The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Helmet in a sleek solid light gray finish offers advanced aerodynamic features and innovative ventilation for optimal rider comfort and safety. Designed with a lightweight yet durable shell constructed using Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), this helmet combines strength with a streamlined profile to reduce fatigue during long rides. The outer shell flares 5 mm around the opening, making it easier to put on and remove, especially for new users who may find a snug fit initially challenging. The shell also integrates side ducts and an extra layer of super fiber belting in critical areas to maintain rigidity without adding unnecessary weight, ensuring both protection and comfort. The helmet's stylish, organic shape is complemented by a lowered visor mounting position achieved through the Variable Axis System (VAS), providing an additional 24 mm of coverage across the temple areas for enhanced energy deflection and a cleaner aesthetic.
The helmet features a 3-position sliding chin vent with a replaceable filter, allowing riders to easily regulate airflow while wearing gloves, thanks to the thicker, user-friendly actuating mechanism. The vent's large intake volume ensures effective cooling, essential for extended rides or hot weather conditions. An innovative rear spoiler, inspired by the Corsair-X DF-X2, is engineered to improve stability and reduce buffeting at highway speeds by smoothly directing airflow across the helmet. This aerodynamic spoiler is designed to break away upon impact, ensuring safety is not compromised in the event of a collision.
The helmet incorporates a 3D Arai logo duct that feeds two central 10 mm intake ports, functioning efficiently at low speeds and with an upright riding posture. The duct can be opened or closed easily with gloves via a short-stroke lever located at the top, with the logo indicating whether the duct is open. Additional features include a sliding chin vent actuating mechanism that is thicker for glove use, and an exterior connection point for communication systems that does not interfere with the helmet's protective integrity. A small stitched opening inside the neck roll allows for tidy wiring installation for intercom systems, maintaining a clean appearance and streamlined ride. Overall, the Arai Contour-X Helmet combines cutting-edge aerodynamics, ventilation, and safety features for serious riders seeking maximum comfort and protection.
