Contour-X Helmet - Snake

The Arai Contour-X Helmet represents a masterclass in touring performance, blending advanced aerodynamics with the legendary protection standards Arai is known for. Constructed using Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), the outer shell offers exceptional lightweight strength. Its organic shape is enhanced by an extra layer of super fiber belting that maintains rigidity while providing flat sides specifically designed for the easy fitment of an intercom system.

Ventilation is a core feature of this design, headlined by the innovative 3D Arai logo duct. At just 3.5 mm in depth, it feeds two central 10 mm intake ports and is easily operated with gloves via a short-stroke lever. Complementing this is a 3-position sliding air-scoop chin vent with a replaceable filter, ensuring massive airflow tailored to your environment. For superior stability at highway speeds, the aerodynamic rear spoiler with a one-piece exhaust function draws hot air out while smoothing airflow to reduce buffeting and rider fatigue. Both the logo duct and the rear spoiler are engineered to break away or crush upon impact, ensuring no compromise to the helmet’s protective performance.

The Contour-X utilizes the Variable Axis System (VAS), which lowers the visor mounting position to increase the surface area across the temple areas. This creates a smoother shape that excels at glancing off energy during an impact. To enhance the daily riding experience, the shell features a 5 mm flare around the opening, making it significantly easier to put on and take off without sacrificing the secure "snugness" required for safety.

Designed with modern technology in mind, the helmet allows for seamless integration of communication systems on the shell exterior without affecting the inner EPS liner. A small, stitched opening inside the neck roll provides a clean finish, allowing installers to easily tuck away excess wiring. Whether you are navigating city streets or embarking on a long-distance tour, this helmet provides the technical sophistication and comfort required for the road ahead.
