The Arai Contour-X Helmet combines touring-focused comfort, ventilation, aerodynamic stability, and the hand-built protective performance expected from Arai. Finished in Mark Red and sized 2XL, this helmet features a streamlined outer shell designed to reduce buffeting and rider fatigue during extended highway rides. Its Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2) provides lightweight strength, while the integrated side ducts and reinforced shell area support convenient communication-system installation without compromising the inner EPS liner.
The 3D Arai logo duct feeds the central intake ports and can be opened or closed easily while wearing summer or winter gloves. A short-stroke lever provides simple operation, with the logo position indicating whether the duct is open. The duct is also designed to break away in an impact. At the rear, a one-piece aerodynamic exhaust and spoiler system draws air efficiently through the shell while smoothing airflow over and around the helmet. Its three-position switch offers open, midway, and closed settings, and the spoiler is designed to crush or separate during an impact without affecting protective performance.
A sliding chin vent provides high-volume airflow through three selectable positions and includes a replaceable filter. The thicker actuator is easy to operate with gloves, making ventilation adjustments practical in changing riding conditions. Arai’s Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the visor mounting area to help create a smoother shell shape intended to improve glancing performance. The shell opening is gently flared for easier helmet removal, while a discreet stitched opening inside the neck roll helps installers conceal excess communication-system wiring. The Arai Contour-X Helmet delivers refined touring functionality, dependable ventilation, and a clean fit for riders seeking long-distance comfort.
