Arai Tour X question.

[Trippy]

Just looked at a WHITE Arai Tour X in HG.
Would this have been a Tour X or a Tour X 2 ?
What is the difference between them ?

I think its the newer one with the vents, looked at it yesterday! but you can have it as the wife thought it was a bit much for a valentines present!!

Price mainly! And the date it was manufacturer is a bit of a give away.

Other than that there was some minor mods to the vents more pleasing to the eye than making the vents perform better

The Tour-X 2 has a coolmax lining which is supposed to be an upgrade. The standard Tour-X had a fairly nice lining anyway so don't let this put you off.

I think the Tour-X 2 had improvements to the peak as there seem to be far less problems with buffeting now than there were. Other than that it's down to the vents as above.

The most important thing to check (after fit) is the manufacture date which is on a tab next to the D rings on the strap. It shouldn't be more than 2 years old (but it's unlikely anyway as there have been stock shortages).

No idea see if you can find the difference.
I bought one in HG on Saturday, didn't have my size/colour in stock in any shop, none at the importers either so I now have to wait till March, when the new stocks hit the UK.
And why did the salesman laugh when I said I had a GS
I think we may be buying up all the stocks of Tour Xssssss

Hmmm, good point. Not sure my nakano rep will look any good on a gs. Will have to wear my Walker rep instead

Yep, Challenge Red one from HG. Had to special order it though. Tried on a standard one for size then had to pay in advance

 

[Trippy]

HG just called. Cant get the XL white one from another store as they said. Can order one for March so I'll give it a miss.
Thanks for the answers anyway.

But if anyone wants a size L white one they have one in HG Taunton.
