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
