The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Swirl Helmet (Part Number: 0101-20189) combines innovative design with premium safety features, making it an excellent choice for touring riders seeking comfort and performance. Crafted with Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), this helmet offers lightweight strength and durability, ensuring reliable protection during long rides. Its sleek, organic outer shell design not only enhances aesthetics but also improves aerodynamics, reducing turbulence and rider fatigue at highway speeds. The shell's flared opening facilitates easy donning and doffing, especially for newcomers, while maintaining a snug fit that enhances safety and comfort.
Equipped with a 3D Arai logo duct that measures just 3.5 mm in depth, this helmet efficiently feeds two central 10 mm intake ports to optimize airflow and cooling. The logo duct is designed for easy operation with gloves, featuring a short-stroke lever at the top, which can be opened or closed depending on seasonal needs. The helmet's aerodynamic rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 Corsair-X model but redesigned for touring, improves stability by smoothing airflow over the helmet's sides, especially during overtaking at highway speeds, thereby reducing rider fatigue. The spoiler is engineered to break away upon impact, ensuring safety is not compromised.
The Contour-X features a versatile, 3-position sliding chin vent that supplies significant airflow through a replaceable filter, enhancing comfort in various weather conditions. The vent's thicker, glove-friendly actuating mechanism makes adjustments straightforward. For communication system integration, the helmet's shell includes designated areas that allow for easy mounting without sacrificing protective integrity. Additional features include an inner visor that can be lowered using the Variable Axis System (VAS), increasing the visor's reach by approximately 24 mm at the temples for better energy dispersion. The helmet's outer shell also incorporates integrated side ducts and extra super fiber belting to maintain rigidity and support accessory installation.
Designed to provide a secure, comfortable fit while maintaining a sleek appearance, the Contour-X includes a small stitched opening inside the neck roll for managing excess wiring from communication systems. This helmet is suitable for riders who prioritize advanced aerodynamics, ventilation, and compatibility with communication devices, making it a reliable companion for long-distance touring and everyday riding alike.
