![arai tour x 4 africa twin XD4_Africa_Twin_F](https://www.araiamericas.com/sites/default/files/2019-07/XD4_Africa_Twin_F.jpg)
Offering three distinct configurations, allowing the user to choose which works best for their riding needs, the new XD4 is similar in appearance to the previous XD3 but greatly improved in all-around performance. The combination of the new comfort headliner, with micro-fitting 5mm peel-away temple pads, and our patent-pending FCS® cheek pad design, also with 5mm peel away layers, add a new dimension to the concept of helmet fit and customization. It takes a unique sense of commitment to continually strive to improve your product – especially when it’s already regarded as the very best.
Notice: Fluorescent finishes used in certain models of Arai helmets are not covered by warranty and may fade with the passage of time and exposure to the elements.

Arai Tour-X 4 Review
![arai tour x 4 africa twin arai tour x 4 africa twin](https://www.adventurebikerider.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/66128806_10216374682211981_1631725897578971136_n-125x125.jpg)
Hirotake Arai was a successful hat maker in Japan during the 1950s. He was also a keen motorcycle rider, although it wasn’t the safest hobby to have at the time. With no legal standards for helmets, and no manufacturers producing helmets anyway, it was hard to keep yourself adequately protected when going out for a ride and even a minor spill could be a life-threatening affair .
Hirotake was a problem solver though, and he set about designing and constructing helmets for him and his riding mates with the sole intention of keeping their noggins safe. Fast forward 70 years and it’s clear he succeeded in doing that, and then some.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin arai tour x 4 africa twin](https://www.adventurebikerider.com/wp-content/plugins/bravepopup-pro/assets/images/preloader.png)
The mark of true quality is when your name becomes a recognised description. When you set a benchmark that all others in your field strive to achieve. Think commentators describing a goal as “Messi-esque”. And, in the motorcycling world, Arai is now synonymous with high standards of quality and attention to detail; the premium of motorcycle helmets.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X 4](https://www.adventurebikerider.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/DSC_6673-scaled-e1591613493636.jpg)
Which leads us on to the adventure-styled Arai Tour-X 4. Arai’s range of adventure helmets have been firm favourites at ABR Towers, coming out top in the many helmet group tests we’ve conducted over the years and worn regularly by ABR staff at bike launches and on our ride outs since we first went to print. So, when the Tour-X 4 arrived on my desk in the new ‘Cover – White’ colourway, I was excited to see just what all the fuss was about.
Now, before we get started, it’s impossible to write about the Tour-X 4 without mentioning the elephant in the room. It’s an expensive lid. Arai have priced the colourway I’m reviewing at £579.99 and, while there are discounts to be found online, it’s undoubtedly a hefty sum.
So much so that, taking into account the rock-bottom fuel prices at my local Sainsbury’s, I could use the same amount to travel over 5,000 miles on a BMW R 1250 GS . The bottom line is, the Tour-X 4 needs to perform exceptionally well to justify that price and convince you to cough up your hard-earned cash.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X 4](https://www.adventurebikerider.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/DSC_6674-scaled-e1591613873316.jpg)
Arai Tour-X 4 – First Impressions
Immediately it’s clear the Arai Tour-X 4 is a high-quality lid. It feels bulletproof and sturdy, there’s no clunkiness or cheap-sounding creaking as you get to grips with the components, visor and peak.
A quick play with the various vents (more on them later) also gives the reassuring impression of premium quality. The visor offers a vast field of vision and closes securely with a satisfying snap. It also comes Pinlock-ready with a Pinlock insert in the box, a touch which is much appreciated.
The initial evident quality of the helmet is hardly surprisingly – Arai helmets are built almost entirely by hand. Each takes around 18 man hours and passes five separate inspections before being boxed up for shipping. An unparalleled commitment to maintaining those lofty standards.
On the slightly superficial front, it also looks fantastic. Arai have really nailed the subtle styling of an adventure helmet with the Tour-X 4. It steers clear of the sharper lines and aggressive chinbars of competitors that scream ‘moto-cross hero’, instead capturing the versatility of our adventure bikes by looking ready to take riders on and off the tarmac.
The ‘Cover-White’ colourway that I have (pictured) combines a black/grey digital camo pattern with attractive white stripes. The only complaint I have is that Arai use their more artistic colourways to stick a couple of larger logos on the sides of the helmet, alongside the standard one on the peak.
It’s a minor grievance, I am splitting hairs, and dependent on what graphics you purchase (they’re not present in the plain white or black helmets) but it seems like an uncharacteristic departure from Arai’s usual subtle, premium styling.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X 4](https://www.adventurebikerider.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/DSC_6675-scaled-e1591614747308.jpg)

