Arai Tour-X5 COSMIC, adventure helmet

Article No.: 11086517

It's time for a new adventure with the brand new Tour-X5! It's time to discover the world!

The Tour-X5 is a completely redesigned helmet with many new features. As with all Arai products, protection is at the forefront of every improvement. And this new model brings us ever closer to the ideal Arai shape for rider protection.

One of the most comprehensive changes is the visor system. The new VAS-A visor system is derived from the VAS-V system developed for the RX-7V. It optimizes the gliding ability because it offers more surface area for the dissipation of impact energy. At the same time, it makes it easier to fit and remove the visor and peak. The visor has been redesigned to improve the field of vision and gliding ability. It is now a Max Vision visor so that a Pinlock insert can be easily installed. The new VAS-A visor system also makes it easier to change to one of the other visors without tools. You can choose between Adventure (long distance), Off-Road (off-road) and On-Road (road).

Other improvements include a completely new ventilation system. The Tour-X5 ventilation system is the second model to be equipped with the 3D logo channel, which was already introduced on the Quantic. With the new AR Spoiler and the latest Delta Duct version "Delta Duct 6", the Tour-X5 also has a completely new chin ventilation system. The ventilation system of the Tour-X5 ensures sufficient airflow to keep you cool in all situations. The inner ventilation opening can direct additional air to the mouth or visor to prevent fogging. As with all Arai models, ventilation elements such as the 3D Logo Channel, AR Spoiler and Delta Duct 6 have been designed to break off in the event of an impact to ensure optimum glide-off ability.

The inner lining can be completely removed and features an adjustable pad on the back of the crown padding. A newly designed nose wind deflector makes it easier to wear goggles. The FCS cheek pads provide a firm fit on and off the road.

Shell construction: PB-CLC2

The complex laminate construction increases the strength and flexibility of the shell while keeping the weight low and the center of gravity low. This band is located above the eye-opening and allows the use of a thinner EPS lining. This significantly improves the field of vision upwards. Using a specially developed “mechanically expanded fiberglass mat" between the inner and outer layers of Arai's proprietary superfiber laminates, these two superfiber layers are reinforced and bonded without making the helmet significantly heavier. The latest Z-Mixture resins increase material adhesion, so less resin is needed for a stronger bond between the materials. The helmet shell becomes thinner and lighter.

Variable Axis System A (A/VAS-A)

The new visor system makes it easier and quicker to change the visor. The visor can be fitted or removed without tools. The visor is fitted or removed with just one screw on each side. With the VAS, the visor attachment is lowered, resulting in an approx. 10 mm larger smooth shell surface in both temple areas. This achieves the ideal, smoother shape, which increases the gliding ability. The visor follows the line of the eye-opening on the helmet shell and has a continuous curvature. The result is a larger and clearer field of vision. The radius of the visor adapts to the shape of the helmet and ensures better glide.

Pinlock

Pinlock visors from Arai prevent the field of vision from fogging up while riding. The Pinlock glass is applied to a compatible visor, where it creates an ultra-thin double glazing.

3 configurations

You can choose between the Adventure (long-distance), Off-Road (off-road) and On-Road (road) settings when riding. No additional parts are required for the change. A more open field of vision makes it easier to wear glasses.

10 mm wider base

The exclusive shell has been widened by 5 mm on each side. The helmet is therefore 10 mm wider at the bottom and can be put on and taken off more easily.

3D Arai logo channel

The new, only 3.5 mm large 3D Arai logo channel immediately catches the eye and supplies two central 10 mm large inlet openings underneath. This is the first time this channel has been used on an Arai helmet and is only possible due to the thickness and construction of the PB-CLC2 shell. It also works very well at low speeds and in an upright sitting position. At only 50 km/h it provides an additional airflow of 40%, at 120 km/h it is 7% compared to models without this channel. It can be easily opened or closed with summer or winter gloves using a short-stroke lever on the top. When the rider cannot see the lever and the logo is in its normal position, the channel is open. The Arai logo channel is designed to release on impact to improve slide-off performance.

Medium upper ventilation - intake

Low height with improved airflow. In the event of an impact, this center vent breaks away so as not to impair glide-off ability. The channel is a great improvement without compromising the character of an Arai helmet. The top vent has three positions - closed, semi-open and open - to adjust the airflow and prevent water from entering when closed.

Neck vent flaps

Direct warm and stale air out of the helmet. At the same time, this creates an increased air flow in the lower helmet area.

Rear ventilation/spoiler

The rear ventilation is integrated in the spoiler and is operated via a 3-way slider. The spoiler is inspired by the DF-X2 of the RX-7V Racing, but has been redesigned for touring use. (Nevertheless tested in Suzuka up to 300 km/h!) The spoiler sits a little further forward on the shell, the ventilation is fed from 3 connections in the shell. As part of the Quantic's comprehensive ventilation system, it not only draws in air efficiently, the spoiler also smoothes the airflow over (and from the side of) the helmet, which improves stability and reduces buffeting, especially during overtaking maneuvers at highway speeds. The result: significantly less fatigue for the rider. The vent/spoiler combination is designed to be as thin and light as possible so that it is crushed or breaks away in the event of an impact and therefore has no impact on the protective performance.

Air diffusers for the upper rear channel

The air-permeable center strut of the upper rear channel also serves as a goggle strap holder. The diffusers can be quickly and easily removed or replaced by removing a single screw on the rear channel center brace.

Side vents

Additional side vents in the lower part of the helmet remove warm and stale air from the helmet. Integrated into the shell construction, these outlets are aerodynamically optimized. A cleverly placed layer of special foam on the inside reduces wind noise without impairing ventilation performance.

Double-D closure

The flat double-D fastener adapts gently to the user's head without getting in the way. No moving parts, no susceptibility to rust, a chinstrap that always fits snugly and the impossibility of opening it yourself are convincing arguments in favor of this type of closure.

Emergency Release System (ERS)

Enables quicker access to an injured rider. By pulling the orange tabs integrated in the pads, the cheek pads fall out. This makes it easier for rescuers to remove the helmet. This reduces the risk of further injuries.

ECE R22-06

ECE R22 is the most widely used international helmet standard, required by over 50 countries worldwide. ECE R22-06 requires a much stricter test procedure than the previous ECE R22-05 and includes an oblique test to measure rotation.
