The RX-7V EVO Nakagami-GP2; a design made for MotoGP rider Takaaki Nakagami. Designed by famous designer YF Design, the RX-7V EVO Nakagami-GP2 moves away from the well known winged design to a colourfully decorated design based on the one-off special from last year's Japanese GP.
Arai’s RX-7 has always been the benchmark in motorcycle racing R&D at the very highest level. Handmade in Japan by a three-generation family company of riders, it is Arai’s state of-the-art helmet in terms of protection, ventilation, comfort and fit. The new RX-7V EVO, apart from accumulated improvements under the skin, looks identical. Because it is.
The difference? Everything. And most recently ECE R22-06 approval. Arai is always trying to accumulate small improvements one-by-one decade after decade as well as meeting standards. In addition to ECE R22-06, every Arai has to meet the company’s own in-house criteria. This is a really important point to note for any rider or racer interested in ultimate protection which comes from Arai’s dedication to protecting fellow riders.
