The Contour-X splits the difference between the two, offering the optimal balance of performance and practicality for the road. The Corsair-X never suffered those ventilation woes but it also did little in the way of comfort. I’ve always enjoyed the Regent-X's accommodating interior but frequently wished for additional airflow. In finding a middle ground between form and function, Arai also created a happy medium between its top-tier and beginner-friendly models. No matter the helmet, I will always stand by my ear plug recommendation, but riders should rest assured that the Contour-X muzzles most of the incoming wind noise, regardless. That's because Arai designs the cheek pads to rest against the rider’s ears, muffling the turbulent air sneaking past the chin curtain. I’m happy to report that the Contour-X didn’t assault my eardrums during that process. Helmet testing remains the only exception to that rule.

Full disclosure: I almost never ride without earplugs. However, even with nature’s air-con set to high, the helmet keeps wind noise to a minimum. Luckily, users can tailor the air current to preference and circumstance by simply closing one of the many inlets. So much so that I kept a Chapstick on hand for cold-weather riding. Still, with all inlets active, the Contour-X filters a staggering amount of air. When opening all six ports in succession, I frequently resembled a third base coach sending steal signs. I know what you’re thinking, that’s a bevy of vents to manage-and you’re right. That includes a chin intake, two crown vents, two visor brow inlets, and the logo duct. The Contour-X backs up those numbers on the road too, channeling ample air to the rider, especially when utilizing the full system. Arai measures the extra stream at 40 percent when traveling 50 km/h (31 mph) and seven percent at 120 km/h (75 mph). With the integrated top tab pulled up, the inlet funnels any zephyr into the two pass-through holes in the liner’s forehead area. The designers applied the same care when crafting the 3D logo duct.Īrai repurposes its obligatory crown branding into a surprisingly effective wind port. Functionally, the sliding mechanism is easy to actuate while wearing gloves and users can also replace the vent’s filter. A new air scoop chin vent not only updates the brand’s aesthetics but also yields more intake volume. In concert with the Contour-X's cosmetic glow-up, Arai revamped the helmet’s ventilation system. What customers can anticipate, on the other hand, is extra airflow. Now, the benefits may prove fruitful over the long haul, but don’t expect the Contour-X's flowing lines to cut seconds off your commute time. Worn back-to-back with both the Corsair-X (sans DF-X2) and the Regent-X, the Contour-X's wind-splitting advantages weren’t all that apparent. In the saddle, however, the difference goes unnoticed. The brand claims that the breakaway component mitigates fatigue over time. The team turned to the Corsair-X's DF-X2 add-on accessory as a starting point but adapted the form to meet sport-touring needs. To reduce buffeting while enhancing stability, Arai’s designers opted for a rear spoiler. The Contour-X may share the Regent-X's road-going DNA, but it turns to the Corsair-X for race-proven performance. Once I learned to wedge my thumb under the visor’s lip with each pull of the spring-loaded fastener, my shield-raising woes quickly became a thing of the past. Like anything, though, muscle memory builds over time. Those unfamiliar with the brand will undoubtedly fumble with the safety-oriented lifting latch throughout the first few rides.
