The Arai Contour-X Helmet combines touring-focused comfort, aerodynamic stability, and Arai’s proven shell construction in a distinctive Mark Yellow finish. Part Number 0101-18149 features a Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2) outer shell designed to provide lightweight strength while maintaining a smooth, organic profile. Integrated side ducts and a reinforced belt area help preserve shell rigidity while creating flat surfaces for convenient communication system installation without compromising the protective EPS liner.
The three-dimensional Arai logo duct feeds two central intake ports and can be opened or closed easily with summer or winter gloves using a short-stroke lever. Its position makes operation straightforward, even when riding in an upright position, while the breakaway design is intended to minimize interference during an impact. A three-position sliding chin vent provides open, midway, and closed settings, delivers substantial airflow, and includes a replaceable filter. The thicker actuating mechanism is glove-friendly for practical adjustment on the road.
At the rear, the one-piece aerodynamic exhaust and spoiler draws air through three shell ports while smoothing airflow over and around the helmet. Its three-way switch allows open, midway, or closed operation, helping improve stability and reduce buffeting during highway riding and overtaking. The spoiler is manufactured to be thin and light and is designed to crush or break away during an impact. Arai’s Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the visor mounting position to support a smoother shell shape and enhanced glancing-off performance, while a flared opening makes the helmet easier to put on and remove. The neck roll also includes a discreet stitched opening for routing excess communication system wiring. The Arai Contour-X Helmet in Large offers a refined solution for riders seeking airflow control, touring aerodynamics, and dependable Arai fit and finish.
