New for 2023, the Contour-X is designed for the modern motorcycle rider — a race-derived full-face helmet that delivers exceptional performance and all-day comfort on the road. Extensive development in the lab, on the road, and on the racetrack has resulted in a helmet that combines unmatched protection with a stylish, contemporary design.
Arai is the only company offering multiple interior-fit shapes to better address the infinite variety of riders' head shapes and sizes. The Contour-X features Arai's Intermediate Oval (IO) interior fit shape. A helmet must be tried on to determine a proper fit.
3D Arai Logo Duct
The new 3D Arai logo duct — just 3.5mm in depth — feeds two central 10mm intake ports, a first for Arai and made possible by the PB-cLc2 shell construction. At 31 mph it channels 40% more airflow; at 74.5 mph, 7% more. A short-stroke lever at the top opens and closes the duct easily with gloves. The duct is designed to break away upon impact.
Aerodynamic Rear Spoiler with One-Piece Exhaust Function
The one-piece aerodynamic rear exhaust/spoiler, operated by a 3-way switch, is inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but redesigned for touring use — and tested up to 300 km/h at Suzuka. It efficiently draws air while smoothing airflow over and around the helmet, improving stability and reducing buffeting at highway speeds. Designed to crush or break away upon impact, it has no influence on protective performance.
Air-Scoop Chin Vent
The 3-position (open, midway, and closed) sliding air-scoop chin vent flows a larger intake volume of air and features a replaceable filter. The actuating mechanism is easy to use with gloves.
Intercom Accommodation
Designed to fit and connect a communication system easily on the shell exterior — without any compromise to the protection offered by the inner EPS liner. A neck roll wire pocket allows installers to neatly tuck away excess wiring for a clean finish.
Outer Shell: PB-cLc2
The Contour-X uses Arai's Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2) for lightweight strength. An updated material replaces the AR-mat to reduce weight while maintaining rigidity. An extra layer of Super Fiber belting reinforces a crucial area and provides flat sides for easy intercom fitment.
5mm Wider Opening
The shell flares 5mm around the opening, making it easier to put on and take off — particularly helpful for riders new to Arai's snug initial fit.