Since slipping on the Arai Tour-X 4 for the first time I can confidently say, out of the many motorcycle helmets I’ve tested since starting at ABR, it’s the most comfortable yet. Perhaps I’m lucky enough to have the perfect head for an Arai, but it fits like a dream.
The 1.65kg weight (size M) is average for an adventure helmet, but the weight is distributed evenly across the top of the head, while the cheek pads combine with the cushioning at the back of the helmet to ensure that the helmet fit is just right, snug without ever feeling tight or uncomfortable.
This snug fit, particularly around the lower part of your face, is provided by the Facial Contour System. In layman’s terms this is a small foam spring support included in each cheek pad that compresses to shape around your face, providing just the right level of pressure to ensure safety and a comfortable fit.
It’s a testament to this intricate balancing act that the helmet feels much lighter than others in class, despite being the same weight. Indeed, it’s so comfortable and easy to wear that I popped it on as I began writing this review, and only took it off an hour later when I couldn’t find a straw to drink my tea. And, while riding, it’s easy to almost forget you’re wearing a helmet at all.
If the Tour-X 4 doesn’t fit perfectly out of the box straight away, Arai provides a number of options to tailor the fit to you. The cheek and temple crown pads feature a 5mm ‘peel-away’ layer to give you more width to work with, while all the interior parts are removable and can be replaced with alternative sizes depending on your head shape.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X 4](https://www.adventurebikerider.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/DSC_6679-scaled-e1591614870231.jpg)
Performance from the saddle
Comfort doesn’t just come from the fit of a helmet though. When you’re in the saddle ventilation, noise and aerodynamic stability can turn an otherwise comfortable helmet into an unbearable one.
Once again, the Arai Tour-X 4 excels in these areas. It boasts more ventilation than a chemistry lab, seven drawing air in at the front and six exhaust vents enabling a delightful breeze to run through the helmet on hotter days. The brow vents, located at the top of the visor, are particular favourites, helping to avoid the soggy fringe that usually accompanies a day riding in the sun.
The main chin vent, and two smaller ones on either side, also help to compensate for the chin bar, which is less aggressive and doesn’t come out as far as those on other adventure helmets, by keeping your lower face cool. Every vent is closeable should the temperature drop, while an extendable chin spoiler directs wind away from your neck. And, if you’re getting into some gnarly trails, there is the option to lift up the visor and slap on some goggles.
For an adventure-style helmet it’s also pretty quiet, even with the vents open. I still wear earplugs when I ride (I do with all my helmets) but the usual rushing wind at motorway speeds is muted enough for me to comfortably listen to a podcast or music over my intercom system.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X 4](https://www.adventurebikerider.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/DSC_6677-scaled-e1591614902409.jpg)
High-speed performance
Speaking of motorway riding, aerodynamically the helmet is stable and comfortable up to, and even beyond, legal speeds. The peak is barely noticeable, even during shoulder checks, and certainly one of the best I’ve ridden with. ABR editor Bryn reckons that the peak on the Arai Tour-X 4 is the best on the market (over the years he’s tested every adventure helmet going) when it comes to aerodynamics, and I’m inclined to agree with him.
I’m yet to hear the whistle that some users complain of, but there’s always the option to entirely remove the peak should you wish on those longer runs, transforming it into a mean looking streetfighter helmet.
You may want to keep it on though, as the peak is the only form of sun protection offered for riders, which is a slight disappointment. Unlike many competitors, Arai refuses to include an internal sun-visor. For them it represents an unacceptable compromise on safety.
To make life easier, the inner lining features neat cut outs that make it more comfortable to wear sunglasses all day while riding, but this could be a slight problem if you’re diving in and out of Alpine tunnels while touring. Still, above all Hirotake Arai emphasised the safety of the rider and if Arai says it’s better to not feature an internal sun-visor, I’m not going to argue.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X 4](https://www.adventurebikerider.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/DSC_6678-scaled-e1591614929724.jpg)
Safety and protection
Rider safety has always been a hallmark of Arai helmets, and the Tour-X 4 is no exception.
The outer shell is formed of a Special Fibre Laminate (SFL) which is designed to disperse any impact energy over the widest area of the shell, while the softer inner shell combines three to five layers of EPS foam to then absorb the rest of the energy from an impact. There’s one shell size for each two sizes of helmet, so if you wear a small or a medium you won’t look like a bobblehead with a ‘large’ outer shell.
The core philosophy of all Arai helmets is evident in the clean, smooth lines of the helmet too. These are designed to encourage ‘glancing off’, meaning that the helmet will decelerate as little as possible upon impact with the road or an object.
Should a slide occur, the vent covers and external fittings will rip off with ease while the shell remains un-compromised. This helps to stop the rotational forces these could generate if they were fixed from being transferred to your neck. Finishing off this ensemble is a bulletproof D-ring clasp and an emergency release system.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X 4](https://www.adventurebikerider.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/DSC_6680-scaled-e1591614978294.jpg)
Arai’s commitment to the safety of the rider extends to ensuring their helmets pass their own penetration testing, which involves dropping a 3kg test cone from a height of three metres (even though it’s not required for European safety standards).
The safety features included in all their helmets are the same as those worn by professional riders on the racing circuit, as President Mitch Arai says, “How can you say one person’s head is worth more than another’s?”
The fastening system for visor and peak is another area where the Arai Tour-X 4 has come under some criticism, but where the recurring theme of prioritising rider safety is evident. It’s fair to say it’s anything but ‘quick-release’; you need a screwdriver or coin to loosen the screws at either side, but after practice it’s easy to do.
Loosening the screws allows you to adjust the angle of the peak, or you can remove it altogether as mentioned earlier. There’s no quick release system, as seen in other helmets, as any recesses in the outer shell naturally require a compromise in shell thickness or foam density, something which Arai were not prepared to do.
ABR Verdict – Arai Tour-X 4
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X 4](https://www.adventurebikerider.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/DSC_6681-scaled-e1591615014448.jpg)
If you were a fly on the wall in the ABR office on any given day you’d witness a phenomenon that I like to call ‘the grab test’. It’s the kit each rider instinctively, and subconsciously, grabs when they head off on a quick blast, perhaps to grab some lunch or even for a quick photo run. In the evenings we may deliberate for longer on what we’ll ride home in to assess and review, but for those quick jaunts we’ll naturally grab what we favour and what’s most comfortable to us.
With my riding time agonisingly reduced recently, us British riders have spent the majority of the last three months under varying forms of lockdown, most of my rides have fallen into this quick jaunt category. And, for every single one of them, I’ve instinctively grabbed the Arai Tour-X 4. It’s been my go-to for everything: shopping trips, supply runs and longer blasts down to south London to have a socially distanced chat with friends and family.
Ultimately, it performs excellently in a number of key areas. It’s the most comfortable helmet I’ve worn, the ventilation is fantastic and well-appreciated during the recent heat wave and Arai’s commitment to rider safety and confidence in their approach is reassuring.
Sure, it’s not perfect, but boy does it come close. For the very few downsides, there are clear explanations and workarounds. The fiddly peak and visor system undoubtedly helps it stay stable and perform well at speed and the ease of slotting in a pair of sunglasses partly makes up for a lack of internal sun visor. Yes, it’s expensive but as ABR Editor Bryn once wrote during a group test of adventure helmets:
“Put simply, if money is no barrier, the Tour-X 4 is a helmet that you’ll be proud to own and happy to wear. If money is tight, then get yourself a piggy bank and save up, you won’t be disappointed.”

