DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Arai RX-7V Evo carries the highest safety certification available for road and racing use — ECE 22.06 — and wears the striking Ai Ogura replica livery that brings MotoGP paddock energy to every ride. As the refined successor to the acclaimed RX-7V, this is Arai's flagship full-face helmet, engineered to the most demanding homologation standard and FIM approved for competitive use.
Key Features
- ECE R22-06 certified and FIM homologated — meeting the strictest international safety standards for both road and racing environments
- Fiberglass composite shell delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior impact energy management
- VAS MAX Vision visor provides a wider, clearer field of view in all seasons and lighting conditions
- Pinlock anti-fog insert included as standard — ready to fit, no additional purchase required
- Redesigned cheek pads with relocated side air channels moved to the rear of the pad for improved airflow and a more secure race fit
- Fully removable and washable interior liner made with the new Eco Pure material for improved comfort and hygiene
- Double D-ring retention system — the trusted, race-proven fastening method preferred by competition riders
- 5-year Arai warranty as standard
ECE 22.06 Certification and Safety
The RX-7V Evo was developed in direct response to the more stringent requirements of ECE R22-06 — the current European safety regulation that introduced significantly tougher rotational impact and oblique impact testing. Achieving this certification required Arai to revisit shell geometry, interior padding and the overall fit architecture. The result is a helmet that exceeds what its predecessor could offer from a safety standpoint, without compromising the race-focused performance that defines the RX-7V lineage.
Ai Ogura Replica Livery
The Ai Ogura edition is finished in a high-gloss paint scheme that replicates the livery of the Japanese MotoGP contender. The 2024 collection design is applied with Arai's exacting paint standards, ensuring depth, clarity and longevity. If you are looking for a helmet that makes a clear visual statement while delivering championship-level protection, this is it.
Interior Comfort and Practical Detail
The revised interior of the RX-7V Evo uses Eco Pure materials throughout the removable liner, making it softer against the skin and more straightforward to launder. The cheek pad redesign also means the side ventilation channels now run behind the padding rather than through it, improving the snug race fit that Arai's sportier customers demand. Note that the close-fitting race geometry means this helmet is not ideally suited to glasses wearers, and Bluetooth intercom integration is possible only on a conditional basis — check system compatibility before purchase. In XL, the outer shell steps up one size (shell 86 to shell 88), which is worth noting if you are comparing across sizes.
