The Arai Helmets Contour-X Swirl Helmet combines innovative design with superior functionality, making it an excellent choice for riders seeking both style and performance. Crafted with Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), this helmet provides lightweight strength and durability, ensuring reliable protection during high-speed rides. Its sleek, organic outer shell shape features a 5 mm flare around the opening, facilitating easier donning and removal while maintaining a snug fit for optimal safety.
Equipped with a 3D Arai logo duct that feeds two central 10 mm intake ports, the helmet enhances airflow at low speeds and in an upright riding position. The duct can be easily opened or closed with a short-stroke lever, operable with gloves, allowing quick adjustments for varying weather conditions. The aerodynamic rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but redesigned for touring, features a one-piece exhaust function and three ports that effectively draw air, smoothing airflow over the helmet. This design improves stability, reduces buffeting, and minimizes rider fatigue during highway overtakes.
The helmet's ventilation system includes a 3-position sliding chin vent with a large intake volume and a replaceable filter, ensuring optimal airflow and comfort. The vent mechanism is designed for easy glove operation. A Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the visor mounting position by approximately 24 mm, creating a smoother shape that enhances energy deflection. Additional features include integrated side ducts, an extra layer of super fiber belting for rigidity, and a shell that flares slightly around the opening for easy access. For communication system integration, the helmet's shell exterior allows for seamless installation without compromising protection. An internal stitched opening in the neck roll provides a clean way to tuck away excess wiring, maintaining a sleek interior.
Overall, the Arai Contour-X Swirl Helmet offers advanced aerodynamics, excellent ventilation, and thoughtful design features that cater to touring riders seeking comfort, safety, and style on every ride.