Arai Tour-X4 review | Versatile adventure touring motorcycle helmet
We spent the last few months riding with the Arai Tour-X4 motorcycle helmet, putting the versatile adventure lid through its paces.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin](https://cdn.visordown.com/styles/thumbnail_x1/s3/pictures/picture-100386636-1653130585.jpg?itok=Q9gQwB2p)
If after a versatile do-it-all motorcycle helmet for adventure riding, the Arai Tour-X4 ticks all of the boxes. With a removable peak, interchangeable visors, and the option to remove the visor altogether and run goggles instead, this lid is well worth a look.
Packed with features and designed to the current ECE 22-05 safety standards required in 50 countries, the TX4 certainly meets the high standards set by Arai as a premium supplier.
I ‘debuted’ this helmet on the launch of the Zero DSR/X in Italy, and have since been riding with it on numerous adventure touring rides - including the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R .
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai TourX4 helmet Zero DSRX](https://cdn.visordown.com/styles/img_600/s3/AC9_0656_0.jpg?itok=4t5aYn8r)
Arai Tour-X4 Price & Availability
The Arai Tour-X4 is priced at an RRP of £599, though you tend to regularly find deals online that place it from £400 - £500. It’s certainly a pricey option, but for those looking at the premium brands for protecting your noggin, it’s money spent in the best place.
Available in a huge array of colours, including Diamond White (as pictured), Frost Black, matt colours and colourful variations, even a special Honda Africa Twin design, the TX4 can be grabbed in sizing XS through to XXL - with an outer shell for every two helmet sizes.
The lid also comes with a 5-year warranty, effective against defects in materials and workmanship - and Arai pride itself on stating an average of 18 man-hours go into each helmet with 5 separate quality-control steps once made. Each expert can also take up to 5 years to earn the right to create an Arai shell!
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X4 colours](https://cdn.visordown.com/styles/img_600/s3/Arai-Tour-X4-Colours.png?itok=-FD3PIeW)
Arai Tour-X4 Features
Jumping to the features, the Arai has plenty to note. We’ll start with the peak, which as an adventure lid is one of the more prominent features. I found that the peak itself is fairly lightweight, well-shaped to block glare from the sun, and works in unison with under-peak forehead vents to direct plenty of the captured wind from the peak to your head.
On the point of ventilation, it’s a very well-vented helmet. Dual intakes on the forehead, a three-position chin vent with an inner shutter to block any debris, and side exhausts keep everything nice and cool. There is no chin-curtain, mind, which does mean in adverse weather you can become a bit exposed to debris and water from below.
With an outer shell of Complex Fibre Laminate (CFL) to deliver structural strength and integrity, plus providing impact flexibility to spread any impact force to the entire shell, and though not required for European standard accreditation, Arai performs a 3kg test cone penetration test to ensure safety. Fitted also is an Emergency Release System if things do go south on a ride.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X4 on KTM 1290 Super Adventure R](https://cdn.visordown.com/styles/img_600/s3/ktm-slide_0.jpg?itok=rjGTlqBb)
The total weight (with peak and visor installed) is around 1710g. Though not a lightweight, I’ve had no complaints wearing this lid on full-day tours - no neck-ache in sight.
Visibility is top, here, and the visor (which comes with a pinlock) can be removed if you prefer to ride with goggles. I will note that removing the visor for attaching the pinlock is a right faff, where you need to remove the plastic screws for the peak, the peak itself, and pop out the visor before doing it all again to re-install the visor and peak.
Also, when screwing the plastic screws back in, take real care not to over-tighten them with your coin.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai TX4 off-road](https://cdn.visordown.com/styles/img_600/s3/AC9_2090_1.jpg?itok=I3-IMq9d)
Arai Tour-X4 Comfort & Fit
I found the Tour-X4 to be a very comfortable fitting lid, which is no doubt thanks to the Facial Contour System and quality interior padding, which is removable (and therefore replaceable & washable), and a dry-cool liner. Also fitted are 5mm ‘peel away’ cheek, temple, and forehead pads to ensure a good fit.
If riding with glasses or sunglasses, there is plenty of room inside, and whilst researching I noted other owners & wearers commenting that specs will fit fine and comfortably.
Riding at normal speeds has a little bit of wind-noise seep in, so riding with earplugs (as always) is recommended, but buffeting is only really noticeable if riding at higher speeds and turning your head to the left or right.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin riding with the Arai Tour-X4](https://cdn.visordown.com/styles/img_600/s3/b-road-riding.jpg?itok=SfdvOqHM)
Wind can catch the peak, naturally, but not to the extent you think your head is about to pop off - you can just as easily point your head down to keep everything stable.
That top ventilation from the lid does wonders to keep your head cool & comfortable for long days in the saddle, and I have had no issues with any fogging up internally.
Of course, it goes without saying that you’re well advised to test for size in person before purchasing, as sizes vary between manufacturers.
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Alex riding the Zero DSR/X with Arai Tour-X4](https://cdn.visordown.com/styles/img_600/s3/AC9_0868.jpg?itok=jRD4OQqK)
Arai Tour-X4 Verdict
I’d absolutely recommend adventure and touring riders to consider this helmet. Though a high ticket price, it’s up there as one of the best on the market for adventure and touring riders - in true Arai fashion - and many riders will swear by them.
In terms of specs and features, the versatility of the lid is top - you could ride with this on any bike, removing the peak if you’re after a more street-wise lid. If riding off-road or touring, the peak does a lot of work to ensure ventilation and protection, and in any situation the visibility is superb.
You’re paying the price for a hand-crafted top-spec lid, here, and whilst not yet the incoming future standard of ECE 22.06, you’ll ride with the comfort of knowing it’s properly safe. Looks nice, also!
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X4 helmet and KTM](https://cdn.visordown.com/styles/img_600/s3/IMG_5900.jpg?itok=oam6fZy5)
Simply put, the Arai Tour-X4 gets the Visordown stamp of approval for adventure and touring riders. There’s a reason they are Japan’s most famous motorcycle helmet manufacturer.

