Contour-X Helmet - Star - Large
The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Star Helmet offers advanced aerodynamic features and innovative ventilation designed for touring riders. Its low-profile 3D Arai logo duct, only 3.5 mm deep, feeds two central 10 mm intake ports to optimize airflow at low speeds and in upright riding positions. The duct's design allows easy opening or closing with summer or winter gloves via a short-stroke lever positioned at the top; if the rider cannot see the lever and the logo is in its normal position, the duct remains open. This mechanism enhances rider convenience and ventilation control without compromising safety. Constructed with Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), the shell combines lightweight strength with durability, featuring extra super fiber belting to maintain rigidity in critical areas. The outer shell's organic shape and flared opening facilitate easier donning and doffing, especially for newcomers, while the Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the visor mounting position by approximately 24 mm across the temples, improving aerodynamic performance and minimizing energy transfer from glancing impacts. The helmet's rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but redesigned for touring, is a one-piece aerodynamic component that efficiently draws air through three ports, smoothing airflow over and from the helmet sides. This reduces buffeting and rider fatigue during highway overtaking. The spoiler is engineered to break away upon impact, ensuring safety is not compromised. The helmet features a three-position sliding chin vent with an integrated filter, allowing large-volume airflow and easy adjustment with gloves, enhancing comfort in varying weather conditions. Additionally, the helmet's exterior is designed to accommodate communication systems seamlessly, with a discreet internal opening within the neck roll for wiring management. Weighing approximately 76.8 ounces, the Contour-X Star combines style, safety, and performance, making it an ideal choice for touring enthusiasts seeking a high-performance helmet with integrated aerodynamic and ventilation features.
