Thanks for watching! Ride safe and enjoy the journey.
What Lid are you rocking? This is my second Arai and I'm digging it, especially after torturing it while riding in Africa. Let me know your thoughts!
I love the sleek design of the Arai XD-5. The various color options are a nice touch for matching gear.
The rugged terrains of Africa look intense! How did the Arai XD-5 hold up in those extreme conditions?
I enjoyed this video, Arai looks loads better than before
It is quite a beautiful helmet is it not
I have an XD4, I love it.
Incredible helmets
I appreciate the detailed review. The real-world insights are incredibly helpful for anyone considering this helmet.
Nice review, thank you. Wore their helmets for years, street and MANY motocross helmets over the years. Now older (I think the rule is over 50 must own GS/GSA right😂), wearing a Klim Krios Pro. Fantastic helmet and the company themselves are built up of absolutely AMAZING people.
So I had nothing but good experiences in the past wearing Arai helmets so why am I not using their ADV helmet now? Well, rule number one 😂. Just kidding, but honestly, aesthetics for this new one are improved in my opinion.
Yes!! Adherence to rule one my friend 😊. There are a few red/white/blue designs on this new one that are choice as well. To your point, many guys will rock a plain white Arai and that’s not at all in compliance with Rule 1. Also, I got my GS in my early 40’s, why did you wait so long?
@@MotoBeemer To busy fishing lol. I had 4 other motorcycles from age 41 until age 50. Basically lost interest, stated spending most weekends with family seeking out boat accessible only beaches, inshore and offshore fishing. Last year the bug came back hard at 58. Have a great day sir
@@billwaterhouse5894 Fantastic. I'm heading out to film, more to follow! Cheers
Loved the footage from Africa! Really shows how durable the XD-5 is in tough conditions.
It held up amazingly well, even though it got thrashed pretty good!
I’ve been following your channel for a while. This is one of your best reviews yet!
Thank you 🙏
Mine came so tight gave me a headache, ive removed some of the foam now, will see if the fit settles in, I'm pretty sure I bought the correct size as I wear the same in my klim krios pro and it's comfortable.
Where did you remove the foam from? How is it holding up?
How often do you clean the inside of your helmet?
Only once so far!
Arai always nails it with comfort and quality.
Your final thoughts on the Arai XD-5 really highlight its value. Would you recommend it for both casual and serious riders?
Got mine from Europe (3 months before hit US market, $300 cheaper), coming from top ADV Klim helmet, Arai is a bit heavier, wormer. missing fidlock ( got some quick shit from Amazon, works good), missing light sensitive visor and the most what irritates me is not enough of room in front of mouth when I am trying to hydrate while riding, other that solid lid, cheers V!
I do agree the mouth clearance is tight if trying to stick a hydration hose in there. What visor do you have now? I’m waiting on a mirrored one to arrive as well.
@@MotoBeemer just regular clear one, thinking about tinted one but many times I am returning back from the ride very late and really don’t want to change visors because it gets dark….
@@verdonrocksphotography3510 That's actually why I fitted the Denali lights to my bike. I got tired of getting caught in the dark so instead of going clear shield, I just went brighter lights. 😂
I’m an Arai guy and I currently ride mostly with a Corsair X. I love the look of my XD-4 in the same color way as yours. The new XD-5 looks great and while I typically don’t buy black helmets, the subtlety of the graphics on that on really look 🔥.
Here’s the but…I can’t stand the buffering created by the peak on my XD-4. How’s the XD-5 in that regard?
So yes…the new peak is supposed to be more aerodynamic reducing wind noise which, I believe to be true. Fair to mention, I don’t wear ear plugs when I ride…probably should. But the helmet does seem to do better with the newly styled peak on it. Once you go to the 5, the 4 will remain on your shelf
The ventilation system sounds impressive. How effective is it in keeping you cool during those high-speed adventures?
The max vision visor sounds like a big improvement.
Great video thank you for this! Arai is a great brand although pricey
Everything seems to be pricey, for 5 years this helmet would be well worth it.
Maintenance is always a concern. How easy is it to remove and clean the liners after a muddy ride?
Hey @MotoBeemer what's that XD-5 specific chin mount? Thx!
It’s from Chinmounts.com for the XD5, I would avoid their mounting (the small connecting pieces) hardware however, in my experience it’s not as sturdy as aftermarket aluminum or the GoPro main mount itself (the L shaped one that connects to the Chin mount).
The black color really makes it look sleek.
Can’t wait to see more gear reviews from you.
I'm torn between Arai XD-5 and Neotec 3, my question is would Arai be good if I do mostly cruising on my Honda Goldwing?
I can state that while cruising on my GS, the XD5 performs great. I can’t speak to the Neotec but will try to get some more feedback for you
@@MotoBeemer Thank you, I do have Neotec 2 modular and love it. I came across XD-5 and was in the market for Neotec 3. They're both same prices.
Does the helmet have Bluetooth compatibility or space for a comms system outside of the Cardo?
Not sure what you mean, but I was able to fit another LAV mic inside the helmet which connects directly to my GoPro.
Does the XD-5 come with different visor options? I'm looking for something that's good for both day and night riding.
I mean, both day and night is tough. Many times I’ve seen guys keep a spare set of clear glasses with them, but the shield swaps are pretty simple with this helmet.
Is the helmet’s field of view really that wide? I've had issues with limited visibility in my current helmet.
Compared to say….a sportbike helmet this thing allows for amazing vision. Really helps when off road and scanning for obstacles
