Arai RX-7V Evo Samurai Motorcycle Helmet
Arai’s RX-7 has always been the benchmark in 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 in terms of protection, ventilation, comfort and fit. The new RX-7V EVO, apart from accumulated improvements under the skin, looks identical. Because it is.
The difference? Everything. And most recently ECE R22-06 approval. Arai is always trying to accumulate small improvements one-by-one decade after decade as well as meeting standards. In addition to ECE R22-06, every Arai has to meet the company’s own in-house criteria. This is a really important point to note for any rider or racer interested in ultimate protection which comes from Arai’s dedication to protecting fellow riders.
ECE R22-06 equires a much more stringent testing process than the previous ECE R22-05 and includes an oblique test to measure rotation. Arai presented this model and it gained homologation while maintaining its characteristic round, smooth and strong shell design. Or simply put, by being an Arai.
Acquisition of the latest standards represent the current benchmark of the time, but Arai always continues to pursue improvements to protect the rider.
PB-SNC2 OUTER SHELL - The Structural Net Composite adds a physical bond to the resin bond of the many layers of fibres and reinforcing materials within the shell. The latest “Z-Mixture” resins increases material adhesion requiring less resin for a stronger bond between materials for a thinner and lighter shell.
Air Wing - MotoGP tested and designed to greatly reduce drag, turbulence and buffeting resulting in more comfort and additional top-speed. It improves stability of the helmet at high speeds or when braking hard and reduces noise. Depending on the model the Air Wing is adjustable in five different angles of attack positions to suit every riding position.
