The Arai XD-5 — also known as the Tour-X5 — is Arai's most versatile adventure helmet, completely redesigned from the ground up with a priority for protection. Configurable in three distinct styles (adventure, on-road, or off-road) by swapping or removing the peak and outer components, the XD-5 brings riders closer to the ideal Arai protective shape while delivering all-day comfort on any terrain. DOT and Snell M2020D certified.
The XD-5 features Arai's Intermediate Oval (IO) interior fit shape — a neutral design that tends to fit most riders well. A helmet must be tried on to determine a proper fit.
Shell: PB-cLc2 with Super Fibre Laminates
The Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction shell greatly increases strength and flexibility while maintaining low weight and a lower centre of gravity. A 10mm wider base (5mm flare per side) makes the helmet easier to put on and take off.
3D Arai Logo Duct
Just 3.5mm deep, the front logo duct feeds two central 10mm intake ports. It opens and closes easily with gloves and is designed to break away upon impact for enhanced glancing-off ability.
Innovative Peak
The all-new peak delivers more effective ventilation, improved high-speed flow-through performance, a greater range of sun-blocking adjustability, and increased resistance to buffeting. The elongated, rounded profile also helps protect against mud and debris.
Ventilation System (3 Intake / 5 Exhaust)
A completely new 8-vent system keeps riders cool in any situation. Key vents include the 3D logo duct, a 3-position centre top vent, a 3-position chin vent (for demisting and fresh air), an inner chin bar shutter (directs air to mouth or visor depending on position), side and neck exhaust vents, and a removable rear duct that also functions as a goggle-strap locator.
VAS-A Max Vision Shield
The Variable Axis System A (VAS-A) shield mechanism allows for faster, easier visor swaps and delivers a larger, clearer field of view. A Pinlock anti-fog lens insert is included standard.
Retractable Chin Spoiler
The pull-down chin spoiler reduces wind intrusion at the base of the helmet, helps draw out hot and humid air around the cheek pads, and reduces visor fogging and wind noise.
Interior Comfort
The FCS (Facial Contour System) cheek pads use multiple layers of varying foam densities with a "spring" foam for extra comfort at the lower jaw and cheeks. A 5mm peel-off inner layer allows for a customized fit. The Dry-Cool liner transfers heat and moisture away efficiently, and all interior components — head liner, cheek pads, neck roll, and chin curtain — are fully removable and washable with lukewarm water and gentle soap. The interior lining is odor-resistant, antimicrobial, and super soft.
Safety & Convenience
The ERS (Emergency Release System) integrates bright pull tabs inside the cheek pads for easier access to an injured rider. A double D-ring strap provides secure, reliable retention. A redesigned nose deflector makes goggle use easier.
