DescriptionThe whole story

The Arai RX-7V Evo in Diamond Black is the purest expression of Arai's decades-long commitment to helmet craft — a gloss-black fibre glass shell that carries the lineage of world championship racing without a single unnecessary flourish. This is the RX-7V evolved for ECE 22.06, refined in every detail and finished in a timeless Diamond Black that lets the shell's organic shape speak entirely for itself.

Key Features

  • ECE R22.06 and FIM homologated — meeting the most stringent road and racing certification standards currently in force
  • Fibre glass composite shell with Arai's characteristic smooth, rounded profile engineered to manage and deflect impact energy
  • Redesigned cheek pads in the Evo iteration, with lateral ventilation channels repositioned to the rear of the cheek pad for improved airflow management
  • VAS MAX Vision visor fitted as standard, delivering an expanded field of view in all light conditions and across all seasons
  • Pinlock anti-fog insert included — lens prepared and supplied ready to fit, eliminating visor mist at a moment's notice
  • Fully removable and washable interior made with Eco Pure materials, keeping the liner fresh across long track days and tours
  • Double-D-ring retention system and a five-year Arai manufacturer's guarantee

Design, Finish and Heritage

Diamond Black is not simply a colour — it is a deliberate design statement. The high-gloss lacquer deepens the visual mass of the RX-7V Evo's sculpted shell, highlighting the flowing contours that Arai has refined across more than seventy years of helmet making. Where graphic variants shout for attention, this finish rewards closer inspection: the shell's compound curves, the precision-machined vent sliders and the VAS visor mechanism all read with a quiet authority that suits both the pitlane and the open road.

The 2023 collection RX-7V Evo represents a meaningful evolution of the acclaimed RX-7V platform. Updated specifically to achieve ECE R22.06 homologation — the toughest version of the European safety standard to date — it introduced revised cheek pad geometry, repositioned side air channels and the new Eco Pure interior fabric alongside the shell architecture that has made the RX-7V a consistent choice among professional racing teams worldwide.

Performance and Comfort

At approximately 1,550 g (± 50 g), the RX-7V Evo sits firmly in premium full-face territory — a weight that reflects the hand-finished fibre glass composite construction rather than any cost-driven compromise. The race-oriented fit is close and supportive; riders who wear spectacles should note that the snug cheek pad geometry makes this helmet a challenging fit for glasses, and a try-on before purchase is strongly recommended. Bluetooth and intercom compatibility is conditional — SHARP documents a "Communication system compatibility" listing for the RX-7V Evo, so verifying your specific system against Arai's compatibility guide before fitting is advised.

Size Guide

Select your size using the head circumference guide below. Note that the XL shell is manufactured one size larger than the M and L shells (shell size 86 increases to 88 for XL), which may affect storage and transport considerations.

  • XS — 53 to 54 cm
  • S — 55 to 56 cm
  • M — 57 to 58 cm
  • L — 59 cm
  • XL — 60 to 61 cm (outer shell one size larger)

Fitment & Compatibility

The Arai RX-7V Evo is a universal full-face helmet suitable for all motorcycle disciplines. It is homologated for road use under ECE R22.06 and holds FIM homologation for competition use. Compatibility with communication and intercom systems should be verified with Arai's official compatibility listings prior to installation.

“The only helmet here with five SHARP stars, and the ventilation is genuinely the best of the traditional shells. You pay for it in weight — 1,568 g is a lot after two sessions — and the long-oval interior will not suit every rider.”
