Arai RX-7V Evo Helmet Tsubasa Replica – ECE 22.06 Fibreglass Full-Face | 137-0355

Few helmets earn the reputation the Arai RX-7V Evo carries into the 2025 season, and the Tsubasa Replica edition earns its place at the top of that lineage through the quality of every material and the precision of every joint. Beneath its striking Tsubasa Replica livery — applied in a gloss finish that does justice to the original — lies a fibreglass-composite shell built to Arai's Rounder, Smoother, Stronger philosophy, where shell geometry is engineered to deflect and redirect impact energy rather than absorb it through brute mass alone.

Key Features

• ECE 22.06 homologated fibreglass-composite shell — one of the most demanding approvals in the world, achieved without compromise to Arai's own internal standards.
• VAS MAX Vision visor as standard — a larger-aperture shield that extends peripheral awareness on road and circuit alike, paired with a Pinlock anti-fog insert included in the box.
• Eco Pure interior liner — fully removable, machine washable and treated with antibacterial properties so the helmet stays as fresh as the day it arrived.
• Revised cheek pads with hook-and-loop retention — tool-free removal in seconds, making post-ride ventilation and emergency first-responder access genuinely straightforward.
• Repositioned lateral air channels — aerodynamic refinements over the outgoing RX-7V that reduce buffeting and improve stability at motorway and track speeds.
• Brain Protection System integrated into the shell construction — an additional layer of engineered protection working alongside the primary fibreglass structure.

Build Quality and Materials

The RX-7V Evo shell is hand-built in Japan using Arai's proprietary fibreglass-composite layup. The result is a shell that achieves a weight of approximately 1,550 g (± 50 g depending on size) while maintaining the structural integrity that Arai's racing pedigree demands. The Tsubasa Replica graphics are not stickers: they are laid beneath the gloss clear coat, giving the design the same longevity and depth you would expect from a factory race lid. The double-D ring closure is the only fastening system Arai fits to its racing helmets — a deliberate choice rooted in reliability under the most demanding conditions.

Visor and Aerodynamics

The VAS MAX Vision visor system offers a wider field of view than the previous-generation shield without introducing optical distortion at the edges. The included Pinlock insert creates a sealed air gap between the two lens surfaces, eliminating fogging in cold, wet or high-humidity conditions. The aerodynamic profile of the EVO shell has been revised specifically to keep the helmet planted at high speeds, reducing the neck fatigue that can build over a long track session or motorway ride.

Comfort and Long-Ride Usability

The race-oriented fit of the RX-7V Evo is cut closer than a touring helmet — it is designed to sit snugly with minimal internal movement, which translates directly into sharper aerodynamic performance and more consistent noise attenuation. Riders who wear prescription glasses should note that the sport-close fit makes OTG use difficult; this is a helmet built around performance rather than eyewear accommodation. Intercom and Bluetooth communication systems can be integrated, though compatibility varies by system — consult your communication system manufacturer before purchase. Arai backs the RX-7V Evo with a five-year warranty from date of purchase.

Fitment and Compatibility

The Arai RX-7V Evo Tsubasa Replica is a universal full-face helmet suitable for road and track use across all motorcycle categories. Size selection should be made using head circumference measured at the widest point:

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

Note: at size XL, the outer shell steps up one shell size (86 to 88) to accommodate the larger interior volume correctly.
