Arai Adventure Motorcycle Helmets

The Arai Tour-X5 is the most advanced adventure helmet Arai has ever produced - and the first of the major adventure lids to achieve ECE 22-06 certification. Launched at the tail end of 2023, it replaces the long-standing Tour-X4, bringing with it a host of updates while staying true to Arai’s uncompromising approach to safety.

As ever, Arai won’t entertain features that undermine the integrity of the shell. So there’s no drop-down sun visor, no flip-up chin bar and no integrated comms system. What you get instead is a round, strong, handmade helmet designed to reduce rotational forces and glance off impacts, exactly as Arai intended.

Compared to the Tour-X4, the new helmet offers a simpler visor mechanism (tool-free removal), an improved peak design (still requires a tool, but easier to manage), a larger visor aperture, and better optical clarity. The nose is now flatter, which improves glancing-off performance, and venting has been significantly upgraded for better airflow in hot or technical riding.

You’ll also find the usual Arai refinements: a MaxVision Pinlock 120 in the box, D-ring strap fastener, and that unmistakable hand-built quality.
