The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Helmet in the Swirl design featuring the Marquez Holi motif offers advanced aerodynamic features and innovative ventilation for optimal riding comfort. Crafted with Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), this lightweight shell combines strength and flexibility, ensuring durability while maintaining a sleek, organic shape. The helmet's design incorporates integrated side ducts and extra super fiber belting, reinforcing critical areas without adding unnecessary weight, making it ideal for both daily commuting and long-distance touring.
One of the standout features of this helmet is the aerodynamic rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but redesigned for touring use. It is operated via a 3-way switch, allowing riders to adjust airflow for different riding conditions. The spoiler efficiently channels air, reducing buffeting and increasing stability at highway speeds, which results in less rider fatigue during extended rides. The spoiler is also designed to break away upon impact, providing safety without compromising aerodynamic performance.
The helmet features a 3-position sliding chin vent with a large intake volume and a replaceable filter, ensuring optimal airflow and comfort in varying weather conditions. The vent mechanism is thicker for better glove compatibility, making adjustments easy even with summer or winter gloves. The visor mounting system is lowered using the Variable Axis System (VAS), increasing peripheral vision and improving energy deflection. The helmet's shell flares by 5 mm around the opening, facilitating easier donning and removal, especially for new users.
Designed with connectivity in mind, the exterior shell offers seamless integration for communication systems without sacrificing protection. A small stitched opening inside the neck roll allows for discreet wire management, keeping the interior clean and organized. The helmet's overall shape and features aim to provide a stylish, secure fit, with the added benefit of enhanced airflow, stability, and safety for spirited riders and touring enthusiasts alike.
