With the new Tour Peak Shield, Arai introduces a revolutionary (and patented) solution to a well-known problem: glare from sunlight! Nowadays, it is quite common to use a retractable sun visor—positioned between the helmet’s outer shell and its inner liner—as protection against the sun’s rays.

However, Arai believes that such a system can negatively affect a helmet’s performance in the event of an impact. The Tour Peak Shield is mounted entirely on the outside of the helmet, ensuring it cannot compromise the helmet’s performance in any way. This design aligns perfectly with Arai’s “R75 Shape” concept. The Tour Peak Shield is a small peak that locks into your desired position. Unlocking it is simple: just pull it forward. You can then lower it with a quick hand movement to serve as a sunshade. The Tour Peak Shield is an effective, year-round solution for dedicated touring motorcyclists, providing protection against sunlight glare, fog, and haze. Especially for riders who prefer an upright riding position and want to take full advantage of their motorcycle’s fairing, the Tour Peak Shield significantly enhances comfort on the road. The system includes a peak mounted onto a clear MAX Vision visor, offering optimized aerodynamics, increased helmet stability, and reduced wind noise. The peak is removable for easy cleaning and does not make contact with the visor, preventing scratches. It is compatible with all “VAS” visors found on Arai full-face helmets, including the RX-7V, QV-Pro, and Chaser-X.
