Arai RX-7V Evo Helmet Setting The Standard 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 continues to be the benchmark meeting the new ECE R22-06 approval. But, even after exceeding the most recent standard, Arai does not rest and continues to look for new ways to improve rider protection. 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. Ventilation The combined systems offer excellent and efficient ventilation. Utilizing the same proven system as the RX-7V, the centre duct provides 11% more airflow, with bigger switches for effortless operating. The lowered side-air channels guide air from the cheek pad area to the side ducts. The diffuser is 20 mm longer with improved aerodynamics, and 19% larger intake scoops, both work together with the Air Wing to improve stability. The chin cover blocks air intrusion and draws more air from the mouth area.
