ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Snake Red Helmet Large - Part 0101-16070
The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Helmet in Snake Red offers advanced aerodynamic features and superior safety for touring riders. Its lightweight shell is constructed using Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), providing a strong yet minimal profile that reduces fatigue during long rides. The helmet’s design incorporates an integrated side duct system and extra super fiber belting in key areas to enhance rigidity without adding bulk, ensuring durability and comfort on the road.
The helmet features a low-profile 3D Arai logo duct that feeds two central 10 mm intake ports, optimizing airflow to keep the rider cool. The duct is designed to break away upon impact, maintaining safety without compromising aerodynamic performance. The rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but redesigned for touring, is a one-piece exhaust/spoiler operated by a 3-way switch, allowing easy adjustment with gloves. Positioned slightly forward on the shell, the spoiler draws air efficiently, smoothing airflow over the helmet and reducing buffeting at highway speeds, which significantly lessens rider fatigue during extended rides.
The helmet includes a sliding chin vent with three adjustable positions—open, midway, and closed—allowing large volume airflow with a replaceable filter, and a thicker actuating mechanism designed for glove use. The outer shell’s sleek, organic shape complements its aerodynamic functions, while the variable axis visor mounting system (VAS) lowers the visor position by approximately 24 mm for better peripheral vision and energy deflection. A small stitched opening inside the neck roll provides an easy route for managing wiring from communication systems, with the shell flare increasing by 5 mm around the opening for easier helmet donning and removal.
Designed to accommodate communication systems without compromising protection, the helmet features a flat-sided outer shell for seamless intercom installation. The aerodynamic rear spoiler and venting system are engineered to enhance stability, reduce buffeting, and improve rider comfort at highway speeds, making it an excellent choice for touring enthusiasts seeking safety, style, and practicality.
