The Arai Contour-X Helmet in Podium finish combines touring-focused comfort, ventilation, aerodynamic stability, and Arai’s commitment to protective performance. Part number 0101-17059 features a Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2) outer shell designed to provide lightweight strength while maintaining a smooth, organic profile. The shell incorporates integrated side ducts and flat areas that simplify installation of a compatible communication system without compromising the protection provided by the inner EPS liner.
The 3D Arai logo duct feeds fresh air through the central intake system and can be opened or closed easily while wearing summer or winter gloves. A short-stroke lever provides simple operation, while the duct is designed to break away in an impact. At the rear, a one-piece aerodynamic exhaust and spoiler uses a three-position control to help draw air from the helmet, smooth airflow, reduce buffeting, and improve stability during highway riding. Its touring-oriented design can help reduce rider fatigue, while the lightweight spoiler is engineered to crush or break away during an impact without affecting the helmet’s protective performance.
A three-position sliding chin vent provides adjustable airflow and includes a replaceable filter. The thicker operating mechanism is glove friendly for convenient use on the road. Arai’s Variable Axis System (VAS) visor mounting design lowers the mounting position to support a smoother shell shape and improve the helmet’s ability to glance off energy. The shell opening is flared for easier installation and removal, while the neck roll includes a discreet stitched opening to help installers manage excess communication-system wiring. With its thoughtful ventilation, aerodynamic refinement, communication-system compatibility, and Arai HELMETS craftsmanship, the Contour-X is built for riders seeking dependable performance on extended street and touring rides.
