ARAI Tour-X4 Blue Helmet

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Our mission has always been the protection and comfort of riders. Every Arai helmet is 100 percent handmade. We don’t build Arai helmets to meet any safety standards; we build them to exceed the standards. The foundation principles of protection formulated over three generations have never been forgotten in six decades of helmet design and manufacturing.

Arai is a small, family company, driven by the same family, with the same mission, through three generations – three generations of riders. We see riders wearing our helmets, and we hope they know we made their helmets to the best of our ability, to protect and make them feel comfortable no matter how far or how long they ride. We build your helmet by hand. We each have a specific job, yet all of us know every step that goes into building it. That is how we learn there are no minor parts to an Arai helmet, and there are no minor jobs here. We build each Arai helmet as if we’re creating it for one of our own, a brother, a father, a husband, a sister. That is what makes every one of us Arai.

At Arai, safety standards like Snell or DOT are our baseline, not our goal. Standards create minimum criteria, but, while many helmet makers design their helmets to meet those minimums, “good enough” has never been good enough around here. Our standards are made for the real world, the world of distracted drivers, unpredictable situations, sharp angles – things that don’t move when you hit them. A world you can’t duplicate in a controlled, predictable testing laboratory environment.

Description

The Tour-X 4 must be one of the most versatile helmets ever: adventure, grand touring or off road, and 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.

Ventilation

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Easy to clean diffusers create a strong venture vacuum at the rear. Dual intake for increased airflow and lower noise level. Under-peak air intake collects and directs cool air into the helmet. Closeable chin vent controls the airflow to the chin area. Inner chin vent shutter prevents debris coming into the helmet in dusty riding conditions. Brow ventilation, lower side vents and neck roll exhaust. Outer shell.

Outer Shell Construction SFL

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Front Ventilation: Dual intake

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Designed for increased airflow and lower noise level, guiding fresh, cool air into the interior.

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Fresh air can enter directly to the forehead area without the need for holes in this critical area of the shell and impact absorbing liner. For specific models the ventilation is extended to the temple area.

Front Ventilation: Three position chin vent

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Three-position chin vent helps in demisting the visor and offering fresh, cool air to the rider.

Front ventilation: Inner chin (bar) vent shutter

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Open and close the chin bar vents from the inside to prevent debris coming into the helmet in dusty riding conditions.

Rear Ventilation: Neck exhaust vent

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Rear Ventilation: Removable diffuser

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Creates a tremendous amount of venturi vacuum at the rear. Can be easily removed (for cleaning) or replacement.

Rear Ventilation: Side exhausts

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Produce low pressure behind the rear vent for better hot air extraction. Integrated in the shell for better aerodynamics, reduce wind noise and prevent buffeting at speed. Inside, a small foam dam helps to absorb and diminish excessive noise, without reducing ventilation performance.

Aerodynamics: Pull Down Chin Spoiler

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Helps minimize wind noise and 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

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Effectively prevents misting and fogging of the visor, even under extreme wet and damp conditions. May be cleaned and changed easily.

Interior: Dry-Cool® Liner

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Arai´s Dry-Cool® material transfers heat and moisture away from the rider quickly and efficiently.

Interior: Replaceable and Washable Interior

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

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 and mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning and 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.

The premium quality interior of any Arai helmet can be easily cleaned, in place, with mild soap and lukewarm water.

Interior: Facial Contour System (FCS)

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

To offer an even better snug fit and enhancing the comfort to the lower jaw, the Facial Contour System (FCS) works with a foam spring support in the cheek pad that compresses and rebounds, providing the necessary support without excessive pressure.

Interior: 5mm ’’Peel Away’’ Ear cups/Cheek pads

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Giving even more ability to craft the perfect fit and comfort, the cheek pads now feature a 5 mm peel away layer for added room if needed.

Interior: 5mm ’’Peel Away’’ Temple pad

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Arai´s peel-away temple crown pads give the option of 5 mm more interior width* if needed.

Comfort: Emergency Release System (ERS)

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

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 and rescuers. Minimizing the risk of additional injury.

Approval: ECE 22-05

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

The most common helmet certification internationally, required by over 50 countries worldwide.

