The Arai Helmets Contour-X Swirl in White, size 2XL, is engineered for optimal performance and comfort on the road. Featuring a lightweight PB-cLc2 shell with Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction, this helmet offers exceptional strength while maintaining a sleek profile. The shell's organic shape is designed to enhance aerodynamics, with flared openings that facilitate easier donning and doffing, and a Variable Axis System (VAS) that lowers the visor mounting position by approximately 24 mm for improved airflow and energy deflection.
The helmet’s innovative 3D Arai logo duct measures only 3.5 mm in depth and efficiently feeds two central 10 mm intake ports. This duct is effective at low speeds and in an upright riding posture, with a short-stroke lever at the top allowing easy opening or closing even with gloves. It is designed to break away upon impact, ensuring safety without compromising structural integrity.
An aerodynamic rear spoiler, inspired by the Corsair-X DF-X2 model, is positioned slightly more forward on the shell and fed by three ports, effectively smoothing airflow over and from the helmet's sides. This design reduces buffeting at highway speeds, alleviating rider fatigue and enhancing stability during aggressive riding. The spoiler is operable via a three-position switch (open, midway, closed), and it is engineered to break away under impact to protect the rider.
The helmet features a 3-position sliding air-scoop chin vent that provides a high volume of airflow and includes a replaceable filter. The thickened, glove-friendly actuating mechanism ensures ease of use in all conditions. The shell design supports seamless integration of communication systems without compromising the helmet’s protective performance, with a dedicated opening on the inside of the neck roll to tuck away excess wiring for a clean appearance.
For visibility and safety, the visor mounting is repositioned lower, allowing for an additional 24 mm clearance across the temple areas, enhancing the helmet's aerodynamic profile and energy deflection capabilities. The outer shell’s design incorporates extra super fiber belting in critical areas to maintain rigidity, and side ducts improve airflow and cooling. The helmet’s overall construction prioritizes lightweight strength, comfort, and advanced features, making it suitable for touring and high-performance riding.
