The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Swirl Helmet (Part Number: 0101-20186) combines innovative design with high-performance features for serious riders. Its lightweight construction, utilizing Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), offers exceptional strength while maintaining a sleek profile. The outer shell's organic shape and integrated side ducts optimize airflow, contributing to reduced buffeting and rider fatigue during highway overtaking. The helmet's flared 5 mm opening facilitates easier donning and removal, especially for newcomers, while the thin yet durable shell ensures protection without excess weight.
The helmet features a 3D Arai logo duct that measures just 3.5 mm in depth, feeding two central 10 mm intake ports to improve airflow at low speeds and in an upright riding posture. The logo duct is easy to open or close with summer or winter gloves via a short-stroke lever positioned at the top, enhancing rider convenience. Designed to break away upon impact, this duct maintains safety standards without compromising structural integrity.
An aerodynamic rear spoiler inspired by the DF-X2 Corsair-X enhances stability by efficiently drawing air through three ports in the shell, smoothing airflow over the helmet and reducing buffeting at highway speeds. This spoiler, which can be operated by a three-position switch (open, midway, closed), is mounted more forward on the shell for better aerodynamics and rider comfort. The helmet's ventilation system includes a sliding chin vent with three adjustable positions and a replaceable filter, allowing for optimal airflow control even in varying weather conditions. The thicker, glove-friendly actuating mechanism ensures ease of use during rides.
The Contour-X incorporates Variable Axis System (VAS) technology, lowering the visor mounting position by approximately 24 mm across the temples, which results in a smoother shape that better deflects energy and enhances safety. The helmet's shell features an extra layer of super fiber belting in critical areas, providing additional rigidity and protection. For seamless communication system integration, the helmet's exterior is designed to accommodate devices without compromising the EPS liner's protective qualities. A small stitched opening inside the neck roll ensures tidy wiring installation for intercom systems, maintaining a clean and professional appearance. Overall, the ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Swirl Helmet offers a perfect balance of safety, comfort, and aerodynamic performance for the discerning rider.
