The Arai Helmets Contour-X Helmet in Proto Red, size XL, is designed for riders seeking touring comfort, ventilation, aerodynamic stability, and uncompromised protection. Built with Arai’s Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), the outer shell combines lightweight strength with a smooth, organic profile. An additional layer of Super Fiber belting reinforces a critical shell area while creating flat sides that simplify fitment of an intercom system. The shell is also flared around the opening to make putting the helmet on and taking it off easier, while maintaining the secure, snug fit expected from Arai.
Ventilation is managed through a 3D Arai logo duct that feeds two central 0.39-inch intake ports. Its short-stroke lever is easy to operate with summer or winter gloves, and the duct can be opened or closed quickly. A sliding chin vent offers three positions—open, midway, and closed—to provide substantial airflow and includes a replaceable filter. At the rear, the one-piece aerodynamic exhaust spoiler is operated by a three-way switch and draws air through three shell ports. Inspired by the DF-X2 used on the Corsair-X, the spoiler is positioned for touring use to smooth airflow, reduce buffeting, and improve stability at highway speeds.
The Contour-X uses Arai’s Variable Axis System (VAS), which lowers the visor mounting position and creates a smoother shell shape intended to improve glancing performance. The rear spoiler and logo duct are designed to crush or break away during an impact, minimizing their influence on protective performance. The helmet is prepared for easy exterior communication-system installation without compromising the inner EPS liner, and a stitched opening inside the neck roll helps conceal excess speaker wiring. This helmet fits riders seeking an XL Arai Contour-X touring platform in the Proto Red finish. Brand: Arai Helmets. Manufacturer part number and vendor part number: 0101-20469.
