What's this?

Arai XD-5 Helmet

PB-CLC2 Shell:

  • Stronger, rounder and smoother shell compared to the previous generation
    • The smooth, round shell design allows the helmet to "glance off" impact energy, helping to prevent that energy from transferring to your head and body before the EPS foam is tasked with absorbing that energy
  • Constructed with a uniformly strong vacuum formed Super Fiber, 30% stronger than traditional fiberglass
  • Widened, more open interior / jaw area for added comfort and easier ingress

Shield:

  • VAS-A face shield system allows for tool-less change and removal
  • Designed to be easily removed for use with goggles
    • Most goggles can clear the shield in the raised position without removal
  • Pinlock ready (Pinlock 120 Lens Included)

Peak:

  • Redesigned to prevent wind buffeting at highway speeds
  • Easily removeable (1 flat-head screw per side) for improved high-speed stability
  • Adjustable height to fit rider preference

Ventilation:

  • Forehead logo vent ducting allows for optimal airflow in any riding position
  • Top vent for improved top-of-the-head cooling in hotter climates or conditions
  • Chin vent with large intake ports, double the size of the XD-4 chin vents
    • Inner chin vent shutter for additional tunability of the chin vent's airflow and direction
  • Rear AR Spoiler draws hot air out of helmet, while reducing turbulence at high speeds
  • Chin, forehead, top and rear spoiler vents are adjustable to your preference or riding style

Interior:

  • Fully removable/replaceable/washable comfort head liner and cheek pads
  • Constructed of odor resistant materials
  • Removable 5mm foam on left and right for micro fitting, along with adjustable top liner
  • Pull-down air flap under the chin bar reduces wind intrusion and improves ventilation

Communication System Compatibility:

  • Re-sculpted Hyper-Ridge shell design provides a flat surface for communication system mounting
  • Seamless speaker mounting without removing the cheek pad covers
    • Integrated hook & loop panel with a large, deep recess for premium speakers
  • Neck roll wire pocket for optimal wire management and routing

Safety:

  • DOT and Snell M2020 approved
  • Emergency cheek pad release system


The Arai XD-5 Helmet stands as the pinnacle in the realm of ADV Touring. Engineered with the aim of enhancing the glancing off capability of adventure helmets, Arai has fashioned a sturdier, rounder and smoother shell to effectively disperse impact energy, and improved upon the XD-4 in every way imaginable.

Street-Able

The XD-5 epitomizes safety and comfort for riders hitting the streets. Its robust shell, crafted with vacuum formed Super Fiber, ensures maximum protection while minimizing energy transfer during impacts. The redesigned peak enhances stability against wind buffeting, ideal for long highway rides. Plus, the VAS-A shield system offers improved clarity and Pinlock compatibility to combat fogging.

Dirt Prepared

Transition seamlessly from street to rugged terrain with the XD-5. Its removable visor allows easy switch to goggles, while most goggles fit snugly under the raised face shield. Customizable ventilation ensures comfort on highways or technical trails, adapting effortlessly to your riding needs.

Ventilation

Crafting a helmet with optimal airflow is no easy feat, but the XD-5 delivers. Its oversized front mouth vent provides ample fresh air, while an interior shutter lets you direct airflow as needed - towards your mouth or up to the face shield for fog-free vision.

Bluetooth Ready

With Bluetooth integration in mind, the XD-5's design streamlines communication system installation. Its flat mounting area and spacious speaker slots simplify external and internal setup, while the neck roll ensures tidy wire routing. The XD-5 is the pinnacle of ADV Touring, offering top-tier safety, comfort, and versatility.
