That was the best review of anything I have ever watched.... O for awesome.... Thanks mate, think I'll buy one this week ;-)

Thanks for the video John. It’s nice and simple without all the BS. I love my Arai but I was extremely disappointed with how fragile the visor / peak screws were. Just make sure you don’t over tighten them because they break so easily, oh and get a replacement screw set just in case.

Here in Spain it's called Arai Tour x4, I don't know why the model name change. Also I saw bet tacks saying that the xd4 visor is not pinlock ready? Mine is and it came with a pinlock in the box! Good video good review, didn't know you could close the visor with the goggles, that's awesome!

Arai XD-4 for the win! Absolutely love mine.

Great review .always a pleasure watching your videos. Ride safe !

OK, you had me at the ventilation part. I'll get one. Cheers to RF Mountain Rescue!

I’m on my third XD so obviously I’m a big fan. Recently got a carbon fiber helmet / modular for ADV riding. Wow, once you go light weight you will never go back to heavy helmets.

TECHNICAL Spec...I like the Grumpy sticker on the back.

Great video bud. You've made my mind up. Ordering now

Just picked up that exact helmet to replace my Orange one which is a wee bit old. Great helmet my last one was comfortable for the past 130,000 km on my 1190 Adventure...so I bought another

I WANT ONE!!! Excellent review!

Nice review. I really want the klim helmet for the fidlock. No more messing with the buckle.

Just ordered one in the vision frost orange you have to match my v strom 1050 xt, great review 👍

Good review John - looking for a new helmet in the spring. Cheers

At some point I need something better than my Bell but I got it half off on clearance. However you’re right. I can’t tell when the vents are opened or closed!

Great Review. Thx

I like that helmet. It will match my 2020 ktm 500 exc-f. I have an Aria Vx pro which i love but its getting time to replace it. Definitely going to look into this one.

Hi I noticed you pull the helmet on pretty quick. I am a large and got the proper helmet for my measurement. Its brand new and it takes a pretty good queeze to get on. Once on very good snug fit. Comfortable, Did you find it relaxes or loosens after some time?

As always, great review. 👍

New vid sweet 😅👍

What head shaped is the helmet? Intermediate oval or long oval? Thanks

Is that a rubberized matte finish on the helmet? Or is it a metallic? Asking because the rubberized finished are a PITA to clean.

I have had my XD-4 for a long time. Probably too long. Looks like I will buy the same again. Have you had the older XD-4 and are there any improvements.?

Hi. Have you considered the Klim Krios Pro? Sounds to be a great helmet too but lighter and closer to the 3lbs because of the carbon shell.

Hey john. Nice review my friend. What colour way is that called? Looks awesome

Very good and honest review. Have you had a chance to try it vs. the AGV AX-8/9? That's my current and I'm whinking to upgrading to this Arai, just because of the extra comfort. One thing you didn't mention was the noise level. Again, from my AGV AX-8 Evo experience, It's not the quietest because of some wind turbulence (the "boomy" sound) it causes from 90 km/h (55 MPH)

Bill Murray reviews helmets?

100%.

Wish it was carbon though and MIPS.

I feel like everything you mentioned, my O'Neal Sierra helmet can do as well, except for the movable top part. This one costs about 160 I believe, so why would someone pay 600 extra? Would you compare those two?

If you weren’t busy saving lives, you could have a fantastic career in sales😊.

Really wanting to try an adventure helmet over a Moto helmet. I just bough a Fly Carbon, it's a great helmet. But I can't figure out my issue with glasses. I've tried contacts, lens inserts etc.... nothing is working. I have a 2023 KTM XCW 300. I've raced Moto for over 30 years but am almost 60 and my eyes are shit. I'm an intermediate to expert rider. Wondering if going with an adventure helmet, other than looking completly dorky, hate the look. But then I could just wear my Oakely prescription sun glasses underneath. Any one out there dealing with this issue?

Another complaint is how fast it gets foggy in winter time. I have mine for 6 years now and I am willing to change it every winter...but I always come back to it.

My first ADV helmet and the vision is distorted. Looking through the visor the floor is kinda floating when I turn my head left and right. Both with clear and tinted visor. WTF Arai! Never had that with any other full face Arai helmet. Pretty disappointed ☹️ Great review though!

Enfocas más tripa que casco

The visor is centuries old, cheap and flimsy. Compared to an Agv visor it`s China quality and the variety is almost non existent (smoke grey and black visors only, if I remember correctly). Second serious issue (from my perspective) - lack of integrated goggles. I am aware of the fact that Arai does not have this option as a brand, but, still, 2021. It is still a great looking helmet, perfect fit for my headshape too, but its medieval in terms of R&D and innovative solutions. Given the price they charge, its a seriously overrated product. Should this be decently priced (350-400 Euros for standard colours and max 500 for the full graphics) I think it would be an even larger seller. But they dont have the production capacity (claimed) or they prefer to keep it as is - cheap production costs, high revenues. Did I mention anything about the stickers which are milimetres thick and can easily be felt when touching the surface? Had a Suomy in the 90`s that didnt have such thick stickers under the lacquer.
