The Arai Helmets XD-5 Honda Africa Twin helmet combines adventure-focused performance with the protective design and fit expected from the XD series. This red, extra-small helmet is styled for Honda Africa Twin riders and features Arai’s PB-cLc² shell construction, which uses an assortment of materials and a reinforced super fiber belt across the forehead area for added shell strength. The VAS-A shield system is positioned lower to help improve the helmet’s ability to glance off impacts while maintaining a broad field of view.
Designed for comfort during extended street and off-road riding, the XD-5 includes a peak engineered for improved ventilation, higher-speed flow-through performance, expanded sun-blocking adjustment, and reduced buffeting. The Arai VAS-A Max-Vision shield preserves the wide visibility associated with the XD model and accommodates an optional Pinlock insert for enhanced fog resistance across the viewing area. The tool-free shield attachment system allows faster shield changes, while the peak uses one screw on each side for convenient removal and installation.
Airflow can be adjusted to suit changing riding conditions. The mouth shutter admits fresh air without relying solely on mesh vents, while the inner shutter helps direct airflow toward the rider’s mouth or the shield for fog reduction. The front logo duct provides forehead ventilation without compromising the shell’s protective design, and airflow remains effective across different riding positions. An adventure-oriented AR spoiler helps reduce fatigue caused by turbulent air and draws warm air away from the crown area. The odor-resistant interior supports a fresher-feeling helmet environment.
