The RX-7X Hayden Reset is the latest helmet that pays homage to the MotoGP legend introduced by Arai for the new year.

  • Arai pays homage to the late Nicky Hayden with the latest RX-7X Hayden Reset.
  • The helmet features Hayden’s iconic number 69. 

The helmet bears Hayden’s permanently-retired number 69 on full display that also features a red, white and black livery.

Please note that while the number 69 is a reference to Hayden’s career in MotoGP, it was also a number he inherited from his father. After multiple wins in his 13 years in the world championship, Hayden was inducted into the hall of fame with his number permanently retired.

Similar to every Arai’s top-of-the-range helmet, the RX-7X Hayden Reset is a track-ready helmet that meets the latest FIM Homologation and ECE22.06. 

Arai crafted the helmet from their PB-SNC2 fibreglass material, which is shaped to Arai’s standard. 

The Arai RX-7X Hayden Reset also has a Pinlock fog-proof visor as standard. That said, the Arai RX-7X Hayden Reset comes in a variety of sizes, ranging from XS to XL and is priced at JPY66,000 (RM2.1k).

Hayden accumulated 252 points to emerge champion, with Valentino Rossi 2nd and Loris Capirossi third in the standings.

The Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, in a statement, says that apart from emerging as world champion, Hayden also broke Rossi winning streak.

“The Kentucky Kid was best known for winning the 2006 MotoGP World Championship, breaking Valentino Rossi streak of five straight titles. Hayden emerged in 1997, winning the inaugural AMA Horizon Award in recognition of his flat-track prowess.

“In 1999, he was named AMA Athlete of the Year after capturing the AMA Supersport title, and his first Grand National win.

“Three years later, he became the youngest ever winner of the AMA Superbike Championship, including the 2002 Daytona 200.”

The American rider will be inducted into the hall of fame on September 29th as part of the 2021 class of inductees for the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.

Hayden was involved in an accident after being hit by a driver while cycling alone near Rimini, Italy.
