The Tour-X 4 must be one of the most versatile helmets ever: adventure, grand touring or off-road, & without the peak looks pretty good on a naked bike too! No matter the riding conditions, the Tour-X 4 is ready for it. Can be used without visor with goggles, without peak but with visor, any way that suits you. General Shell construction CFL Front ventilation Dual air intake Standard ventilation above the eyes Chin ventilation in three positions Internal closure (latch) for Chin ventilation Rear ventilation Neck vent flaps Removable diffusers Side vents Aerodynamics Removable chin spoiler Visor Pinlock lens included Interior Dry-Cool® inner lining Replaceable ear pads/cheek pads Replaceable inner lining Replaceable chin strap covers Facial Contour System (FCS) 5 mm removable ear pads/cheek pads Comfort Emergency Release System (ERS) Homologation ECE 22-05 Tour-X4: Ventilation Easy to clean diffusers create a strong venture vacuum at the rear. Dual intake for increased airflow & lower noise level. Under-peak air intake collects & directs cool air into the helmet. The closable chin vent controls the airflow to the chin area. Inner chin vent shutter prevents debris coming into the helmet industry riding conditions. Brow ventilation, lower side vents & neck roll exhaust. Shell Construction SFL Special Fiber Laminate Strict quality controlled construction using special fiber layers, crowded with fibers right to the shell surfaces & bonded with special resins formulated by Arai, to disperse impact energy over the widest possible area – the shell’s main job – through strength, structural integrity & impact flexibility. Front Ventilation: Dual intake Designed for increased airflow & lower noise level, guiding fresh, cool air into the interior. Front Ventilation: Standard brow vents Fresh air can enter directly to the forehead area without the need for holes in this critical area of the shell & impact absorbing liner. For specific models the ventilation is extended to the temple area. Front Ventilation: Three position chin vent Three-position chin vent helps in demisting the visor & offering fresh, cool air to the rider. Inner chin (bar) vent shutter Open & close the chin bar vents from the inside to prevent debris coming into the helmet in dusty riding conditions. Rear Ventilation: Neck exhaust vent To enhance hot-air extraction from the interior. Increases the ventilation effect at the lower part of the helmet. Rear Ventilation: Removable diffuser Creates a tremendous amount of venturi vacuum at the rear. Can be easily removed (for cleaning) or replacement. Rear Ventilation: Side exhausts Produce low pressure behind the rear vent for better hot air extraction. Integrated in the shell for better aerodynamics, reduce wind noise & prevent buffeting at speed. Inside, a small foam dam helps to absorb & diminish excessive noise, without reducing ventilation performance. Aerodynamics: Pull Down Chin Spoiler Helps minimize wind noise & also aids with the extraction of hot air from the face area. Provides additional deflection of road debris away from neck. Depending on the model the Chin Spoiler is retractable. Visor: Pinlock insert lens included Effectively prevents misting & fogging of the visor, even under extreme wet & damp conditions. May be cleaned & changed easily. Interior: Dry-Cool® Liner Arai´s Dry-Cool® material transfers heat & moisture away from the rider quickly & efficiently. Interior: Replaceable Cheek pads/ Ear cups Depending on the model, cheek pads, ear cups or the complete interior may be easily removed. All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with lukewarm water & mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning & never dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Interior parts in different size thickness are available for a custom fit for every rider. Interior: Replaceable Interior Depending on the model, cheek pads, ear cups or the complete interior may be easily removed. All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with lukewarm water & mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning & never dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Interior parts in different size thickness are available for a custom fit for every rider. Interior: Replaceable Chinstrap covers Depending on the model, cheek pads, ear cups or the complete interior may be easily removed. All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with lukewarm water & mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning & never dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Interior parts in different size thickness are available for a custom fit for every rider. Interior: Facial Contour System (FCS) To offer an even better snug fit & enhancing the comfort to the lower jaw, the Facial Contour System (FCS) works with a foam spring support in the cheek pad that compresses & rebounds, providing the necessary support without excessive pressure. Interior: 5mm ’’ Peel Away’’ Ear cups/ Cheek pads Giving even more ability to craft the perfect fit & comfort, the cheek pads now feature a 5 mm peel away layer for added room if needed. Comfort: Emergency Release System (ERS) Allows easier access to an injured rider. By pulling the orange tabs integrated in the pads, the cheek pads slide out. Making helmet removal easier for trained medical personnel & rescuers. Minimising the risk of additional injury. Approval: ECE 22-05 The most common helmet certification internationally, required by over 50 countries worldwide. Five times inspected Each Arai helmet goes through five separate quality-control departments: after the shell is made, after painting & graphic completion, after assembly & two in-process inspections. Washable interior The premium quality interior of any Arai helmet can be easily cleaned, in place, with mild soap & lukewarm water. Handmade It can take up to five years for our experts to earn the right to create an Arai shell. Each shell can take up to 27 steps & to build one Arai helmet will take about 18 man-hours. All-day comfort All-day comfort with the Arai interior fit & shape together with the finest liner materials & the extensive ventilation system. & thanks to the perfect balance & weight distribution of the helmet, you hardly notice you are wearing an Arai. Penetration tested All Arai helmets are penetration tested, although not required by European helmet standards. The Arai penetration test is performed with a 3kg test cone that strikes from a height of 3m on the helmet. Double-D ring device The flat & D-shaped rings fit smooth against the chin. No moving parts, no corrosion problems & just pulling the tab is enough to loosen the fastener. Smooth shape, better protection The smooth outer shell of Arai helmets is designed to glide without unnecessary resistance. You don’t want to decelerate your helmet more than necessary. That’s why all Arai vents & ducts are designed to break off during an impact. Hard outer shell, soft inner shell Arai uses a very hard outer shell to spread impact forces & a soft inner shell to absorb remaining energy. The multiple-density EPS inner shell is made using a unique technology of combining three to five densities in various areas as a single component. Organic shape The organic shape of an Arai outer shell offers a more natural appearance, seals better & conforms more to the head’s natural shape for enhanced comfort, fit & to help minimize wind turbulence. 5-year limited warranty All Arai helmets are warranted against defects in materials & workmanship, & are serviceable only for the properly fitted first user for 5 years from date of first use, but no more than 7 years from date of manufacture. Different outer shells Unlike many other manufacturers Arai provides one size outer shell for each two-helmet sizes for most models. Together with different shaped outer shells for different models it is almost impossible not to find the fit you are looking for. Arai In-house test This Arai helmet is designed to meet the stringent Arai In-house standard requirements, in addition to mandatory standards such as ECE 22-05 & voluntary standards such as SNELL M2010. Note Please be aware, as long as nothing else is written in the item description: All helmets will be delivered only with the ECE certification by default all helmets that have a visor will be delivered with a clear visor, even if it is shown differently.