General: Innovative peak

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

The Arai peak scavenges and forces air into the forehead vent ports for cooling while at the same time using multiple relief-ports to reduce “lifting” at higher speeds.

General: Five times inspected

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Each Arai helmet goes through five separate quality-control depart­ments: after the shell is made, after painting and graphic completion, after assembly and two in-process inspections.

General: Handmade

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

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 and to build one Arai helmet will take about 18 man-hours.

General: All-day comfort

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

All-day comfort with the Arai interior fit and shape together with the finest liner materials and the extensive ventilation system. And thanks to the perfect balance and weight distribution of the helmet, you hardly notice you are wearing an Arai.

General: Penetration tested

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

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.

General: Double-D ring device

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

The flat and D-shaped rings fit smooth against the chin. No moving parts, no corrosion problems and just pulling the tab is enough to loosen the fastener.

General: Smooth shape, better protection

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

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 and ducts are designed to break off during an impact.

General: Strong outer shell, soft inner shell

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Arai uses a very hard outer shell to spread impact forces and 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.

General: Organic shape

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

The organic shape of an Arai outer shell offers a more natural appearance, seals better and conforms more to the head’s natural shape for improved comfort, fit and to help minimize wind turbulence.

General: 5-year limited warranty

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

All Arai helmets are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship, and 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.

General: Different outer shells

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

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.

General: Arai In-house test

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Bikewise Motorcycle Parts & Accessories is the official distributor for Arai Helmet in South Africa.

There was a time some 40 years ago when all helmets were similar in their ability to protect the wearer. In retrospective, we have to admit that our product was only average at that time. Mitch Arai, however, became dissatisfied with being just average and wanted Arai to be something more. In 1976, he not only made the decision to make Arai better, but set his goal to be the number one helmet in the world.

Number One can have several interpretations, however; was it most helmets sold, most money made, most racing championships won? The decision was made, and there was a goal set, but there was no plan on how to achieve that goal or even a clear goal. Around that time he saw that the premier helmet in the world had been sold, the original creators gone, and the new offerings from the new company did not seem to improve or advance, yet they were still acknowledged as the best.

ULTIMATE OFF ROAD HELMET

WHAT IS GLANCING OFF?

It is the ability of a helmet to Glance Off objects to avoid sending energy directly into the helmet and instead disperse as much energy as possible without stopping in an actual accident.

Arai believes that the ability to glance off energy, without stopping, is one of the most important performance characteristics of a helmet in real world scenarios. A helmet should not just comply with acknowledged laboratory test standards, it should exceed in circumstances and situations outside the criteria of those acknowledged standards.

Arai believes that the R75 shape concept for our shell construction, which mandates a rounder, smoother shell thus enhancing the ability of the helmet to both disperse and distribute impact energy by learning from real scenarios through our long history.

Arai has continually improved the “Glancing off” performance by learning from real scenarios. The RX-7V ‘’VAS’’ (Variable Axis System) is the latest development in our pursuit of better helmet performance. Compared with the shell of the RX-7 GP, the smoother area around the temple was increased by an average of 24mm because of the shell modification on the VAS model.

Having a larger, smoother shell over a wider area increases the ability to divert more energy.

SHELL CONSTRUCTION

arai tour x4 for sale south africa

Racing Carbon (RC) OUTER SHELL

Exclusive technology developed internally by Arai for the GP-6RC F-1 helmet utilizes carbon fibre found in the latest generation of commercial airlines, and is bonded with Arai´s proprietary resins and is reinforced with a band of incredibly super fibre belt specifically oriented to disperse energy loads laterally across the shell surface.

In the forehead area, this band increases shell strength without adding thickness or weight, and allows the use of a thinner EPS liner which greatly enhances the upward field of view – especially appreciated in a full racing tuck!

Peripherally Belted Structural Net Composite (PB-SNC2) OUTER SHELL

Arai´s proprietary (super fibre belt) Peripheral Belt, borrowed from our F-1 technology, maximizes shell strength and flexibility while maintaining low weight. Positioned across the top of the eye port, this band allows the use of a thinner EPS liner which greatly enhances the upward field of view – especially appreciated in a full racing tuck!

The Structural Net Composite adds a physical bond to the resin bond of the many layers of fibres and reinforcing materials within the shell. The latest “Z-Mixture” resins increases material adhesion requiring less resin for a stronger bond between materials for a thinner and lighter shell.

