The Arai Helmets Contour-X Podium Helmet combines touring-focused comfort, ventilation, aerodynamic stability, and Arai’s renowned shell design in a streamlined package. Part Number 0101-17060 features a lightweight PB-cLc2 outer shell with an additional super fiber belt that reinforces a critical area while creating smooth, flat sides for convenient communication system installation. The shell’s organic shape is designed to support strength and protective performance without unnecessary bulk, while the flared eyeport opening makes the helmet easier to put on and remove.
The Contour-X uses a 3D Arai logo duct that feeds two central intake ports and can be opened or closed with a short-stroke lever that is easy to operate while wearing summer or winter gloves. A three-position chin vent provides open, midway, and closed settings for adjustable airflow and includes a replaceable filter. At the rear, a one-piece aerodynamic exhaust spoiler draws air through three shell ports while smoothing airflow over and around the helmet. Its touring-oriented design helps improve stability and reduce buffeting at highway speeds, helping minimize rider fatigue during longer rides. The spoiler is engineered to crush or break away during an impact and is manufactured to avoid compromising protective performance.
Arai’s Variable Axis System lowers the visor mounting position to create a smoother shell profile and support improved glancing-off capability. The helmet is also designed for straightforward communication system integration on the exterior, preserving the integrity of the inner EPS liner. A small stitched opening inside the neck roll provides a discreet route for excess speaker wiring, helping maintain a clean finished installation. With glove-friendly controls, adaptable ventilation, touring-oriented aerodynamics, and a refined interior fit, the Arai Helmets Contour-X Podium Helmet delivers practical performance for everyday road use and extended highway travel.
