Superior comfort

Tatsuki Suzuki replica - It is beautiful to look at, it’s a shame I can’t see it while wearing it.
Arai comfort is top notch, really well ventilated, and even has space for intercom speakers which I was surprised at being a race helmet.

Excellent helmet.

Everything you expect from an Arai, not the cheapest but certainly one of, if not the best helmet available today. Comfort and fit are exceptional but you still require ear plugs.

Amazing Helmet
15 Apr 2025 by Craig
This is by far the most expensive helmet I have ever bought but I fell in love with it at the NEC Motorcycle Live show and I am over the moon with it. The build quality and finish is amazing and the fit is so good. I thought my X-lite 803 fitted well until wearing this. A lot less wind noise than any other helmet I’ve owned. Quite possible that Arai has a customer for life going forward.

Head protection means managing impact energy. Many understand it to be about absorbing energy, but Arai believes that's just one part of impact energy management. The lower the impact energy, the less needs to be absorbed. Arai does that by making a rounder, smoother and stronger outer shells to improve Glancing Off performance and reduce impact energy transferring into the helmet. This is unique to Arai and their core philosophy.
The RX-7V EVO, is packed with seven decades of experience and is the new flagship model with proven Arai protection, combined with the ECE R22.06 approval. It's not just a new model, it's a new benchmark. 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.
