The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Helmet in Swirl Red offers a blend of advanced aerodynamics and rider comfort designed for touring enthusiasts. Its lightweight outer shell utilizes Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), providing exceptional strength while maintaining a sleek profile. Integrated side ducts and a small stitched opening on the neck roll enable easy installation and concealment of communication system wiring, ensuring a clean and streamlined appearance. The helmet’s stylish, organic shape is complemented by a 5 mm shell flare around the opening, facilitating easier donning and removal, especially for new users.
Designed with rider safety and performance in mind, the Contour-X features a breakaway rear spoiler inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X, optimized for touring use. This aerodynamic spoiler, fed by three ports in the shell, effectively smooths airflow over the helmet, reducing buffeting and enhancing stability at highway speeds. The spoiler’s design allows it to break away upon impact, maintaining protective integrity without adding unnecessary weight. The helmet also includes a 3-position sliding air-scoop chin vent with a replaceable filter, providing ample airflow control with an easy-to-operate mechanism compatible with gloves.
The helmet's visor mounting system, utilizing the Variable Axis System (VAS), allows for a lowered visor position, increasing peripheral visibility and improving helmet fit. Additionally, the helmet features a 3D Arai logo duct that feeds two 10 mm intake ports, functioning efficiently at low speeds and in an upright riding position. This duct can be easily opened or closed with a short-stroke lever located at the top, operable with summer or winter gloves, and indicates open or closed status via the logo placement. The helmet’s outer shell includes an extra layer of super fiber belting in critical regions, enhancing rigidity and impact resistance, while maintaining a lightweight structure suitable for long rides.
Designed to accommodate communication systems seamlessly, the Contour-X includes an external connection point that preserves helmet integrity. The overall construction emphasizes safety, comfort, and aerodynamic performance, making it an ideal choice for touring riders seeking a stylish yet functional helmet that minimizes fatigue and maximizes protection.
