The XD-5 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.

Features:

• The all-new sd-5 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 an overall more comfortable riding experience.
• 3 Distinct Configurations: The XD-5 offers three distinct configurations depending on rider preference or riding conditions. Change the look every time you ride, or even during the same ride. The XD-5 has the option to use just the shield for street use, just the peak (with a set of your favorite goggles) for off-road use, and the shield and peak combined to create a truly multi-functional ADV helmet.
• The new VAS-A Max Vision system allows for easier and faster shield swaps. The shield can be attached or removed without the need for any tools. The peak utilizes only one screw on each side for removal/installation.
• The opening area for the XD-5 mouth-shutter is double the size compared to the XD-4. Thanks to the evolution in shell strength from the previous generation, the aperture could be made larger, and the mouth shutter could be made to flow more fresh air without the need for the mesh vents as seen on its predecessors.
• The effectiveness of conventional forehead vents could be limited by the rider's position, but with the front logo duct, airflow is unaffected by changes in riding position. Thanks to advances in shell technology, we can add holes in the forehead area for this vent without compromising the helmet's ability to protect.
• The Hyper-Ridge has been re-sculpted to provide a flat surface on the sides to allow for the easy installation of a wide range of communication devices. This increases the bonding surface between the device and the helmet and helps to reduce buffeting or possible slip-offs.
• Speakers can be installed directly to the provided hook & loop panel without the need to remove the cheek pad covers. Both ear pockets are deep and wide, designed to accommodate thicker speakers with plenty of room to position them to increase comfort.
• A pocket to tuck away excess wiring and connectors as well as holes to easily run wires from side to side, have been incorporated into the neck roll to prevent wires coming loose while putting on or taking off the helmet. These features provide a smart way to tackle cable management inside your helmet.
