3D Arai logo duct, just 3.5 mm in depth, feeds two central 10 mm intake ports — the logo duct works well at low speed and with an upright riding position and can be opened or closed easily with summer or winter gloves via a short-stroke lever placed at the top* (if the rider can't see the lever and the logo is in its normal place, the duct is open). The logo duct is designed to break away in the event of an impact. Aerodynamic rear spoiler with one-piece exhaust function: the one-piece aerodynamic rear exhaust/spoiler, operated by a 3-way switch and inspired by the DF-X2, is redesigned for touring use. The rear spoiler sits slightly more forward on the shell and is fed by three ports to efficiently draw air while smoothing airflow over and from the side of the helmet, improving stability and reducing buffeting at highway speeds to help reduce rider fatigue. Manufactured as thin and light as possible, the aerodynamic rear spoiler is designed to crush or break away upon impact, therefore having no influence on protective performance. 3-position (open, midway and closed) sliding air-scoop chin vent flows a large intake volume and features a replaceable filter; the sliding chin vent actuating mechanism is thicker and easy to use with gloves. Designed to fit and connect a communication system easily on the shell exterior without compromising the protection offered by the inner EPS liner. Outer shell outlines a stylish, organic shape and uses Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2) for lightweight strength and integrated side ducts. An extra layer of super fiber belting in the outer shell maintains rigidity in a crucial area while offering flat sides for easy fitment of an intercom system. With the Variable Axis System (VAS) the visor mounting position is lowered, yielding an average of an additional 24 mm across both temple areas to increase the helmet’s ability to glance off energy. Shell flares 5 mm around the opening to make it easier to get the helmet on and off, and a small stitched opening inside the neck roll allows an intercom installer to tuck away excess wiring for a clean final look.
