The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Helmet in Diamond Black features innovative design elements aimed at enhancing rider safety and comfort during high-speed riding. Its shell is constructed using Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), which provides lightweight strength and durability. The helmet's shape combines a stylish, organic outline with integrated side ducts for efficient airflow management. An extra layer of super fiber belting maintains shell rigidity in critical areas, ensuring optimal protection without adding unnecessary weight.
Designed with practicality in mind, this helmet includes a 3D ARAI logo duct that measures just 3.5 mm in depth. It channels air into two central 10 mm intake ports, improving ventilation at low speeds and in upright riding positions. The logo duct is easily adjustable via a short-stroke lever located at the top, which can be operated with summer or winter gloves. The lever's placement allows quick opening or closing, and its design ensures it can be easily seen or accessed during rides.
The aerodynamic rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but adapted for touring, enhances stability and reduces buffeting at highway speeds. It features a one-piece exhaust/spoiler that can be operated through a three-way switch—open, midway, or closed—allowing riders to optimize airflow based on riding conditions. The spoiler is designed to break away upon impact, maintaining safety without compromising aerodynamic benefits. Additionally, the helmet features a sliding chin vent with three positions—open, midway, and closed—that allows large volumes of air to flow through, complete with a replaceable filter for maintenance.
Equipped for communication system integration, the helmet's shell is designed to facilitate easy exterior connections without compromising the inner EPS liner's protective qualities. The Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the visor mounting position by approximately 24 mm across the temples, promoting a smoother aerodynamic profile and better energy deflection. The shell also flares 5 mm around the opening, making the helmet easier to put on and take off, especially for new users.
For a clean and streamlined appearance, a small stitched opening on the inner neck roll allows for easy cable management of installed intercom systems. Overall, the ARAI HELMETS Contour-X combines advanced aerodynamics, safety features, and rider-focused convenience for an optimal touring helmet experience.