Arai Tour-X 4 Helmet - Honda Africa Twin
Arai Helmets
- Put the helmet on - it should be a little tight as it goes on over the head
- The helmet should sit on the head evenly with the eye port's upper edge sitting just above the eyebrows and have good peripheral vision available to see side-to-side
- Try putting a finger between the helmet interior and the head. If it easily fits, a smaller size should be tried next. Note that some helmet models allow for the cheek pads to be changed out for better fitment, so consider this too when checking for proper sizing

Arai's outgoing Tour-X 4 helmet is still a go-to adventure touring option - here's why
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Arai Tour-X 4 tested for MCN by Michael Neeves](https://www.motorcyclenews.com/dist/_5-101-DO-3695-DO-3679-54/images/placeholders/transparent.675x450.png)
Arai Tour-X 4 helmet
Contents of this review.
The highly acclaimed, top-spec Arai Tour-X motorbike helmet has been around for decades and I’ve been testing the fourth-generation Tour-X4 for the past three years. It’s designed for adventure and off-road riding, but with the peak removed can be used as a road helmet, or with goggles instead of the visor.
I’ve used it in all conditions on adventure bike launches and group tests in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Sicily and the UK.
The TX-4 has now been superseded by Arai’s Tour-X 5 .

Tested by Michael Neeves for 4000 miles, three years
![title= arai tour x 4 africa twin](https://www.motorcyclenews.com/dist/_5-101-DO-3695-DO-3679-54/images/placeholders/transparent.600x400.png)
A clear visor and anti-fog Pinlock come as standard, but I mostly use an accessory dark tinted version. The visor has widescreen field of vision (although you can always see the peak, which I’m not keen on), a classy smoothness in the way it moves and is easy to crack open for extra ventilation.
It isn’t a two-minute job to change the visor, though, with fiddly plastic screws and fixing plates that need to line up with the visor and peak. The new Tour-X5 has a quick release system that gets around the problem. The Tour-X4 doesn’t have a drop-down visor.
Does the Arai Tour-X 4 have good ventilation?
For sweaty off-road rides or sun-baked road trips an adventure lid needs good ventilation. The Tour-X4 has seven strategically placed intake and five exhaust vents that do the job superbly. I’ve worn it as much in the cold and rain, too and it’s nice snug with no drafts or leaks.

