Arai XD-5 Solid Helmet

The Arai XD5 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. 

XD-5 FIT: Arai is the only company offering multiple interior-fit shapes to better address the infinite variety of riders’ head shapes and sizes. No one pays more attention to the subtle variations and infinite possibilities of the human head shape than Arai.

• SNELL M2020, NHSTA, And DOT Certified!!
• Intermediate oval shape which fits the majority of head shapes in the North American markets
• Consistently round and smooth shell, maintaining Glancing Off shape concept
• Rounded chin bar maintains compact shell length resulting in less protrusion, leaving it less likely to catch and dig during a spill
• Super Fiber provides 30% higher tensile strength than standard fiberglass and provides increased penetration resistance
• Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-CLC) shell
• Chin bar vent grill installed on a rounded chin bar, mounted form the outside on the exterior vent cap and can be easily removed for cleaning or damage replacement—vent cap also designed to break way from the chin bar in event of impact
• The Air-Through top-rear-duct center brace also functions as a goggle-strap locator
• Diffusers can be removed or replaced quickly and easily by removing a single screw on the rear-duct center brace
• Air outlets on the peak are made larger to compensate for increased lift and is made with durable, yet extremely flexible material, mounted with plastic screws designed to break on impact, so as to not snag on impact which could send energy into the helmet or cause excess rotational force
• Emergency release cheek pad design allows trained medical personnel easier access to an injured rider, reducing the chance of unintentional injury
  Removable neck roll allows easy and convenient cleaning of the helmet
