The Arai Contour-X Helmet represents a masterclass in touring performance, combining elite protection with advanced aerodynamic engineering. Designed for the rider who demands comfort during long highway miles and agility at low speeds, this helmet features an organic shell shape constructed using Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2). This specialized layering provides lightweight strength, while an extra layer of super fiber belting maintains rigidity in crucial areas.
Ventilation is handled by the innovative 3D Arai logo duct. At just 3.5 mm in depth, it feeds two central 10 mm intake ports and is easily operated via a short-stroke lever designed for use with summer or winter gloves. Complementing this is a 3-position sliding air-scoop chin vent with a replaceable filter, ensuring high-volume airflow in any weather condition. For maximum safety, the logo duct and aerodynamic components are designed to break away in the event of an impact, preserving the integrity of the shell’s protective performance.
Key technical features include:
-
Aerodynamic Rear Spoiler: Redesigned for touring use, this one-piece exhaust improves stability and reduces buffeting while overtaking at highway speeds, significantly reducing rider fatigue.
-
Variable Axis System (VAS): By lowering the visor mounting position, the shell achieves a smoother shape across the temple areas, increasing the helmet's ability to glance off energy.
-
Intercom Compatibility: The shell features flat sides for easy fitment of communication systems. A specialized stitched opening inside the neck roll allows for clean wiring management without compromising the internal EPS liner.
-
Enhanced Entry: The shell flares 5 mm around the opening, making it significantly easier to put on and take off while maintaining a secure, snug fit once in place.
Whether you are navigating city streets or embarking on a cross-country tour, the Contour-X offers the perfect balance of ventilation, stability, and world-renowned Arai protection.