Is the Arai Tour-X 4 a noisy helmet?
I’ve only used the Tour-X4 while riding adventure bikes, which have notoriously noisy screens. Despite the racket the bikes make the Arai manages to be surprisingly quiet, although the peak can cause some buffeting and catch in the wind. I wear earplugs so it’s never a problem. I’ve never used it without the peak or with goggles.
Does the Arai Tour-X 4 look good?
The Tour-X4 is a beautiful hand-built creation, as much as a safety device. I’m not a huge fan of the off-road style in general and it looks too storm-trooper-ish with the peak removed. I’d always choose to wear a conventional road helmet, regardless of the style of bike and only pick something like this for practical reasons.
Is the Arai Tour-X 4 good quality?
It’s hard to fault the Tour-X4’s first class build quality, from its plush interior fabrics to the deep, durable white paintwork and the way the vents and trims fit perfectly. There’s nothing about this Arai that feels cheap or plasticky.

Does the Arai Tour-X 4 offer good value for money?
Arai’s Tour-X 4 is unashamedly premium, but now it’s been replaced by the Tour-X 5 there are some stonking deals to be had from retailers’ existing stock.
If the Arai isn’t floating your boat, there are plenty of other adventure helmets available on the market.

Once upon a time, riders looking for a comfortable, peaked adventure-touring helmet pretty much had two choices, an Arai Tour-X or a Shoei Hornet ADV. Like the Arai, the The Shoei is still available on the market today.

Portuguese brand Nexx might not be on the tip of every British biker’s tongue, but their X.WED2 is a really great dual-purpose helmet with very little to be found in the way of negatives. We included it in our adventure helmet product showcase back in 2020 and it won the test with a maximum 5 stars.

Arai Tour-X 4 verdict
If you ride off road, a peaked adventure lid is useful to protect yourself from flying rocks, dust and dirt from other bikes and to keep the sun out of your eyes. The Arai Tour-X4 ticks those boxes, while being every inch a premium helmet that’s as beautifully made and comfortable as any of their top-level road offerings.
But do both on and off-road jobs it’s a compromise. It’s heavier, slightly more fatiguing to wear and the peak is ever-present in your vision and sometimes whips in the wind. Changing the visor is tricky, too, but the updated Tour-X5’s quick release system gets around that problem.
Wearing an adventure helmet is part of my road tester’s ‘dressing-up box’ and useful on the dirt, but I wouldn’t choose to wear one purely for the road just for its looks, even on an adventure bike.

Just opening the Arai Tour-X 4 box is an experience in itself. Cleverly packaged without the need for tape or staples, it’s a masterclass in simple origami and opens to reveal the helmet cocooned in a neatly tied, fleecy storage bag, along with stickers, instructions (including a small bottle of silicone lubricant for the visor mechanism) and the Pinlock anti-fog insert.
Slipping it out of the bag and seeing the graphics in the flesh for the first time actually drew oohs and aahs, and then there’s the smell when you first put it on – new Arais have a unique aroma that immerses the wearer in a sensation of quality and craftsmanship.
I’ve yet to find a helmet that is as pleasant to wear as an Arai, and with that cavernous opening, the Tour-X 4 may well be the best in the range. The weight distribution is so good, that it barely feels like there’s anything on your head, even after a full day on the trails.
![Arai Tour-X 4 without peak Arai Tour-X 4 without peak](https://www.motorcyclenews.com/dist/_5-101-DO-3695-DO-3679-54/images/placeholders/transparent.600x400.png)
And that’s from a helmet weighing 1670g (on our scales), hardly the lightest in its class. The double D-ring strap ensures an infinitely secure fit and the extendable chin spoiler does a great job of keeping the wind out when you don’t want it. There’s also very little drag from the aerodynamically designed peak.
The Tour-X 4 isn’t the quietest of helmets, especially with the peak in place, but if you wear earplugs when riding (as I do) wind noise shouldn’t be a problem.
I tend to use goggles when riding off-road and like the fact that the strap fits with the visor installed, regardless of whether it’s open or closed. However, if the going gets messy it can also be removed entirely to prevent damage from mud and grit, turning the Tour-X into a traditional off-road style lid.
It may not be the cheapest, but consider that it’s essentially three helmets in one and the value should become clear – for trail riding, touring or even tearing up the track, the Arai Tour-X 4 could well be the only helmet you’ll ever need.

Tested by Michael Guy for five years, 8400 miles Quality 5/5, Value 4/5
The Tour-X 4 has certainly been my go-to helmet for a significant chunk of riding I’ve completed over the last five years. While Arai claim it works as a grand tourer, adventure helmet and for use on naked bikes with the peak removed the vast majority of my riding has been using it for off-road and adventure.
From events in Italy, to riding the Trans Euro Trail in Northern Spain and most recently a trip to Iceland it’s been my helmet of choice for when I need something I can completely trust and rely on. After all your helmet is the most important piece of safety equipment we all wear.
This is actually my second Arai adventure helmet, I ran the previous X3 model for the five years prior to getting the X4. One of the key factors that keeps me coming back for more is the fit. I wear an XS and unlike other helmets Arai have different outer shell sizes meaning that I’m not wearing a helmet with a large outer shell and lots of padding to make it fit correctly. This in turn makes it feel and look better.
![Arai Tour-X 4 on motorcycle seat Arai Tour-X 4 on motorcycle seat](https://www.motorcyclenews.com/dist/_5-101-DO-3695-DO-3679-54/images/placeholders/transparent.600x400.png)
I’ve used the helmet with both clear and a light smoke visor and both give excellent vision and minimal glare. The light smoke visor gives the same quality and contrast as a decent pair of sun glasses. Compared to a motocross helmet the peak is short but it’s enough to act as a sunshade when the sun is low in the sky or give protection from rocks roosted up by the rider in front by simply dropping your head.
Despite the peak the smooth lines of the outer shell make it more than acceptable for sustained motorway speeds. I always expect the peak to make it feel worse than a regular road helmet but in reality, when riding a big adventure bike, it’s the flawed aerodynamics/screen of the bike that are the issue rather than the helmet. My only real gripe is that changing visors is a slow and laborious task which requires removing four easily lose able screws and the peak.

