Arai Contour-X Face Helmet
As with every Arai, the Contour-X is formed around protection, first and foremost. Manufactured by hand, the outer shell maintains core strength but with a substantial weight reduction. The smooth, round shape is a key Arai signature and primarily designed to ‘glance-off’ and spread impact forces. Each Arai helmet goes through five separate quality-control departments: after the shell is made, after painting and graphic completion, after assembly and two in-process inspections; so you can be confident you're getting the best of the best!
The Contour-X offers a fresh choice for riders that want the very best performance from a helmet – in terms of protection, comfort and ease of wear, day-in-day out – with zero compromise. For easy access on and off the Contour-X features a 5mm flare around the base, while the VAS MAX vision visor comes with a Pinlock insert ready to use. The premium brushed nylon interior is removable and features Facial Contour System (FCS) and neck roll wire pocket. It also features Emergency Release System (ERS).
Using the aerodynamic and protective abilities of Arai’s full-race helmets and all the experience and know-how earned over millions of road miles, the new Contour-X slips through the air neatly and efficiently, wrapping its wearer in a cocoon of luxury.
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; it’s designed to glance off and spread impact forces. New materials have been used to substitute the AR-mat as 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 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 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). This allows shield opening and closing even with the lower shield position.
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:
- PB e-cLc Shell has superb tensile strength
- 3-position sliding air-scoop chin vent flows a larger intake volume of air and has a replaceable filter
- Adjustable chin vent is easy to use with gloves
- 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
- Replaceable/washable cheek pads and interior
- 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.
Observe
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.
