The Arai Contour-X Helmet in Proto Yellow, Medium, is a touring-focused motorcycle helmet designed for riders who value ventilation, aerodynamic stability, communication-system compatibility, and Arai’s renowned shell construction. Manufactured by Arai Helmets and identified by manufacturer and vendor part number 0101-20473, this helmet features a lightweight PB-cLc2 outer shell with an added Super Fiber belt for strength, rigidity, and a smooth profile that supports easy intercom installation.
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, while the visual position of the logo indicates whether the duct is open or closed. A three-position sliding chin vent provides open, midway, and closed settings, delivers substantial airflow, and includes a replaceable filter. At the rear, the one-piece aerodynamic spoiler uses a three-way switch and three shell ports to draw air efficiently, smooth airflow, reduce buffeting, and improve stability during highway riding and overtaking.
The Contour-X uses Arai’s Variable Axis System (VAS), which lowers the visor pivot position to create a smoother shell shape intended to improve glancing performance. The shell opening is flared by approximately 0.20 inch to make the helmet easier to put on and remove while maintaining a secure fit. The rear spoiler and logo duct are designed to crush or break away during an impact without compromising the helmet’s protective design. Exterior shell contours and a small opening inside the neck roll help installers route excess communication-system wiring neatly. This Medium helmet is intended for motorcycle touring and street riding applications where ventilation, aerodynamic comfort, and intercom compatibility are important.
