Details

The XC-W is yet another example of Arai's decades long tradition of improving on what works, redefining how open face helmets can look and protect. The most telling feature is the extended coverage in the lower jaw cheek pad area, extended 1 3/16" forward compared to the previous model (and traditional open face helmets). While the look may be reminiscent of an ancient Greek warrior's helmet, the performance is as modern as it comes. The XC-W provides a measure of lower jaw protection thats been missing from previous open face helmets, which leave that part of the face exposed. The XC-W is color matched to the 2018 Honda Goldwing motorcycles and comes standard with a peak.

• Organic shell shape follows the smooth, linear, naturally reinforcing shape of the egg; one of natures strongest shapes
• The shape flows better in the wind, conforming more to the head's natural shape
• Smaller and less bulbous seals better to further reduce wind noise
• Intermediate oval head shape
• The peak shields your eyes from the harsh sun glare during those long rides into the sun
• Matte black band under the peak's leading edge to further reduce glare
• Dual pivot shield mechanism allows the shield to rotate up and back so it tucks neatly under the peak allowing for a very low peak profile, reducing drag or bucketing at higher street legal speeds
• TDF-3 front vent works with the DDL-4 exhaust vents, the TDF-3 front vent is designed to further improve intake airflow to the XC-W's interior
• DDl-4 ventilation is directly from Arai's RX-Q model and designed to maximize airflow at real world street speeds
• Side cowl exhausts complete the XC-W's advanced ventilation package; these exhaust vents further help in quick removal of stale interior air
• Vented neck roll uses the prevailing airflow under the rider's neck to further enhance ventilation by extracting more interior heat and stale air
• Low profile shield arms give the helmet a sleeker, more aerodynamic shape that integrates better with the XC-W's shell design for less air resistance
• Unique cheek pad design adds to the distinctive look and is similar to that of a full face helmet, with its full coverage EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) base and removable covers
• Meets or exceeds SNELL and DOT certifications