The latest “Z-Mixture” resins increases material adhesion requiring less resin for a stronger bond between materials for a thinner and lighter shell.

Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2) OUTER SHELL

Arai’s proprietary (super fibre belt) Peripheral Belt, borrowed from our F-1 technology, greatly increases shell strength and flexibility while maintaining low weight and a lower centre of gravity.

Positioned across the top of the eye port, this band contributes to the use of a thinner EPS liner which greatly enhances the upward field of view. A specially designed “mechanically expanded fibre mat”, sandwiched between the inner and outer layers of Arai’s proprietary Super Fibre Laminates, is used to reinforce and bond these two Super Fibre layers without adding significant weight to the helmet.

The latest “Z-Mixture” resins increases material adhesion requiring less resin for a stronger bond between materials for a thinner and lighter shell

Peripherally Belted e-Complex Laminate Construction (PB e-cLc) OUTER SHELL

The PB e-cLc outer shell uses a Peripherally Belted e-Complex Laminate Construction (PB e-cLc) for lightweight strength; it’s designed to glance off and spread impact forces. New materials have been used to substitute the AR-mat as middle layer, resulting in a substantial weight reduction while maintaining the same strength as the PB-cLc construction.

VAS-V MV SHIELD

VAS Max Vision shield is standard to provide better visibility in all seasons and for all types of riding.

PSS (PRO SHADE VAS-V MV SHIELD)

The PSS offers the all-weather solution against sun glare, excess ambient light and fogging. The suns visor flips up and down with a flick of the hand and is fixed in position. The advantages of the PSS system: no reduction in thickness of the inner shell, no weakening of the outer shell and no need for an operating system containing metal parts. When the sun is low, only a subtle dip is needed to reduce ambient light. The PSS will not block the complete field of view, just the part that causes glare. No more need to change your dark smoke visor when the sun goes down.

VAS SHIELD SYSTEM

Impact energy can be discharged if the head can keep moving.  The basic structure of the human head can be roughly divided into three components; scalp, skull and brain. The role of a motorcycle helmet is to minimize and manage impacts to the brain. Laboratory impact test standards vary somewhat, but generally all define shock absorption levels. Those levels are tested by dropping a helmet, with a steel head form from a predetermined height onto a steel anvil.

The G meters within the head form measure the G forces sustained in these drop impacts to verify the impact absorption performance. Standards such as Snell set the test criteria quite high to obtain certification approval. Under impact the helmet acts as a buffer, the outer shell displaces the energy and the inner liner absorbs the energy as it crushes, slowing the impact speed. The examination of the impact energy management performance of the standard is very different from an actual accident which occurs in an unpredictable and severe environment. vas shield system VARIABLE AXIS SYSTEM.

The kinetic energy of a moving object increases in proportion to the square of the speed. Therefore, a street rider, traveling at legal limit, can carry up to more than 10 times the amount of kinetic energy. No helmet, regardless of brand or design, can be expected to manage such energies. Keep smoother and rounder within the test area. Therefore, Arai believes that ”Glancing off” performance would be important to divert energies by keeping the head moving.

For potential impacts with energies above those of the standards, and even above what a helmet might be able to deal with directly, Arai has always tried to make helmets rounder, smoother and stronger throughout its long history.

However, even at Arai there are limitations to how round and smooth a helmet can be due to the restrictions of a single pivot shield mechanism. The geometry of current shield systems require a high pivot position. This high pivot point falls within the test area of the standard, across the test boundary lines at the left and right temple area.

The shield is attached to the helmet with a mounting/pivot mechanism. To maintain a smooth/flush transition from shield to shell, the shell area where this mechanism attaches must have some depression or recess. The current shield systems, with some portion of the mechanism within the test area, prevent the shield from maintain a smooth and contiguous curved surface.

VAS is a shield system with a mechanism invented with the sole purpose of eliminating this intrusion into the test area, allowing the shell along the test line at the temples to be made smoother. The smoother shape is the next generation that aims to further improve on the original mission. Through decades of experience with real world road and track scenarios, Arai has developed a helmet compiled of detail upon detail that work together and improve the protective capacity of the helmet.
