The Contour-X is designed for the modern motorcycle rider and aimed at a brand-new generation of riders who desire dynamic race-derived performance and all-day comfort on the road.

Extensive work by the R&D team in the lab, on the road, and out on the racetrack, with the ever-present goal of creating a full-featured, exceptional new Arai helmet, the Contour-X comes with unmatched performance, but with room for a stylish new look that provides a high level of comfort and protection over thousands of miles.

The Contour-X has Arai's INTERMEDIATE OVAL (IO) interior fit shape.

The Contour-X has the new VAS mechanism with a variable axis incorporating a moving pivot point. By combining the pin trajectory, which is based on an imaginary axis, with the two trajectories of the double pivot point slot, the shield opens and closes smoothly even with the much lower shield mount position.

A dual-function lever releases both the side cover/pod and shield pin for quick and simple shield removal. Being able to see the shield mechanism allows for easier shield changes.
