Lovely Lid - great service

Lid is great as you would expect from Arai, I changed from my Arai RX7 which does feel a bit plusher but I think that is more because it is a size too big. Pinlock is easy to fit and works great and the lid looks awesome on my AT. More importantly the speedy shipping from SBS was unreal especially over the holidays, the price was superb and then it arrives and I see the D Stamp is Sept 2019, happy days to get such a young helmet - highly recommend all aspects here.

Best helmet I've ever owned

Bought as a present for my brother he says it's the best helmet he has ever had

A joy to own

This is my second Tour X helmet and I love them ! Used all year round in the UK and for touring in Europe in the summer, I can literally wear this all day long. Arai quality and build mean they are a joy to own and use.

Great Helmet

My third Arai and the quality is still top notch. Bought this for my son and he is very pleased with the fit and the efficiency of the pinlock visor during winter riding. Customer service also fantastic from sports bike shop.

Good product

Good product

The helmet

Great helmet supplied in super quick time and at a good price. Advertised with pinlock lens in the box but no pinlock received in the box

Great!

So comfortable and quiet, and light compared to my HJC maxx, matches the colours of my Africa twin perfectly Had some issue with condensation on the pinlock, just waiting to hear back from Arai about a fix for that

Arai delivers.

Man, what a great helmet. The comfort is absolutely great, it doesn't even feel heavy on your head. Building in Cardo, so easy. Wind buffering is also, as good as none, only at very high speed, but I think that's no more than logic. I must for every touring biker. I like it so much more than my Shark-Evo-one, which by the way also is a great helmet. And so much cheaper then in the Netherlands. If you can afford one.......buy one. Also great service and fast shipping from the guys from Sportsbikeshop. Ordered on Sunday, delivered on Wednesday. Thanks guys. Frans Nuijten, Tilburg, Netherlands.

Best lid

Was worried about spending so much on a helmet but it's by far the best lid I've ever had. Have a tour coming up and my shoie RYD was noisy so after reading many reviews I opted for this aria, money well spent, much quieter, wider field of vision and oozes quality. Yes it's bloody expensive but probably justified.

Brilliant lid

Have an ARAI RX7GP also, but the X4 is just so much better for general road use on a touring bike. You see soooo much more with the wider field of view. Really great quality helmet and surprisingly quiet too. Really like it thank you.

Fantastic touring lid.

I bought this lid to tour Spain and Portugal. I've found that helmets primarily designed for the racetrack don't have adequate ventilation for warmer climates. And that open faced helmets tend to dry my face out on long journeys, as well as providing a lesser degree of protection. The fit of the helmet is excellent. It has no tight spots and the cheek pads don't pinch. It feels light and the peripheral vision is second to none. I removed the peak for normal road use. Which tended to catch the wind at motorway speeds, making lifesavers a little awkward on a sports bike. Everything is as it should be on an Arai quality lid... The visor is optically correct, ventilation is excellent and the visor doesn't tend to fog up so much as other styles of helmet in bad weather. To the extent that I didn't bother with the pinlock. The only minor drawback with this helmet is that. It tends to produce a little more wind noise, than I would expect from an Arai lid. Even with the peak removed at high speed. In brief: Fantastic lid.... The best I have used for touring hot Countries and the UK…. Remove the peak and plug up, for high speed long journeys!

Top top quality

Ok it's expensive but it's a true case of getting what you pay for. I'm new to motorcycling so this was my first helmet. I tried eleven helmets including this one across the entire price range. Ignoring the price for one second i'd have put this helmet at number 1 due to 1) fit/comfort perfect e.g. doesn't squeeze my ears 2) wide front opening gives excellent peripheral especially for the 'life savers'. Then add the top rated safety rating and it was a no brainer this was the helmet for me. Now warn it on 10 rides ... definitely the right helmet!!

Excellent helmet and excellent service

The x4 is a excellent tour helmet excellent on the motorway no wind buffering. I won't be moving from the arai brand.

Nice Helmet

Never owned a Arai,this Is a very comfy lid with a lot of visability, loads of air vents which work well, it is of very good quality,

Should have waited...

Brilliant helmet, love everything about it (but should have waited a couple of weeks before buying as I've just noticed that SBS has dropped the price to under £400!). Great fit, very comfortable and of a quality which inspires confidence in the wearer. Would I buy another? Absolutely.

Arai Tour x 4

Excellent quick service. Helmet is a great fit, quiet and looks great!

Best of the best

This helmet let me wear the glasses without having them steamed. The interior is plush and very well crafted. My head size is 57cm and the medium size is perfect. Yes, the price is high but you get what you pay for. Simply fantastic.

Better than l expected

Fantastic quality l cant wait to use it.

Arai Tour X4

Bought to replace my black X3, love it, great colours and lighter. Great fit.

Is it worth it?

It's a question everyone will ask. I took the plunge after mid range AGV's for many years. I have now tested the helmet in all weathers, fog, frost and gale force winds, the joys of riding all year round to work! Firstly, do not be put off by those who had trouble with the pinlock, it's a nonsense to say it's hard. Watch the videos on pinlock site, you can adjust the little screw on the visor to get a perfect fit and it's doddle to fit, just copy what they show you, there is a technique! The helmet itself fits perfectly and I had not tried one before ordering. There is no buffering or head wrench from the peak even at high speed, the visibility gains are a must in traffic, the visor area seems much bigger than my AGV's. Arai's are sometime heavy but this is just fine, no noticeable difference. So to sum up, visibility excellent, Pinlock works perfectly even on a foggy morning, ensure all the vents are open though to get the best from it, weight is good and the vanity to finish, it looks the business! Yea, it cost a packet but in my opinion, well worth it!
