Arai’s flagship model for the Touring-Adventure segment continues to offer the best option for greater enjoyment of adventures. As it could not be otherwise, the Arai Tour-X5 complies with the current homologation ECE 22-06For its manufacture, Super Fiber material is used, a compound made with PB-CLC2 that offers 30% greater resistance compared to conventional fiberglass.
The multi-density, one-piece EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) inner shell ensures the best absorption against impacts, while maintaining its lightness. The large panoramic screen allows excellent visibility and its removal is now easier, thanks to the VAS-A system, which does not require the use of tools.
The studied ventilation system provides the greatest efficiency. And its double buckle closure confirms the best fit for any size, with the safest system that currently exists. The successor to the Tour-X4 has been designed to offer more comfortable use, both on and off road. A model that stands out for its versatility of use, allowing you to change its aesthetics and features easily by simply removing the visor, the screen or both.
Arai Tour-X5 2026 in detail
The Arai Tour-X5 incorporates a new visor that has been designed to provide more effective ventilation. It provides greater continuous air flow performance at high speed and has a greater surface area to avoid the sun’s action on the pilot’s eyes. In addition, it is more resistant to shocks. Overall, it offers a more comfortable riding experience which results in the effectiveness of the helmet.
Thanks to the space between the shell and the visor, which is quite wide, it allows greater air flow and minimizes the creation of a “sail effect” at high speeds, and ensures that if there is an upward movement of the head, it does not result in a very sudden pull backwards due to the wind.
The Tour-X5 debuts the screen with MAX-Vision visor, it has been designed to increase visibility and effectiveness against possible impacts. With its large surface, which favors the field of vision and offers a high level of visibility. The larger surface area allows the energy produced in the event of an impact to be better diverted.
It has an anti-scratch and ultraviolet (UV) ray resistant treatment. Additionally, the Pinlock (120 XLT Series and included in the box) mounts more easily; which confirms its effectiveness against fogging due to temperature changes throughout the field of vision, even in the most extreme weather conditions.
It incorporates the VAS-A system, a solution derived from the VAS-V system developed for the RX-7V, which allows the assembly and disassembly of the screen in a simpler way by eliminating the use of tools. For its part, a single screw is used on each side to secure the visor. Facilitating its handling and, therefore, the versatility of use of the helmet.
With the new front duct for interior ventilation, functionality is not limited by the visor, unlike previous conventional intakes, which could be limited by the driver’s driving position. In this case, the new shot takes advantage of the location of the brand’s logo, which is raised and incorporated into it. The technological advances applied to the outer shell have allowed the addition of ventilation holes in the front area, without compromising the protection capacity of the Tour-X5.
The ventilation area in the chin guard has also been optimized. Thanks to the improved resistance of the shell compared to the previous generation. It has been expanded and now its lid allows more fresh air to flow; without the need for previously used mesh air closures.
Interior ventilation is improved with the new opening in the chin and the integrated spoiler, as well as the three Venturi extractors that achieve absolute comfort. The new spoiler that is placed in an ideal position for Adventure driving. The AR spoiler helps reduce fatigue caused by wind turbulence during long trips and extracts hot air from inside the helmet at will, by mounting a closure system.
To enhance stability at high speed, the front deflector, located under the chin guard, reduces wind entry into the lower part of the helmet and helps extract exhaled air around the cheek pieces. This coordinated ventilation, along with fresh air intake from the chin, also helps prevent the screen from fogging up.
The interior of the Tour-X5 has the same acidity level (ph) as human skin, with odor and stain resistant properties. The liner is equipped with a removable foam layer on the left and right sides, allowing you to remove 5mm of foam from each side for micrometric adjustment. As well as to insert the head more comfortably.
The fabric that forms its inner layer is hypoallergenic and antibacterial for greater comfort of use. This liner is removable and can be washed. Additionally, the new gaps in the ear area are deep and wide, allowing speakers to be installed directly into the Velcro panel without needing to remove the cheek covers.
The new nasal air deflector allows use with glasses, thus continuing Arai’s line of facilitating ergonomics and user comfort. The Arai Tour-X5 has a weight of 1,700 grams (+/- 50 GR.) and is available in sizes ranging from XS to XL. It has no less than 26 different color schemes. Five are solid colors and represent the access version of the Tour-X5 for 899.95 euros.
One step above are the designs with more elaborate graphics, whose cost rises up to 999.94 euros. It comes with its own storage case and offers a five-year warranty. More information and details on the official website of Bihr, distributor of the brand in our country.
