The Arai Helmets Contour-X Helmet combines touring-focused comfort, ventilation, and aerodynamic stability with Arai’s advanced shell construction. Finished in Diamond White and sized Medium, this helmet features a streamlined organic shell profile made with Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2). An additional super fiber belt helps maintain rigidity in a critical shell area while creating smooth, flat surfaces for convenient communication system installation.
The 3D ARAI logo duct feeds the central intake ports and can be opened or closed easily while wearing summer or winter gloves. Its short-stroke lever is positioned at the top for simple operation, while the duct is designed to break away during an impact. A sliding chin vent offers three settings for controlled airflow and includes a replaceable filter. The thicker actuator is easy to operate with gloves, supporting effective ventilation in changing riding conditions.
An aerodynamic rear exhaust and spoiler assembly uses a three-position switch for open, midway, or closed settings. Inspired by the Corsair-X DF-X2 system and redesigned for touring, the spoiler helps draw air through the helmet while smoothing airflow over the shell to improve stability and reduce buffeting at highway speeds. The spoiler is engineered to crush or break away during an impact without compromising the helmet’s protective performance. Arai’s Variable Axis System lowers the visor mounting position to support a smoother shell shape and improved glancing performance. The shell opening is flared for easier helmet installation and removal, while an interior neck-roll opening helps installers neatly conceal excess communication-system wiring. The Arai Contour-X Helmet, part number 0101-18130, is designed for riders seeking refined touring aerodynamics, practical ventilation, and reliable communication-system compatibility.
