Arai XC-W Gold Wing Motorcycle Helmet
Arai XC-W Gold Wing Motorcycle Helmet
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 – extending 1-3/16” forward compared to the previous model (and traditional open-face ¾ 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 that’s been missing from previous open-face helmets, which leave that part of the face exposed.
- Front and rear vents are taken directly from the RX-Q
- Side cowl exhausts complete the ventilation upgrade
- Fully removable Dry-Cool® liner
- Vented neck roll extracts more heat buildup from the interior
- Thinner side pods provide a more aerodynamic shape
- Multidensity EPS liner
- Dual-pivot shield system allowing for low-peak profile, reducing drag, and decreasing bucketing at higher riding speeds
- TDF-3 front vent is designed to further improve intake airflow to the XC's interior
- Adjustable peak to shield eyes from sun glare
- Meets or exceeds Snell and D.O.T. standards
** Does not use XC Faceshields; use CT-Z Faceshields.