I was looking to get this helmet from SBSUK in a L (59). Would the M fit a 59cm dome or would that be too much of a squeeze?
SOLD
Not a 100% sure whether they all fit, cant imagine an xxl kit is going to fit a M helmet, but I’m guessing at least one size either side of the original will fit. Cheek Pads TX-4 12 mm 15 mm 20 mm 25 mm 30 mm 35 mm Interior TX-4 12 mm 10 mm 7 mm 5 mm

Verified Customer Reviews for Arai Tour X4
Fast delivery. Excellent fit
Bought this helmet expecting it to be my best so far, sadly totally disappointed, it's a cold helmet, and not as quite as my cheap HJC, plus no matter what I try the visor fogs up almost instantly. Regret the purchase now
My first Arai in some time and it's straight back to the quality fit & feel that is so hard to describe. I had reservations about the peak but it was not intrusive and perfect for riding into low sun. Great helmet.
Easy online purchase and delivery the day after !
Very pleased nice comfy fit
What can I say? I've had a number of different branded helmets including most recently a Shoei GT Air2 which was excellent. This Arai goes beyond even that. The helmet is beautifully crafted, fits just superbly straight out of the box and the airflow is fantastic. With all inlets switchable the air is totally controllable too. As far as the depart red metallic paint job, we'll that is simply gorgeous too. As you might have guessed I am highly delighted and at £400 what a bargain for such a superb helmet. As always speed of delivery and the packaging from SBS was excellent too.
What a piece of kit! Fit finish and quality of this helmet is fantastic I didn't want to go all in and spend 600 quid on a lid but when I saw it on sale I gave in and I'm not disappointed. The paint job is awesome too. It fits my roundish head fantastic with contact all round I originally wanted the airoh commander but the shape is too long and rolls back and fourth on my head. Only issue I had is there's no pinlock in the box so I forked out another 60 odd quid on a photochromatic one but I think the standard clear one wouldn't be a big ask when it goes for about 30 pounds!
My helmet history goes, Centurian, Shoei, Shoei, Bell, Arai, X-lite and now this Arai. I wanted a helmet with a peak to shade the sun, as I was often having trouble seeing anything in hedge lined single tracks at the end of the day. I visited SBS in Bristol to try on a few makes, but they didn't have the X4. Sure the Klim was nice and the Scorpion fitted well, but neither felt just just right for me. Then I tried a peakless Arai and that felt just perfect. The next day they had the Metallic Gun X4 on sale on the website and I jumped at it. The peak works as I had wanted, the ventilation is another plus for me and the finish is lovely. I don't notice any extra noise or the slight increase in weight over my previous X-lite. Yes, at 60mph the peak does grab the air a bit and the D ring is a little close to the padding, but it fits like a glove on my 61cm head and I'm very happy I chose it.
Excellent fast service, thanks. Arai helmet is the usual high quality.
I've had quite a few things off SportsBikeShop in recent years and their service is always the same: you order; it turns up sooner than you expected; it's well packaged. As for the Arai? I've been buying helmets for the past 44 years; many different makes and types; the TourX is simply the best. This will be my third, the first in 2006. My last two helmets were good makes and much cheaper, but when the going gets tough the TourX beats them for comfort over long distances and performance in difficult weather. I found myself having to wear one of my old TourX to get me through a recent roadbook rally where the weather was awful and knew my next helmet had to be another TourX. I ordered the same size as in 2006; fits perfect.
This helmet fits perfectly. Superb at high speed. Great value now.
This really is a lovely lid. Snug fit. Lovely finish. Looks great. Certainly no goldfish bowl. This is 3rd lid in current collection and I hoped it would be super well venting for off road enduro as getting hot in my others. Now thinking I'm gonna add a forth, didn't really want an open face MX helmet as like a visor but felt this was my best dual sport option. It'll be good for winter at least but doesn't feel like it's gonna keep me as cool as I'd have liked. The mouth/chin area is closer than in other dedicated road lids I have and the vents there are letting in less air than other lids I have. Hopefully the exhaust vents will work some magic when it does get hot but on first ride I'm not noticing much. It's a 5 star helmet but gave 4 because not doing as I'd hoped or some reviews had suggested on the venting front at off road speeds. Kept it coz SBS are awesome and it's a nice lid for the collection and hopefully my intended purpose… for winter at least, fingers crossed ;)
Just to say you really really cant beat arai in my honest opinion, fantastic quality helmet, superb fit as soon as you put it on. Fantastic peripheral vision, visor is super smooth, no issue with buffering from the peak, and a great price from sportsbikeshop once again, couldn't be happier with my purchase A++++++
Great helmet with a proven record. The staff were brilliant swapping out cheek pads to fit with no extra charge. My only gripe, bought a Matt black model and it scratches really easily so will look scruffy very quickly...
When you buy the Arai Tour X4 You will love it from the get go. The quality of this helmet is the best. I've owned 5 other different brands of helmets and they are basically lying in the house brand new because nothing matches the Arai fit and ventilation. It feels light on but heavy duty. I've had the Tour X3 also and was the same story with it. Once you buy an Arai Tour X it basically destroys choosing helmets because no matter what helmet you buy won't feel as good and you will eventually go back to the Tour X just saying
Very quiet and lightweight for the size of the helmet. Visor Very watertight ( tested in the heavy rain last few weeks) and the peak has great air flow so it doesn't keep whipping your head when ever there a gust of wind.
Prompt delivery as always, fits perfectly and having used it for a couple of weeks is an excellent helmet. Chin strap securing system a bit fiddly, but the helmet fits well, minimal wind noise and is very comfortable.
SBS customer service was second to none as usual. Top marks. The helmet is very good. Comfortable and quiet. The peak works well against low sun and the visibility is far better than on my other two Arai helmets. The D ring is a little high so you end up fumbling against the cheek pad but I'm sure I'll get used to that. It is light but the quality, although good, is not up to Arai standards of 10 years ago but still a fabulous helmet.

