PB e-cLc Outer Shell:

• The PB e-cLc outer shell design outlines a stylish, organic shape and uses a Peripherally Belted e-Complex Laminate Construction for lightweight strength. The shell is designed to glance off and spread impact forces. New, proprietary materials replace the former AR-mat middle layer, resulting in a substantial weight reduction while maintaining the same strength as the PB-cLc construction.

Ventilation:

• Comprehensive and controllable ventilation is based around 13 ventilation ports: 7 intake, 6 exhaust. The 3D Arai logo feeds cooling air into two central intake points and works well at low speed, alongside dual F1-derived tear duct top intakes, twin brow vents and 2-position sliding air-scoop filtered chin vent. Hot air is efficiently extracted via the 3-way one-piece rear exhaust/spoiler, twin flush-fit side exhausts (with foam dams to reduce noise) and neck exhaust.

Arai's Proprietary Liner:

• The fully removable interior liner system is made from odor resistant material, which helps maintain neutral acidity levels close to human skin, as well as a softer liner material and adjustable temple padding to allow for a customized fit. All parts (replaceable or not) can be cleaned with lukewarm water and mild soap. Rinse well after cleaning and never dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Interior parts in different size thickness are available for a custom fit for every rider.

VAS Shield System:

• Normally the shield mounting position must remain relatively high, because a lower shield pivot will not allow the shield to open or close. The VAS (Variable Axis System) has a variable axis (moving pivot point), allowing the shield to open and close even with the lower shield position.

VAS V MV Shield:

• The VAS MAX Vision shield is standard to provide better visibility in all seasons and for all types of riding and comes standard with a clear anti-fog Pinlock insert.

VAS Shield Latch System:

• VAS shield latch system captures and holds the shield closed more securely to help prevent unexpected opening. In addition to a de-mist position, the larger latch design allows for an intuitive and seamless operation of the shield.

Additional Features:

• 3-position sliding air-scoop chin vent flows a larger intake volume of air and has a replaceable filter
• One-piece rear exhaust/spoiler draws air and smooths airflow, improving stability
• 13 total ventilation ports
• VAS (Variable Axis System) shield latch system captures and holds the face shield closed and provides a de-mist position to slightly crack the shield open
• VAS MAX Vision face shield provides excellent visibility in all seasons 
• Clear Pinlock insert included
• Neckroll designed with integrated wire pocket
• Emergency Release System (ERS)
• Snell 2020 and DOT approved

Arai pairs Japanese hand-craftsmanship with industry-leading technology. Each helmet is a balance of tradition with a constant push to drive performance and safety ever further. Each Arai helmet goes through five separate quality-control departments: two in-process inspections, shell inspection, paint and graphic inspection, and final assembly approval. A peerless helmet is the result.

The Contour-X Helmet is its own special balance of race-bred technology with a street-ready focus. Ventilation, weight-savings and comfort are packed into a helmet that is aimed for riders who never let the odometer rest. For easy access on and off, the Contour-X features a 5mm flare around the base and the wide VAS MAX Vision shield includes a Pinlock insert. The premium brushed nylon interior is removable and features Arai's Facial Contour System (FCS) and neck roll wire pocket for easier Bluetooth installation.

Evolution

The PB e-cLc outer shell design outlines a stylish, organic shape. Peripherally Belted e-Complex Laminate Construction allows strength without the penalty of weight. The shell shape is engineered to glance off and disperse impact forces. New materials and formulations replace the former AR-mat middle layer. Overall, the PB e-cLC shell exceeds cuts weight and exceeds the performance of the PB-cLc design that it supersedes.
