Contour-X Helmet - Star - XL
The Arai Helmets Contour-X Star XL combines innovative design with advanced safety features, making it an excellent choice for touring riders seeking comfort and performance. The helmet features a low-profile 3D Arai logo duct that is only 3.5 mm in depth, effectively feeding two 10 mm central intake ports to enhance airflow. This duct operates via a short-stroke lever at the top, allowing easy opening or closing with summer or winter gloves. When the lever is in the normal position, the duct is open, providing optimal ventilation for various riding conditions. Designed to break away upon impact, the logo duct maintains safety without compromising aerodynamic integrity. The helmet*s aerodynamic rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but reengineered for touring, improves stability and reduces buffeting at highway speeds. It is fed by three ports integrated into the shell and smoothly directs airflow over the helmet, minimizing rider fatigue during extended rides. Constructed with Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), the outer shell offers lightweight strength while maintaining safety standards. An extra layer of super fiber belting around critical areas enhances rigidity, and the shell*s shape facilitates easy attachment of communication systems without sacrificing protection. The helmet also features a three-position (open, midway, closed) sliding air-scoop chin vent, which provides high airflow volume and includes a replaceable filter. Its thicker, glove-friendly actuating mechanism ensures simple operation. The Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the visor mounting position by approximately 24 mm across the temples, increasing safety by enabling the visor to glint off energy more effectively. The shell*s 5 mm flare around the opening eases donning and doffing, especially for new users, while a discreet stitched opening in the neck roll allows for easy management of interior wiring for communication systems. Overall, the Contour-X Star XL offers a sleek, organic shape with lightweight construction, optimized airflow, and integrated features designed for rider comfort and safety on long-distance journeys.
