Arai Contour-X Snake Helmet - 2023

The new Arai Contour-X helmet is designed for every modern motorcycle rider who desires dynamic race-derived performance and all-day comfort on the road. This new helmet style provides a high level of ventilation, comfort and protection.

Design and protection:

• Intermediate Oval Shape: designed for the rider whose head has a front-to-back dimension that is longer than the side-to-side dimension. This is a neutral head-shape design which tends to fit most riders well.
• PB-cLc-2 shell with AR-mat and Generation Z resin: reinforced, lighter and stronger construction!
• Wider base of 5 mm: new design making it easier to get the helmet on and off
• New rear spoiler: improved aerodynamics to lower the rider's fatigue
• Famous Arai R75 overall organic helmet shape: long-tested and well-accepted design to absorb the most energy during an impact

Comfort:

• FCS cheek pads (Facial Contour System): multiple layers of varying foam densities supported by a "spring" foam, giving extra comfort to the lower jaw and cheeks
• FFS chin curtain (Free Flow System): improves airflow and reduces noise, while increasing hot air exhaust
• Interior lining: odor resistant, antimicrobial, soft-brushed and semi-removable liner
• Adjustable head liner: different height levels for a custom fit

Ventilation:

• New 3D Arai logo duct: 3.5 mm embossed logo with a closable in-air intake for extra ventilation, even at low speed
• Air-scoop chin vent: front air intake with a replaceable inner filter and a 3-way switch option (open, midway and closed)
• Other intakes: brow vents and dual F1-derived tear duct on top
• Opening under the rear spoiler: rear air exhaust with 3-way switch option (open, midway and closed)
• Other exhausts: sides and neck with aerodynamic stability

Shield:

• VAS shield mechanism (Variable Axis System): moving pilot point allowing for a lower shield mount position
• Dual-function lever: removable cover plate and shield pin for a quick-release shield
• Improved VAS shield de-mist latch: captures and securely holds the shield closed to help resist unexpected opening
• VAS Max Vision shield: large-visibility visor with two highly efficient brow vents
• Pinlock lens insert (included!): clear anti-fog lens absorbing moisture, perfect for colder seasons

Other Features:

• Speaker pockets inside the cheek pads
• Outside Intercom accommodation: flat-designed exterior sides to fit and connect a communication system easily
• Neck roll wire pocket: small inner opening to tuck away any excess speaker wires
• ERS (Emergency Release System): integrated bright pull tabs inside the cheek pads for an easier access to an injured rider
• Double D-ring strap
• DOT and Snell M2020 certified

Note: Head liner and cheek pads are removable, but not the chin curtain and neck roll. All parts can be cleaned with lukewarm water and gentle soap.
