The Arai Contour-X Helmet combines touring-focused aerodynamics, ventilation, and communication-system compatibility in a lightweight, protective design. Finished in the Snake Red colorway and offered in an XS size, this Arai helmet features a streamlined outer shell shaped to improve stability and reduce buffeting during highway riding. The integrated rear exhaust and spoiler system helps smooth airflow over and around the helmet, supporting a more comfortable ride and reduced fatigue in upright riding positions. The spoiler is designed to crush or break away during an impact, helping it remain separate from the helmet’s protective performance.
The Arai Contour-X uses Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2) for a strong, lightweight shell with integrated side ducts. An additional super fiber belt reinforces a crucial area while creating flatter sides for easier intercom installation. The Variable Axis System (VAS) visor mounting arrangement lowers the pivot location and contributes to a smoother shell shape designed to improve the helmet’s ability to glance off energy. The shell opening is flared to make putting the helmet on and taking it off easier while maintaining the secure, close-fitting feel expected from Arai.
Ventilation is managed through a 3-position sliding chin vent with open, midway, and closed settings, high-volume intake performance, and a replaceable filter. The 3D Arai logo duct feeds two central intake ports and can be operated with summer or winter gloves using a short-stroke lever. The duct is designed to break away during an impact and works effectively at lower speeds or with an upright riding position. The rear spoiler is controlled by a 3-way switch and draws air through shell ports for efficient exhaust flow. Arai also provides a dedicated exterior communication-system mounting area and a stitched opening inside the neck roll for concealing excess speaker wiring. The Arai Contour-X Helmet, part number 0101-16067, delivers practical touring performance without compromising the refined fit and protective design associated with Arai helmets.
