The RX-7 has always been the benchmark of Arai’s motorcycle racing R&D at the very highest level. Handmade in Japan by a three-generation family company of riders, it is Arai’s state of-the-art helmet.

The new RX-7V EVO, apart from accumulated improvements under the skin, looks identical, but the difference? Everything, and most recently its ECE R22-06 approval. But, even after meeting the most recent standard, Arai does not rest and continues to look for new ways to improve rider protection, making us better prepared to meet the next standard when it comes. ECE R22-06 requires a much more stringent testing process than the previous ECE R22-05.

Arai presented the RX-7V EVO and it gained homologation while maintaining its characteristic round, smooth and strong shell design to ‘glance-off’ and spread impact forces. Or simply put, by being an Arai RX-7V EVO.

There is a difference with Arai. It’s the combination of every single piece of design, no matter how large, small or even invisible, working on behalf of the rider. Because what we protect is priceless.
