The Arai Helmets XD-5 Helmet in Black Frost, size XS, is an adventure-touring helmet designed for riders who demand dependable protection, adaptable ventilation, and clear visibility on and off the pavement. Built around Arai’s PB-cLc² shell construction, the helmet uses a reinforced forehead area with a Super Fiber belt to help support shell strength. The lowered VAS-A shield system is designed to improve the helmet’s ability to glance off impacts while maintaining the fit and finish expected from the XD model line. Manufacturer part number 0140-0396 and vendor part number 0140-0396 identify this specific configuration.
The XD-5 is equipped with a VAS-A Max-Vision Shield system for a broad field of view and convenient shield changes without tools. Its adjustable peak is designed to provide effective sun protection, improved high-speed airflow, and reduced buffeting during extended rides. The peak attaches with one screw on each side, allowing straightforward installation and removal. The optional Pinlock insert is designed to help resist fogging across the viewing area, supporting visibility in changing weather and demanding riding conditions.
Ventilation and airflow are managed through the mouth shutter, inner shutter, front logo duct, and AR spoiler. The mouth shutter increases fresh-air intake, while the inner shutter helps direct airflow toward the rider’s mouth or shield to assist with fog reduction. The front logo duct is designed to provide airflow that remains effective across different riding positions without compromising the shell’s protective structure. Positioned for adventure riding, the AR spoiler helps reduce fatigue caused by turbulent air and draws warm air away from the crown area. An odor-resistant interior supports comfort during long-distance use. This XS helmet is suited to adventure and dual-sport riders seeking a versatile Arai Helmets design for varied terrain and riding conditions.
