SZ-R EVO: Premium Open-Face Performance

The Arai SZ series has long been the benchmark in open-face protection. Trusted by professionals, long-range tourers, and urban commuters alike, the SZ-R EVO continues that legacy. Combining advanced protection, comfort, and all-round visibility in a lightweight, premium design. 

 

The SZ-R EVO gains the latest ECE R22-06 approval, meeting the most stringent testing standards without requiring major design changes. That’s because Arai’s core design philosophy, making outer shells that are rounder, smoother and stronger to improve “glancing off” performance, has always gone beyond regulation. 

 

Every Arai is built to meet the company’s own in-house criteria, which exceed international standards. It’s the result of decades of evolution, starting from the very first SZ model in 1988, refined through continuous testing and real-world feedback. 

 

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 together on behalf of the rider.  

 

Because what we protect is priceless.

SPECIFICATION

Overview

Ventilation:

The RX-7V EVO-inspired diffusers are designed for excellent aerodynamics, and work together with the Air Wing to improve stability. Efficiency of the intake scoops (compared to previous models) is increased by 19%. The air intake vents are adjustable through three positions: closed, half open and fully open; they also help to improve sealing for decreased wind noise and water intrusion.