![arai tour x 4 africa twin 1083cc twin-cylinder engine](https://powersports.honda.com/-/media/products/family/africa-twin/family-features/media-features/2022/2022-africa-twin-1083cc-twin-cylinder-engine.jpg)
1083cc twin-cylinder engine
These adventure bikes feature a narrow parallel-twin engine that delivers torque smoothly throughout the RPM range, making them great for both city riding and highway cruising.
Parallel-twin engine layout
Thanks to the parallel-twin engine layout, the bike's front wheel can tuck in closer to the engine. This shortens the wheelbase, making the bike more agile on and off the road.
Twin intakes
It utilizes a unique twin air intake system featuring two vertical filtration elements. This results in excellent engine performance, even during extensive operation in dusty conditions.
Unicam® engine design
Honda's Unicam® engine design allows optimal engine placement with a compact cylinder head.
Long-travel front suspension
This adventure bike is the real deal with the most front-end travel in the 1000cc off-road class thanks to its inverted Showa fork with 45mm tubes and 9.1 inches of travel.
Selectable ABS
These bikes come with three Anti-Lock Breaking System (ABS) modes: on-road, off-road, and a mode that turns off the rear ABS system for dirt riding.
Cornering ABS
They come standard with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) integrated with a 6-axis IMU. The system compensates accordingly when the user is leaned over.
Low center of gravity
By placing heavy components like the battery near the bike's center of gravity and using a compact engine, we've created a superior platform for excellent handling.
Electronically controlled suspension
The Adventure Sports ES and Adventure Sports ES DCT are equipped with SHOWA EERA ® suspension, allowing you to choose from five suspension damper settings on the fly.
Semi-double-cradle frame
The semi-double-cradle steel frame layout has been proven in countless Honda dirt bikes. In principle, it’s similar to the design used on our Rally factory Dakar race bike - a machine designed to perform in challenging conditions.
Four-piston calipers
They feature twin four-piston brake calipers up front for powerful braking performance. The radial-mount design also makes them stiffer, which increases brake feel and control.
43-degree steering lock
They offer excellent maneuverability with 43 degrees of steering lock on tight trails, making them feel more nimble than many other adventure bikes.
Refined swingarm
The swingarm is both lightweight and sturdy, thanks to the technology developed for our CRF450R motocrosser.
Hollow steel axles
Large-diameter hollow steel axles are used both in the front and rear. They are extremely strong, durable, and lightweight, a combination that describes almost everything about this bike.
Rear suspension
Not only does it feature a fully adjustable rising-rate Pro-Link ® rear suspension, but it also offers 8.7 inches of rear-wheel travel.
Electronic preload adjustment
Adjusting the preload on your shock is effortless, with four settings tailored to your needs. There is no need to struggle with hard-to-reach collars - all adjustments are made electronically.
Spoke wheels
Real adventure bikes use spoked wheels, which are more durable for off-road riding. Consequently, all models have both a 21-inch front and an 18-inch rear wheel.
Tubeless tires
Tubeless tires are standard on our Adventure Sports ES models, and there is now a great selection of adventure bike rubber available. Additionally, flat tire repairs are now much easier.
The manual transmission and DCT models offer six riding modes: Tour, Urban, Gravel, Off-Road, User 1, and User 2. The last two let you customize the system to your individual preference.
Six-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission
The Africa Twin DCT and Adventure Sports ES DCT feature a strong, steel-gear transmission that lets you shift with paddle shifters in manual mode or automatically. It's the future of motorcycle transmissions.
Six-speed manual transmission
The Africa Twin and Africa Twin ES models have a conventional six-speed manual gearbox with a handlebar-mounted clutch lever. This design is proven tough and a little bit lighter.
Throttle-by-wire
Our throttle-by-wire system expands versatility with seven levels of Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and four power delivery modes: Tour, Urban, Gravel, and a fourth that's user-programmable.
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) lets you customize power delivery to match conditions with seven different settings for various terrains.
Wheelie control
Working with Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), front and rear wheel-speed sensors allow you to choose from three levels of wheelie control, with an available "off" position for manual control.
Rally-inspired fairing
Real riders know proper fairings are key. This is why many hours were spent perfecting it for a great balance between wind protection and off-road agility.
Large fuel tanks
Our Africa Twin and Africa Twin DCT have 18.8-liter (5.0-gallon) fuel tanks, while the Adventure Sports ES models increase that capacity to 24 liters (6.3 gallons), perfect for extended adventures.
Tall handlebar
Fitting a taller handlebar opens up the cockpit, working with the seat and windscreen for a comfortable rider's triangle during long rides.
Tapered aluminum handlebar
Our aluminum handlebars are lighter and more flexible than steel units. They are designed to taper from a thin diameter under your grips to a thicker section at the top, offering optimal flex and rigidity.
Narrow seat
We took extra care to ensure that the seat was narrower, making it easier to maneuver the bike and to place a foot on the ground at stoplights or in parking lots.
Narrow subframe
The aluminum subframe is removable for servicing and repairs. Width has been reduced by 40mm for a narrower and more agile feel in challenging terrain.
Biaxial counterbalancer
Honda's engineers cancel out engine vibrations using counterbalancing elements on two axes, resulting in a smooth, vibration-free ride.
Athletic riding position
Adventure riding demands agile movement on a narrow bike. The peg-bar-seat triangle lets you adjust your position for better handling on tough trails.
Optional hard luggage
Our three-piece hard luggage set is a must-have accessory for any traveler. These bags are equipped with weather-resistant lining, and the largest bag can even accommodate a full-face helmet
Full accessory lineup
From the beginning, you can equip your new CRF1100L with a full range of Honda accessories. These include a centerstand, quick-shifter, top and side boxes, rally seat and footpegs, and much more.
Cruise control
All models come equipped with cruise control for long-distance touring, similar to our Gold Wings.
TFT touchscreen display
A 6.5-inch LCD touch-panel display shows a multitude of information, and you can choose from three displays depending on your needs.
Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™
Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ seamlessly integrate into your Android or iPhone, allowing easy access to maps, music, and other services.

