Contour-X Helmet - Star - XS
The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Star Helmet offers a blend of advanced aerodynamics, innovative ventilation, and stylish design tailored for touring riders. Its lightweight fiberglass shell, constructed with Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), provides durability and strength while maintaining a sleek profile. The helmet's design features an organic shape that reduces wind resistance and enhances overall stability at highway speeds. The flared shell opening facilitates easy donning and removal, accommodating both new and experienced riders.
The helmet is equipped with a 3D Arai logo duct, only 3.5 mm deep, which channels air through two central 10 mm intake ports. This duct functions well at low speeds and in an upright riding position, with a simple short-stroke lever at the top for easy open and close operation, even with gloves on. Designed for safety, the logo duct is engineered to break away upon impact, offering protection without compromising structural integrity. An aerodynamic rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X, is integrated into the shell, positioned slightly forward and fed by three ports to efficiently draw air and smooth airflow over the helmet. This design reduces buffeting and rider fatigue, especially during high-speed overtaking.
Ventilation is further enhanced by a three-position, sliding air-scoop chin vent with a replaceable filter. Its thicker, glove-friendly mechanism ensures easy operation in all conditions. The helmet's outer shell includes integrated side ducts and extra super fiber belting for improved rigidity in critical areas. The Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the visor mounting position, increasing peripheral vision and allowing the visor to glancing off energy more effectively. The helmet's shell features a 5 mm flare around the opening to facilitate easier on and off, crucial for comfort and safety.
For communication system integration, a discreet stitched opening inside the neck roll provides a clean, organized space for wiring, ensuring seamless installation without compromising helmet integrity. The Contour-X Star Helmet also incorporates a stylish and aerodynamic outer design, making it an ideal choice for touring enthusiasts seeking performance, safety, and comfort in one package.
