The Arai Contour-X Helmet in Diamond Black, size XL, is a premium full-face motorcycle helmet designed for touring riders who demand balanced ventilation, aerodynamic stability, and dependable protection. Manufactured by Arai Helmets, this helmet uses Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2) to create a strong, lightweight outer shell with integrated side ducts. An additional super fiber belt reinforces a critical shell area while maintaining smooth, flat sides for convenient communication-system installation.
Ventilation is managed through a 3D Arai logo duct that feeds two central intake ports and can be opened or closed with a short-stroke lever designed for use with summer or winter gloves. The three-position sliding chin vent provides open, midway, and closed settings, delivers substantial airflow, and includes a replaceable filter. At the rear, the aerodynamic exhaust spoiler uses a three-way switch and three shell ports to draw air efficiently while smoothing airflow over and around the helmet. This design helps improve stability and reduce buffeting, particularly at highway speeds.
The Contour-X incorporates Arai's Variable Axis System (VAS), which lowers the visor mounting position to support a smoother shell shape and improve the helmet's ability to glance off energy. The shell opening is flared to make putting the helmet on and removing it easier, while the aerodynamic rear spoiler and logo duct are designed to break away or crush during an impact without compromising protective performance. The helmet is also prepared for easy exterior communication-system fitment without compromising the inner EPS liner. A stitched opening inside the neck roll helps installers route and conceal excess speaker wiring.
Finished in Diamond Black and offered in XL, the Arai Contour-X is suited to riders seeking a touring-oriented full-face helmet with advanced airflow management, reduced wind disturbance, and communication-system compatibility. Manufacturer part number and vendor part number: 0101-18138.