chirider Been here awhile
Looking for this helmet, where can I find the best price? I wear a XL shoei RF1000 DUHAMEL . Will I be comfortable in an Arai? I heard about this european head size thing. i have a round big head!
![arai tour x 4 africa twin Mack](https://www.advrider.com/data/avatars/m/1/1663.jpg?1436643296)
Mack Gone, but never forgotten. RIP, Mack...
I can't tell you who is offering discounts off MSRP. Though I did see a solid color at Rider Barn in San Jose for $385 vs. $400 that Cal BMW wanted. Cal BMW had 10 or 20 Tour X's in different sizes and colors, vs. the 1 that Rider Barn had left. . I tried some on, and ordered mine from Cal BMW, paid full price but saved tax as it's being shipped to Texas, and Paul was nice enough not to charge me shipping. I don't know how strict shops are about following Arai's fitting policy, but Paul at Cal BMW told me that if I decide to wait and order it later, to remember it was him who fit me, and that way he and only he, would be able to sell it to me over the phone. All I can say about the fitting, is that I have never found any Arai helmets that fit me well. I have always worn Shoei's, as they do fit me well, the TourX fit for me was good but not great. I will have to wear it a while to see if it gets better or worse then my initial impression. If it loosens up much, I expect I will order the larger crown and cheek pads to "tighten" the fit back up. Good Luck
thanks mack!

the Tour-X is more of a long oval shape helmet than a round oval shape. It feels great to me but I can't stand the normal Shoei shape that may work for you. Try it before you buy it! Toolman

Just checked the Arai site, it's called the XD over here. $465 usd for the grey one I want (MSRP). That's $620 cad and they're quoting over $900 here PLUS tax! Fucking crooks. And with Arai's new policy (which they can shove where the sun don't shine) it makes it a royal PITA to get one here. Anybody live in Watertown/Rochester/Syracuse? Looking for a shop I can get one from. I'll pay the goddamn import fees myself and the tax and still save money.

Tomas Kocanda Long timer
It´s a great helmet, but they ask for about 500 euro at our shop. Not cheap. Ventilation seems to be good, enough space for googles, but I expected, that will be possible to remove the glass by hand, something like on System 4 from BMW. But anyway, fit is just as any other Arai - comfortable.
Said configurationspace: Me, and there's a BMW shop in that area. http://www.countryrode.com/welcome/home.asp (585) 421-0480 Tom is their parts guy, and they have some Arai helmets in, just not the tour X (or XD or whatever it's called). I think Tom would like to order one of them helmets, and I might want to do so as well. Maybe Tom could organize a bulk buy, it might reduce costs, but what do I know? I'm not totally sold on the helmet, but if you do decide to buy through country rode, send me a PM and maybe we can try for some kind of discount purchase. Click to expand...
