The Arai Helmets Contour-X Helmet in Proto Red, Large, is a touring-focused motorcycle helmet designed for riders who want balanced ventilation, aerodynamic stability, and communication-system compatibility. Manufacturer part number 0101-20468 and vendor part number 0101-20468 identify this specific configuration. The helmet uses Arai’s Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2) shell design for lightweight strength, with an additional Super Fiber belt that helps maintain rigidity while providing flat side areas for easier intercom installation.
Ventilation is managed through a 3D Arai logo duct that feeds two central 0.39-inch intake ports and can be opened or closed using a short-stroke lever positioned at the top of the helmet. The duct is designed to break away during an impact. A three-position sliding chin vent offers open, midway, and closed settings, delivers substantial intake airflow, and includes a replaceable filter. At the rear, a one-piece aerodynamic exhaust spoiler uses a three-way switch and three shell-fed ports to draw air efficiently while smoothing airflow over and around the helmet. This helps improve stability and reduce buffeting, particularly during highway riding and overtaking.
The Contour-X incorporates Arai’s Variable Axis System (VAS), which lowers the visor mounting position to create a smoother shell shape intended to improve glancing performance. The shell opening is flared to make the helmet easier to put on and remove while retaining a secure fit once in place. Exterior provisions support straightforward communication-system installation without compromising the inner EPS liner, and a stitched opening in the neck roll helps conceal excess speaker wiring. This Large-size helmet is intended for compatible adult motorcycle applications and is suitable for touring riders using an upright riding position.
