The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Snake Helmet in striking red offers a combination of innovative aerodynamics and advanced safety features designed for touring riders. Its lightweight outer shell, constructed with Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), ensures strength and durability while maintaining a sleek profile. The helmet's organic shape and extra super fiber belting in key areas provide enhanced rigidity, contributing to overall rider protection and comfort.
One of the standout features is the aerodynamic rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but redesigned for touring. This spoiler operates as a one-piece exhaust and is controlled by a 3-way switch, allowing riders to open or close it easily with gloves. Positioned slightly forward on the shell, the spoiler is fed by three ports that efficiently draw air, smoothing airflow over the helmet and reducing buffeting at highway speeds. This design helps decrease rider fatigue during long rides and ensures a stable riding experience. The rear spoiler is engineered to break away upon impact, ensuring safety isn't compromised.
The helmet features a low-profile, 3.5 mm deep logo duct that feeds two central 10 mm intake ports, optimized for low-speed and upright riding positions. The duct can be opened or closed via a short-stroke lever on top of the helmet, providing quick adjustments even with gloves on. The sliding chin vent boasts a thicker mechanism for easier operation with gloves and includes a replaceable filter, allowing for maximum airflow and comfort in different weather conditions. The helmet's design also facilitates easy installation of communication systems externally, with a small stitched opening inside the neck roll to tuck away excess wiring for a clean look.
With a variable axis system (VAS) for visor mounting, the Peak-X improves the helmet's aerodynamics by lowering the visor position, increasing the glancing off energy capacity by an average of 24 mm across both temple areas. The outer shell features an stylish, organic shape with integrated side ducts, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional airflow management. The helmet is designed for ease of use and comfort, with features like a flared opening that makes it easier to put on and take off, especially for newcomers. Overall, the ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Snake Helmet combines innovative airflow management, safety, and style for the discerning touring rider.
