TRAVERSE 38
NEW ARAI ADVENTURE
It is time for a new adventure with the all-new Tour-X5 ! It ’ s time to ride the earth !
The Tour-X5 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 Arai says this new model brings them ever closer to the ideal shape for protection .
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 maximise 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 . The Arai Tour-X-5 retails for around AU $ 1200 .
