DescriptionThe whole story

The Arai RX-7V Evo in Diamond White is a helmet that earns its place at the pinnacle of road and race-oriented headwear through decades of Japanese shell-crafting heritage and an aesthetic finish that stands apart on circuit and street alike. The glossy Diamond White livery is paired with Arai's meticulous fiberglass-composite construction — a combination that signals both purity of purpose and uncompromising quality. Certified to the demanding ECE 22.06 standard and FIM homologated, the RX-7V Evo is the natural choice for riders who refuse to compromise between appearance and protection.

Key Features

  • ECE 22.06 and FIM homologated — meets the most stringent current certification requirements for road and competition use
  • Fiberglass-composite shell delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, with a weight of approximately 1,550 g ± 50 g
  • Redesigned cheek pads in the Evo version relocate the side air channels to the rear of the pad, improving both fit and interior ventilation flow
  • VAS MAX Vision visor provides an expansive field of view in all seasons and conditions, and ships ready-prepared for Pinlock anti-fog insert — included as standard
  • Fully removable and washable interior liner crafted from the new Eco Pure material for improved comfort and hygiene over long periods of use
  • Double-D-ring retention system and a five-year Arai guarantee round out a helmet built to last

Design, Finish and Heritage

The Diamond White finish is not merely a colour choice — it is a statement of intent. Arai's paint and lacquer process produces a deep, glossy white that ages gracefully and remains visually striking whether viewed under paddock lighting or full sun. The RX-7V Evo represents the evolution of one of Arai's most celebrated race-derived helmet lines, refined to accommodate the stricter ECE R22-06 regulation without sacrificing the aerodynamic profile that made the original RX-7V a favourite among professional and club racers worldwide.

The outer shell is sized up for XL: the shell steps from size 86 to size 88 at XL, so riders between sizes may wish to try both for optimum fit.

Interior and Comfort

The EVO generation brings a genuinely revised interior. The cheek pads have been redesigned and the lateral air channels repositioned to the rear face of the pad, creating a cleaner airflow path and a more precise, race-oriented fit. The complete liner system is removable and machine washable, and uses Arai's new Eco Pure fabric to manage moisture and maintain freshness across touring days and track sessions alike. The helmet is conditionally compatible with select communication and intercom systems — SHARP lists communication system compatibility notes for the RX-7V Evo — though the close race fit means it is not ideally suited to glasses wearers.

Fitment and Compatibility

The Arai RX-7V Evo is a full-face helmet designed for road riding and track-day or competition use. It carries ECE 22.06 homologation and is FIM approved. 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 at XL is one size larger (86 to 88) compared with XS through L.

“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.”
