The Arai Helmets Contour-X Helmet combines touring-focused comfort, ventilation, aerodynamic stability, and Arai’s commitment to protective shell design. Finished in Black Frost and identified by part number 0101-18319, this small motorcycle helmet features a Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2) outer shell that delivers lightweight strength with a smooth, organic profile. The shell also incorporates an additional Super Fiber belt in a critical area, helping maintain rigidity while providing a practical, flat surface for installing an exterior communication system without compromising the inner EPS liner.
The 3D Arai logo duct feeds two central intake ports and is easy to open or close with a short-stroke lever that can be operated while wearing summer or winter gloves. Its position makes it easy to identify the duct setting at a glance, and the duct is designed to break away in an impact. A three-position sliding chin vent provides open, midway, and closed settings, delivers a high volume of incoming air, and includes a replaceable filter. The thicker actuator is designed for straightforward glove-friendly operation.
At the rear, the one-piece aerodynamic exhaust and spoiler uses a three-way switch for open, midway, and closed settings. Inspired by the Corsair-X DF-X2 system but redesigned for touring, the spoiler draws air through three shell ports while smoothing airflow over and around the helmet. This helps 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, while the shell opening is flared for easier on-and-off access. The interior neck roll includes a discreet stitched opening to help installers route excess communication-system wiring cleanly.
