Arai Contour X Motorcycle Helmet Review from SportbikeTrackGear.com

[@feralcat7111]

Arai has been a Go-To for me for over 2 decades. This is the best review & explanation of this helmet I've seen yet, as this version has been confusing me a bit about upgrading. Thanks! Looking fwd to the comm install vid!

Arai makes the most premium helmets. This is the best video showing it off. Great stuff chap.

I've been riding in this helmet, the euro version, Quantic, for 2 seasons now, its an awesome helmet for the street, for me its almost perfect, the only gripe I have is a somewhat small chin curtain, other then that, the visor system, the comfort, the ventilation, everything top notch.

I just LOVE Arai. Bought my 10th Arai this year (RX7-V Evo FIM). I started with Arai in 2012 and the only thing that comes very close for me is Shoei.

One of the very best in the world for sure. - Van

planning on doing a video on the xd5? i know that's not your style of helmet but ive heard a lot of mixed feelings about it vs the xd4

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We are looking to get this done in the next few weeks. - Van

[@carlosvejar3938]

I think I want to get the XD -5, I got a V-STROM recently and I sit straight up and down on that bike. Oh thanks for recommending the rst boots, amazing protection for a tremendous value. For real

[@sportbiketrackgear]

That would be an excellent helmet on the V-Strom. - Van

@@sportbiketrackgear thanks Van. You guys have the best gear. I am ordering some Pitbull Paddock Stands from you next week. You guys have an awesome program and congratulations to your son on having a great future in racing

Would this helmet work on an upright naked bike? Not worried about noise as I wear plugs. Mostly worried about wind protection

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Yes this helmet will perform well on a naked bike. - Van

It’s a shame that this graphic is not available in Europe :(

[@sportbiketrackgear]

For sure this is a great looking helmet. - Van

This is an excellent helmet. - Van

How do you feel about this lining material vs. the one in the Corsair/quantum X? It looks a bit different, more similar to the regent-x but not exactly. Thanks!

[@LeeTillbury]

Hey Bri. Is this above the RX7V?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

End of the day they are super similar. The model you noted has some additional ventilation and an aero wing on the back. It's more purpose built for the track where this one is a street helmet that will also be at home on the track. - Van

Hijacking Corsair X vs A* ??

[@sportbiketrackgear]

To be fair they are both excellent. The biggest difference will be the fit. The Arai has a larger opening at the bottom of the shell that makes it easier to put on and take off while using a unique cheek pad design to still get a secure fit. The Alpinestars (and most of the other helmets in this category) use a smaller opening which requires a little more on/off effort but gets you a really secure fit (this is the fit I prefer). The Astars also vents just a little bit better (super close). Hope this helps, I am sure you would love either one. - Van

Corsair X.

This guy's over here hacking up a lung and not even cutting it out 😂

People cough it's winter man. This is a bike shop not a Hollywood studio. If you don't like it then don't watch it. - Van
