DescriptionThe whole story▼
Constructed around Arai's renowned fiberglass-composite shell and finished in the striking Tetsuta Nagashima Replica livery, the RX-7V Evo brings genuine Grand Prix character to the road without compromising a single gram of structural integrity. This is a helmet built to Arai's exacting philosophy — a smooth, rounded outer shell engineered to glance and deflect rather than snag, paired with the latest ECE 22.06 homologation for complete peace of mind at any speed.
Key Features
- ECE 22.06 certified to meet the most current European safety standard
- Premium fiberglass-composite shell delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio at approximately 1,550 g ± 50 g
- VAS MAX Vision visor provides a wide, panoramic field of view for confident riding in all conditions
- Pinlock anti-fog insert included as standard, ensuring clarity in cold and changeable weather
- Redesigned cheek pads with optimised airflow channels improve both fit and interior climate
- Fully removable and washable Eco Pure liner for lasting freshness on extended rides
- Double-D ring retention system — the choice of racers and serious road riders alike
- Five-year manufacturer's warranty on proven Arai craftsmanship
Shell Construction and Build Quality
The RX-7V Evo's outer shell is hand-laid from Arai's proprietary fiberglass-composite, a material chosen for its ability to flex and absorb energy progressively across the full surface of an impact. Unlike shells that prioritise lightweight at the expense of rigidity, Arai's composite construction maintains consistent wall thickness and curvature — the smooth, organic shape is not merely aesthetic, it is an integral part of the glancing surface concept that has defined every serious Arai helmet for decades. At approximately 1,550 g ± 50 g, the RX-7V Evo sits comfortably within the premium performance bracket without unnecessary mass.
Vision, Ventilation and Interior Comfort
The VAS MAX Vision visor is one of the largest apertures available on a current production full-face helmet, giving a genuinely expansive view that benefits both track riding and long-distance touring. The Pinlock-prepared port and included Pinlock insert eliminate fogging at temperature extremes, keeping your vision clear whenever conditions change suddenly. Inside, revised cheek pads with improved airflow channelling work alongside the Eco Pure liner fabric to regulate temperature and wick moisture efficiently. Every interior component is fully removable for straightforward washing — an essential quality for riders who cover serious mileage.
Tetsuta Nagashima Replica Design
The Tetsuta Nagashima Replica graphic is rendered with the precise, layered finish that Arai applies to all its replica helmets — sharp registration, consistent depth of colour, and a lacquer that protects the livery without adding unnecessary surface texture that could impair the shell's glancing properties. For riders who want their helmet to carry the unmistakable presence of international racing while remaining fully road-legal and daily-usable, this colourway delivers on every level.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Arai RX-7V Evo is a race-oriented full-face helmet with a close, performance-biased fit. It is suitable for road and track-day use across all modern motorcycles. Please note the following regarding compatibility:
- Available in sizes XS, S, M, L, and XL — Arai sizing is specific; a professional fitting is strongly recommended
- Conditionally compatible with select Bluetooth and intercom communication systems (SHARP lists communication system compatibility for the RX-7V Evo — verify your specific unit before purchase)
- The sporting race-fit shell geometry means this helmet is not ideally suited to riders who require glasses; contact lens wearers or riders comfortable with the narrow entry profile will be best served

“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.”

Reviewers call the airflow the strongest thing about it.
Smooth shell, no snag points — Arai's long-standing rule.
