SKU: HEAR4007 Arai XD-5 Helmet - Aluminum Silver

Arai XD-5 Helmet - Aluminum Silver
# 0140-02

The XD-5 is a completely redesigned helmet, packed with many new features. As with everything from Arai, every improvement is made with a priority for protection. And this new model brings us ever closer to the ideal Arai shape for protection.

One of the biggest changes is the visor system and its visor. The new VAS-A visor system, derived from the VAS-V system originally developed for the Corsair-X, has been designed to maximize Glancing-Off performance, meaning more surface area to glance off impact energy whilst offering easy installation and removal of the visor and peak. The visor itself has been redesigned for increased visibility and Glancing-Off performance, and is now a Max Vision visor, so a Pinlock insert can easily be installed. The new VAS-A visor system also makes it easier to switch, without tools, to one of the other styles. You can choose between Adventure, Off-road and On-road.

• Intermediate Oval head shape
• PB-cLc² shell is assembled using an assortment of materials
• The forehead area of the shell is reinforced by a super fiber belt which is similar to the way in which bands strengthen a barrel
• VAS-A shield system lowered to further improve 'glancing off' ability
• Designed for more effective ventilation, increased high speed flow-through performance, greater range of adjustability for blocking the sun, and is more resistant to buffeting, all of which leads to an overall more comfortable riding experience
• VAS-A Shield System allows for easier and faster shield swaps
• The shield can be attached or removed without the need for any tools
• The peak utilizes only one screw on each side for removal/installation
• Mouth Shutter allows for more fresh air without the need for the mesh vents as seen on predecessors
• Inner Shutter works in conjunction with the mouth shutter, allowing you to adjust the mount of airflow entering the helmet
• If the inner and outer shutters are both open, the air will be directed towards your mouth
• If the outer shutter is open and the inner closed, the air will be directed towards the shield and help to reduce fogging
• Front Logo Duct allows for airflow that is unaffected by the rider's position
• Allows for holes in the forehead area for this vent without compromising the helmet's ability to protect
• VAS-A Max-Vision Shield - the optional Pinlock® insert for this model has advanced to be effective at resisting fogging, even in extreme conditions, across the entire field of view
• Preserves the wide field-for-view and high level of visibility expected of an XD model
• AR Spoiler set in a position that makes it ideal for adventure riding contributes to reducing fatigue from turbulent air throughout long rides, and works to draw out hot air from the crown area
• Odor-Resistant Interior has the same level of acidity as bare skin and has odor-resistant and stain-resistant properties
• The head-liner is equipped with a removable foam layer on both the left and right sides, allowing you to remove 5 mm of foam from each side if desired for micro-fitting
• Air Flap retractable pull-down spoiler reduces wind intrusion into the bottom of the helmet and helps to pull out hot and humid exhaled air around the sculpted leading edges of the cheek pads
• This coordinated ventilation combined with fresh intake from the chin vent, also helps to reduce shield fogging
• Device Compatibility - The Hyper-Ridge® has been re-sculpted to provide a flat surface on the sides to allow for the easy installation of a wide range of communication devices. This increases bonding surface between the device and the helmet, and helps to reduce buffeting or possible slip-offs
• Speaker Pocket - Speakers can be installed directly to the provided hook and loop panel without the need to remove the cheek pad covers
• Both ear pockets are deep and wide, designed to accommodate even the thickest speakers with plenty of room to position them to increase comfort
• Provides a smart way to tackle cable management inside your helmet
• A pocket to tuck away excess wiring and connectors as well as holes to easily run wires from side to side, have been incorporated into the neck roll to prevent wires coming loose while putting on or taking off the helmet

How to Measure: Use a soft measuring tape to measure the HCM* (circumference of your head), at the temple above the eyebrows.

*HCM (Head Circumference Measurement) should be a starting point only in determining your helmet size. Determining the best possible fit should be from actual test fittings of Arai's various interior fit packages. Changes and updates can affect the standard pad thickness supplied with your helmet.
