Description
One of the biggest changes is the visor system and its visor. The new VAS-A visor system, derived from the VAS-V system developed for the RX-7V, 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.
Other improvements include a completely new ventilation system. The ventilation system of the Tour-X5 is the second model to feature the 3D logo duct, previously introduced on the Quantic. Complemented by the new AR Spoiler and the latest iteration of the Delta Duct, the Delta Duct 6, the Tour-X5 also features a completely new chin vent. The ventilation system of the Tour-X5 will have ample air flow to keep you cool no matter what, so don’t sweat it. Additionally, the inner vent gate can flow air to the mouth or visor for increased defogging. As with any Arai model, ventilation parts like the 3D Logo Duct, AR Spoiler and Delta Duct 6 are made to break off during an impact for maximum Glancing Off performance.
On the inside, the interior is fully removable, with an adjustable pad at the rear of the crown pad. A redesigned nose deflector will make the use of goggles easy. FCS cheek pads will give a firm fit both on- and off-road.
Outher Shell: PB-CLC2
Arai’s Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction greatly increases shell strength and flexibility while maintaining low weight and a lower centre of gravity. Positioned across the top of the eye port, this band contributes to the use of a thinner EPS liner which greatly enhances the upward field of view. A specially designed “mechanically expanded fibre mat”, sandwiched between the inner and outer layers of Arai’s proprietary Super Fibre Laminates, is used to reinforce and bond these two Super Fibre layers without adding significant weight to the helmet. The latest “Z-Mixture” resins increases material adhesion requiring less resin for a stronger bond between materials for a thinner and lighter shell.
Variable Axis System A (VAS-A)
This new visor system allows for easier and faster visor swaps. The visor can be attached or removed without the need for any tools. The peak utilizes only one screw on each side for easy removal & installation. With VAS, the visor mounting position is lowered, yielding an average of an additional 10mm of smoother shell across both temple areas, in pursuit of the ideal smoother shape that increases the ability to glance off impact energy. The visor is designed to follow the line of the eye-opening area on the shell while keeping a continuous curvature. A larger, clearer field-of-view is the result. The visor radius follows the shape of the helmet, providing a higher level of glancing off ability.
3 Configurations
Multi-purpose styles for your ride: adventure, on-road, and off-road. Changing to either of the styles does not require additional parts. A more open eye-port is optimized for wearing goggles.
Innovative Peak
The all-new peak is 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 a more comfortable riding experience
Tour-X5 Ventilation
The Tour-X5 has a completely new ventilation system. With a total of three intake vents and five exhaust vents, the ventilation is further improved from the previous generation. Stay cool in any situation.
ECE R22-06
ECE R22–06 requires a much more stringent testing process than the previous ECE R22-05 and includes an oblique test to measure rotation.
