The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Snake Red Helmet in size small offers advanced aerodynamic features and innovative design for touring riders. Its 3D Arai logo duct, with a depth of just 3.5 mm, efficiently channels air through two central 10 mm intake ports, enhancing ventilation while maintaining a sleek profile. Designed to break away upon impact, the logo duct contributes to rider safety without compromising structural integrity. The helmet's one-piece rear exhaust/spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but modified for touring use, improves airflow management and stability at highway speeds, reducing buffeting and rider fatigue during long rides. Operated by a convenient 3-way switch, the rear spoiler can be opened or closed easily with gloves, allowing for adjustable airflow suited to riding conditions. The spoiler's position slightly forward on the shell optimizes airflow and helps smooth air over the helmet's surface, further enhancing stability and rider comfort. Constructed with lightweight Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), the helmet maintains strength while minimizing weight. An extra layer of super fiber belting in the outer shell reinforces rigidity in critical areas and provides flat sides suitable for mounting communication systems without sacrificing protection. The Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the visor mounting position by approximately 24 mm across both temples, improving aerodynamics and reducing the risk of energy glancing impacts. The sliding chin vent, with a thicker mechanism designed for glove operation, offers three positions—open, midway, and closed—and includes a replaceable filter for optimal airflow and filtration. The helmet's outer shell features a stylish, organic design that integrates side ducts for efficient airflow management. An internal stitched opening in the neck roll facilitates easy wiring for communication systems, with a flared opening to assist with helmet donning and removal, especially for newcomers. Overall, the Contour-X Helmet combines cutting-edge aerodynamics, safety features, and rider comfort in a lightweight, stylish package suitable for touring enthusiasts.
