The Arai XD-5 Honda Africa Twin Helmet is a small-size adventure motorcycle helmet designed for riders who demand dependable protection, broad visibility, and adaptable airflow on paved and off-road routes. Finished in Honda Africa Twin Red, this model combines Arai's PB-cLc² shell construction with a reinforced forehead area and a lowered VAS-A shield system designed to help improve glancing-off performance. The shell uses an assortment of materials to support strength and balanced performance while maintaining the fit and functionality expected from the XD series.
The VAS-A Max-Vision Shield preserves a wide field of view, while the tool-free VAS-A Shield System allows faster shield removal and installation. The adjustable peak uses one screw on each side, making it easier to remove or install and helping provide improved sun coverage, high-speed airflow, and resistance to buffeting. The AR Spoiler is positioned for adventure riding and helps reduce turbulent air fatigue during extended trips while drawing warm air out of the crown area.
Airflow can be adjusted through the mouth shutter and inner shutter. With both shutters open, air is directed toward the mouth; with the outer shutter open and inner shutter closed, airflow is redirected toward the shield to help reduce fogging. The front logo duct allows forehead ventilation without compromising the protective design and provides airflow that is less affected by riding position. An odor-resistant interior helps support comfort during regular use, and an optional Pinlock insert is available for the Max-Vision Shield to help resist fogging across the field of view.
