Contour-X Helmet - Diamond Black - XL
The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Helmet in Diamond Black offers advanced aerodynamic features and innovative ventilation systems designed for optimal riding comfort and safety. Featuring a sleek, organic outer shell crafted with Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), this helmet combines lightweight strength with durability, ensuring protection without excess weight. The shell design includes integrated side ducts and extra super fiber belting, which enhances rigidity in crucial areas while maintaining a streamlined profile for improved aerodynamics and reduced rider fatigue. The Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the visor mounting position by an average of 24 mm across both temple areas, promoting a smoother shape that effectively deflects energy during impacts. The helmet*s shell flares 5 mm around the opening, facilitating easier donning and removal, especially for new users. A small stitched opening inside the neck roll allows for seamless wire management when installing communication systems, maintaining a clean aesthetic and functional integration. The Contour-X*s aerodynamic rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but redesigned for touring, features a one-piece exhaust/spoiler with a three-port design that efficiently draws air and smooths airflow over the helmet's sides, significantly reducing buffeting at highway speeds. This improves stability and decreases rider fatigue during long rides. The spoiler is constructed to break away upon impact, ensuring safety isn*t compromised. The helmet*s ventilation system includes a 3-position sliding chin vent with a large intake volume and a replaceable filter, operable with gloves for quick adjustments. Additionally, the helmet*s external communication system mounting points are designed to connect easily without compromising the inner EPS liner*s protective integrity. The integrated logo duct, merely 3.5 mm thick, feeds two central 10 mm intake ports and functions well at low speeds and in an upright riding posture. It can be opened or closed effortlessly using a short-stroke lever accessible with summer or winter gloves, and a simple visual cue indicates the duct's status. Overall, the Contour-X combines innovative aerodynamics, ventilation, and safety features in a stylish, lightweight shell, making it an excellent choice for touring riders seeking comfort, safety, and functionality in a premium helmet.
