Reviews Video: Arai Tour-X5 helmet review
It's been a long wait, but the fifth incarnation of Arai's Tour-X range lives up to the hype

Arai Egg-Shaped Chin Curtain - V Amazing addition didn t realise it was a thing, would've brought it so much sooner
Arai Tour X5 - Discovery Black I have loved my TourX4 for years. So I was expecting a similarly good helmet with the TourX5.
Only major improvement is the visor changing mechanism is a big improvement. Very easy to remove peak/visor and replace.
However I find the X5 much much noisier than the X4! Pointless trying to listen to music or talk via intercom over 60 mph.
Rest of helmet is of course usual Arai quality. Build quality is good, although there was a tiny crease in the forehead area of the inner lining that I had to gently squeeze level, since then it's fitted perfectly/
Overall slightly disappointed in a very expensive helmet, mainly due to the wind noise around the visor attachment area.
Actually wish I'd bought an X4 last year!
Arai Quantic - Mosaic Black I have had Shoei and Arai helmets and the Arai just fitted and felt just that bit more comfortable straight out of the box. You can’t argue with Arai quality, even if it is slightly more expensive, it’s probably worth it
Arai Concept-XE - Gloss White The helmet is as you would expect from Arai. The fit is great for me with a good all round fit. XL worked well. Smithy was great on sales in the call centre.
Arai Quantic - Diamond White Certainly does
Arai Quantic - Dark Citizen Just as expected with top quality product, Arai from my experiences are one of the best if not the best.
Tha Arai Quantic is probably the best fit for my head shape, super comfy and at par with its cousi Arai 7x rv . Love it. Highly recommended
Arai Quantic - Dark Citizen Amazing comfort, great anti-fog, lovely airflow and having personally tested durability will say its worth every penny!
