22.06 approved and with a Pinlock 120 Max Vision included. No internal sun visor.

Why it stands out

Arai makes its shells by hand and believes in a very specific idea: a smooth, rounded, strong shell that glances off the tarmac in a crash instead of catching. The Quantic was its first helmet approved to ECE 22.06.

Key figures

  • ECE 22.06 approved.
  • Hand-made PB-eCLC fibre shell.
  • Pinlock 120 Max Vision included.

Our verdict

A helmet for riders who buy into Arai’s approach to safety and want an excellent fit. If you need a sun visor or are watching the price, the HJC RPHA 71 or Shoei GT-Air 3 are better fits.
