ARAI Helmets Contour-X Star Helmet - Small (Part 0101-18580) with Advanced Aerodynamics and Ventilation

The ARAI Helmets Contour-X Star Helmet offers a combination of innovative design and functional features tailored for touring riders seeking comfort and safety. Its lightweight outer shell is constructed using Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), providing high strength and durability while maintaining a sleek profile. The helmet's organic shape enhances aerodynamics and reduces wind buffeting, contributing to rider stability at highway speeds. An extra layer of super fiber belting in the shell ensures rigidity in critical areas, supporting long-term durability and impact resistance. The shell's design includes integrated side ducts and a 5 mm flare around the opening, facilitating easier helmet donning and doffing, especially for new riders, while ensuring a snug, secure fit.
The Contour-X features a variable axis system (VAS) that lowers the visor mounting position by approximately 24 mm across the temple areas, optimizing the helmet’s shape to efficiently deflect energy during impacts. This thoughtful adjustment enhances safety while providing a more aerodynamic profile.
For ventilation, the helmet boasts a 3-position sliding chin vent with a large intake volume and a replaceable filter. The vent's thicker, glove-friendly actuating mechanism allows easy control in various weather conditions. Additionally, the helmet includes a 3D Arai logo duct, only 3.5 mm in depth, which feeds two central 10 mm intake ports. The logo duct performs well at low speeds and in an upright riding position, and it can be opened or closed effortlessly with gloves via a short-stroke lever positioned on top.
The rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but redesigned for touring, is a one-piece aerodynamic component positioned slightly forward on the shell. It is fed by three ports and effectively channels airflow to reduce buffeting and improve stability, especially when overtaking. The spoiler is designed to break away upon impact, ensuring safety without compromising protection. An integrated exhaust function enhances airflow management, contributing to rider comfort over long distances.
The helmet's exterior is designed for seamless communication system integration. A small stitched opening inside the neck roll allows easy concealment of excess wiring, supporting clean installation of intercom and communication devices without sacrificing helmet integrity. The helmet's stylish, organic form and lightweight construction make it an ideal choice for touring enthusiasts who prioritize safety, comfort, and aerodynamic efficiency.
