The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Helmet in Swirl Red offers advanced aerodynamic features and innovative ventilation designed for optimal riding comfort and safety. Crafted with the Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), this helmet combines lightweight strength with a stylish, organic shape to ensure durability without adding unnecessary weight. The shell's flared opening facilitates easy donning and removal, particularly for new riders, while maintaining a snug fit for effective protection.
Equipped with a 3D Arai logo duct, this helmet effectively channels airflow to two central 10 mm intake ports, improving ventilation at low speeds and in upright riding positions. The logo duct can be easily opened or closed with gloves via a short-stroke lever on the top, providing quick adjustments for varying weather conditions. Additionally, the helmet features a sliding 3-position chin vent with a replaceable filter, ensuring ample airflow while maintaining protection and comfort during long rides.
The aerodynamic rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 Corsair-X but redesigned for touring, sits slightly forward on the shell and is fed by three ports. It effectively smooths airflow over the helmet, reducing buffeting and increasing stability at highway speeds, which lessens rider fatigue. The spoiler is engineered to break away upon impact, ensuring safety isn’t compromised. The helmet also incorporates a Variable Axis System (VAS) that lowers the visor mounting position, providing a smoother profile and increased energy deflection capacity. An integrated communication system connection point on the shell allows for easy installation without sacrificing protection.
Designed with an emphasis on both safety and convenience, the Contour-X features extra super fiber belting in the outer shell for added rigidity in critical areas. The lightweight helmet weighs approximately 76.8 ounces and includes an interior neck roll with a discreet opening to manage wiring for communication systems. The shell’s organic shape and aerodynamic enhancements contribute to a sleek, stylish appearance while delivering excellent performance for touring and everyday riding.
