DescriptionThe whole story▼
Worn by the most decorated rider in Superbike World Championship history, the Arai RX-7V Evo Jonathan Rea SB3 2025 Replica brings the exact livery Jonathan Rea campaigned at the highest level of WorldSBK directly to your head. The glossy SB3 Replica finish is rendered with the same exacting attention to detail that defines Arai's flagship full-face helmet, making this the definitive piece for serious fans and track-day riders who refuse to compromise on either aesthetics or protection.
Key Features
- Exclusive Jonathan Rea SB3 2025 Replica livery in a high-gloss finish — authentic WorldSBK heritage on an ECE 22.06-certified shell.
- Fibre-glass composite shell built around Arai's Rounder, Smoother, Stronger philosophy, engineered to deflect and disperse impact energy through superior glancing-off performance.
- VAS MAX Vision visor as standard, delivering a wide, panoramic field of view suited to both circuit and road use.
- Pinlock anti-fog insert included — clear vision guaranteed in rain, cold, and rapidly changing track conditions.
- Eco Pure interior lining — fully removable, antibacterial and machine washable, keeping the fit fresh across long sessions.
- 5-year Arai warranty, reflecting the long-term quality commitment built into every shell.
Evo Advances Over the RX-7V
The RX-7V Evo is a genuine evolution rather than a cosmetic refresh. Arai relocated the lateral air channels to improve aerodynamic stability at speed, while the redesigned cheek pads now use a hook-system for faster, tool-free removal — a meaningful improvement for first-responders in an emergency. The interior introduces the Eco Pure lining system across all contact surfaces. Together these updates allow the RX-7V Evo to meet the demanding ECE R22-06 homologation while retaining the rounded shell geometry that has always underpinned Arai's passive safety approach.
Optics, Aerodynamics and Comfort
The VAS MAX Vision visor system provides class-leading peripheral vision and is prepared for Pinlock fitment straight from the box. The shell's aerodynamic profile keeps the helmet planted and quiet at motorway and circuit speeds, reducing fatigue over long stints. Arai's integrated Brain Protection System adds an additional layer of rotational and direct impact management within the shell construction. The double-D-ring chin-strap closure is the racing standard for retention security — no ratchets, no uncertainty. Note that the XL shell steps up one shell size externally (86 to 88), so the fit remains uncompromised at every head size.
Design and Heritage
The Jonathan Rea SB3 2025 Replica is issued as a limited replica edition honouring Rea's SB3 campaign. The gloss lacquer is applied over Arai's fibre-glass composite shell in the precise colourway Jonathan Rea raced, making it instantly recognisable to anyone who follows WorldSBK. This is not a generic graphic lid — it is a documented replica tied to a specific season and a specific rider's legacy, which is precisely what differentiates it from the plain colourways in the RX-7V Evo range.
Fitment and Sizing
The RX-7V Evo is designed around Arai's race-oriented fit. It is not recommended for riders who require an OTG (glasses-friendly) helmet. Bluetooth and intercom systems are conditionally compatible; check system-specific compatibility lists before purchase. Size guide:
- XS: 53–54 cm
- S: 55–56 cm
- M: 57–58 cm
- L: 59 cm
- XL: 60–61 cm (shell steps up to size 88 externally)

“The replicas carry ECE 22.06 alone. You keep the hand-laid shell, the five SHARP stars and the best ventilation of the traditional helmets — you lose the racing homologation, and at 879 € that is a lot to give up.”
