Arai RX-7V Evo Helmet – Frost Black

The Arai RX-7V Evo in Frost Black represents the pinnacle of Arai's decades-long pursuit of helmet craftsmanship — a refined evolution of the legendary RX-7V, now certified to the demanding ECE 22.06 standard and homologated by the FIM for competition use. The Frost Black finish gives this race-bred lid a quietly authoritative presence on road or track, a helmet whose heritage speaks before you even pull on the chin strap.

Design, Finish and Heritage

Frost Black is not simply a colourway — it is a statement of intent. The matte-influenced finish sits immaculately on the RX-7V Evo's sculpted fibre-glass composite shell, a shell that has been shaped through decades of Arai's wind-tunnel research and real-world racing feedback. Where previous RX-7V versions established a benchmark, the Evo refines it: the cheek pads have been redesigned, ventilation routing has been optimised, and the inner liner material has been upgraded. The result is a helmet that carries the lineage of Arai's race-winning legacy into a new generation of homologation standards.

Belonging to the 2023 collection, the RX-7V Evo Frost Black is the choice for riders who want their helmet to communicate precision and understatement rather than loud graphics — the preference of many professional and club-level racers who understand that the real story is in the engineering beneath the shell.

Ventilation and Comfort

The redesigned EVO interior moves the lateral air channels to the rear of the cheek pad, allowing a more efficient flow path through the helmet without compromising the close, supportive race fit that defines the RX-7V lineage. The Eco Pure liner is fully removable and machine washable, ensuring the interior stays fresh across long riding seasons. Note that the sporty, close-fitting race geometry means this helmet is not ideally suited to eyeglass wearers — the tight fit around the temples and cheeks makes inserting spectacle arms difficult.

Visor System

The VAS MAX Vision visor offers a panoramic field of view that is wider and taller than conventional race visors, reducing the need to move your head on fast, complex sections of road or circuit. The Pinlock anti-fog insert is included in the box and factory-prepared for installation, providing a reliable dual-pane barrier against fogging in cold or damp conditions. The visor mechanism accepts visor care oil, which is included in the accessory pack.

The helmet is conditionally compatible with select Bluetooth communication systems — Arai and SHARP list communication system compatibility for the RX-7V Evo, though fitment depends on the specific intercom unit chosen. Confirm compatibility with your intercom manufacturer before purchasing.

Size Guide

• XS — 53–54 cm
• S — 55–56 cm
• M — 57–58 cm
• L — 59 cm
• XL — 60–61 cm

Please note: the outer shell size increases by one shell size at XL (shell 86 increases to shell 88). If you are between sizes, Arai generally recommends sizing down for an initial snug fit that will settle with use.

Fitment & Compatibility

The Arai RX-7V Evo is a universal full-face helmet and is not vehicle-specific. It is suitable for road riding and track days and carries FIM homologation for use in recognised motorsport competition. Confirm the specific intercom system compatibility with your intercom manufacturer before fitting any communication device.
